The Most Popular Urban Legends From All 50 States

Charlie No-Face – Pittsburgh, PA

Weirdly enough, Charlie No-Face isn't actually just an urban legend... He's a real person. Charlie was a man who was horrifically disfigured in an accident. He liked to walk around at night so he wouldn't scare anyone. Sadly, those who did see him assumed that he was a monster and concocted the urban legend. He was never described as violent in the stories, just scary.

The Rougarou – Acadiana, LA

Louisiana locals have seen a white werewolf roaming around their classic swamps. The legend of the Rougarou transcends generations, so parents of today have adapted it in an attempt to keep their kids well behaved. “Don’t sneak candy, or the Rougarou will get you!”
