Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia is a historic site, home to the resting places of some of the United States’ most notable citizens—and plenty of haunting stories, too, from the rumors of a black iron dog that comes to life to protect the grave of a little girl to the rumors of the Richmond Vampire, said to skulk around the mausoleum of an account, W.W. Pool, who died back in 1922.

The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall—a vast estate that has belonged to the Viscount and Marquess Townshends for hundreds of years—might be one of Britain’s most famous ghosts. She’s rumored to be Dorothy Walpole Townshend, wife to the second Viscount and sister to Robert Walpole, Britain’s first prime minister. And an image of her ghost, descending the staircase that appeared in Country Life Magazine in December of 1936? That photo is certainly one of most of the most notable examples of spirit photography in existence. Really, this episode has a lot of pedigree.

Back in 1973, at the beginning of the Bigfoot craze, Murphysboro, Illinois threw their cryptid hat in the ring: in the June of that year, a slimy, stinky, white-haired monster appeared on the banks of the Big Muddy River, and set off a commotion that remains a mystery today.
