Seven Sisters Road (Road L) Nebraska City, Nebraska Just south of Nebraska City lies road L, or as the locals call it, Seven Sisters Road. As one of Nebraska's darkest tales goes, a man lived with his family in the area nearly over a century ago with his seven sisters. One day, for some unknown reason, perhaps jealousy over the treatment of his sisters since he was the only male in the family, he led his sisters out, one by one, to the surrounding hills of road L and hung them each from different hills. All seven sisters met their untimely demise. Today, as the legend goes, those who travel on the road encounter extreme paranormal phenomenons. Car troubles are often reported, headlights inexplicably dimming when driving on the road and when leaving the area, the lights go back to normal. Perfectly fine vehicles stalling on the road has been very widespread, as well as electronics and such being drained of energy. The most chilling of all reports however, is travelers have reported hearing the screams and wails of the sisters coming from the nearby hills, and apparitions of the young women have been spotted standing on the side of the road on a few occasions. Good-luck to those brave enough to travel the road...

Workman's Chapel, Burlington Junction, Mo.

In the north-west corner of the state of Missouri, near Maryville, a crumbling one room chapel sits just off a dirt road. Pastor John Workman built this chapel in 1901. As urban legend goes, stories of devil worship in the chapel have been told after it was deserted in the 50's. The adjacent cemetery has had reported sightings of soldiers, and the sound of hooves trotting through the grounds Figures darting behind headstones have been seen and some have heard church bells clanging when there are no bells in the church.The chapels alleged history is very dark and disturbing. A preacher stabbed to death a woman in a white dress and hid the murder weapon beneath the floorboards. A woman was hanged from one of the great, old trees, and greets visitors by dragging booted toes across the top of any car parked under it. A bearded giant in a flannel shirt wields an ax to chase off interlopers. The place is said to be more haunted than the famous Stanley Hotel and scarier than the Waverly Hills Sanatorium.
