So, I'm researching some Texas urban legends/folklore for erickripke with the dubious help of my father (which mostly consists of stories from when he lived there and I mostly now think that Texans are nuts). And what do I find, but FoxNews discussing the chupacabra like it's real. I love folklore and urban legends to a level that I probably ought to consider deeply unhealthy, but I never for one minute think that the roadkill on the side of the highway is going to turn out to be a vampire/Champy/goatman/Mongolian Death Worm.


...There should be a Mongolian Death Worm in my thirteenth century steampunk.

Not too long ago, a bought a book for my son titled Weird Maryland (er, since we live in Maryland) and the authors apparently are doing a similar book for each state.

You can see a preview of Weird Texas HERE.

I've read Weird Michigan - pretty interesting. Also, Texans are nuts. I have family who live there (and my parents are currently visiting them) and I can say with confidence that they're a bit crazy. :)
