More Spooky Stories

This story comes from Danielle from Hillcrest:
I heard that there is a tunnel in Shelley Idaho that is haunted.  They say if you go into the middle of the tunnel, turn your lights off and put your car in park they say your car will be moved by the devil spirits out the other side of the tunnel.  The people who have done it say they can see a red mist around the car as it moves.  (Some of the kids said they heard the same thing, but it seems none of them have ever been, so no one was real sure where exactly it was.)


Here is one from Kylee also from Hillcrest: 
There is an old cabin up in the Ririe (Idaho) foothills that is called Wolfman's Cabin.  The story is that a long time ago a farmer lived there with his family.  They were isolated, and after awhile the farmer started acting strange.  They say that the isolation from other people made him crazy.  He ended up killing his wife and kids and putting their bodies in a silo, then he killed himself.  The wolves got into the silo and dragged the body parts down into the town where they were found.  Now everyone says that the man comes back to haunt the cabin once a year on the day he killed his family.  Some of my friends knew where the cabin was, so we went driving one night to find it.  We were driving very slowly down the road because it wasn't a very good road when suddenly people started coming out of the trees that lined the road.  They looked scary, like they were zombies or high or something.  They surrounded our truck and started telling us to turn around because the place was evil.  I don't know what they were doing there in the middle of nowhere, but we were so scared.  We ended up turning around before we got to the cabin.  (One of my other students said he had been to the cabin and there were all sorts of satanic symbols all over the place.  SCARY!)

Spooky True Stories

I love Halloween!  It's fun to dress up and pretend to be someone else for a day, but really I love the spookiness of Halloween.  I wish I could say that I'm tough and don't scare easily, but I pretty much do.  Funny thing is, that doesn't keep me from trying to find scary stories and I'm all about the local legends.  It seems that teenagers always know the scariest places in town, so when I was teaching at Hillcrest and Bonneville in Idaho Falls I figured it would be a perfect time to find out some spooky stories about Idaho Falls.  So for class on every Halloween I had the kids write me some scary stories.  The rules were that the story had to be true and had to have happened to them or someone they knew.  I also wanted the story to be about Idaho Falls or the surrounding area.  Well a few of the kids took it seriously and seeing that it's getting close to Halloween I thought that I might share a few of those stories here.  Some of them I have to recall from memory because I don't have the papers anymore.  Anyways hope you enjoy!  PS~If you have any spooky stories I would LOVE to hear them in a comment!!!!  Remember the rules, it has to have happened to you or someone you know and preferably about the area you live in.

Today's story comes from Kelsey at Hillcrest:
The cemetery up off of Sunnyside (in Ammon Idaho) is supposedly haunted by a little girl.  And when you walk through the cemetery at night you will hear singing in a tree.  One time me and some friends were walking through it and we saw an open grave and when we went to look inside we heard a little girl giggling.  It was so scary we just left.  And I've heard other stories about people who have actually seen her. (As a side note I've done a little research about this cemetery and there are a few stories about it.  Some say it's a little boy, but all say that she sits in a tree by her grave and waves at people as they pass by.  A few of the other students in other years have mentioned this cemetery as well, so there you go!  SPOOKY!)
