Urban Legends From Every State Part 1

Entertainment, Travel 8 Minutes

From Reader’s Digest:

No matter where in the United States you’re from, your home state is sure to have its share of urban legends and urban myths. These scary stories aren’t just for Halloween; they’re whispered between campers, passed from town to town and reserved for nights when the power goes out. Urban legends may be spooky stories, but they aren’t necessarily ghost stories. They could have happened to someone you know, a relative or friend. These are the stories that make you do a double-take when you walk past abandoned places or make you check to make sure your door is locked when you’re home alone. Be careful next time you’re driving the back roads of America. You never know what scary urban legends you might encounter.

Alabama: Huggin’ Molly

The legend of Huggin’ Molly is clearly a tool used by parents to get their children to obey the rules: The story, native to Abbeville, tells of a phantom woman who appears to children if they stay out late at night. She grips the lingering child tightly and screams in their ear—she’s not meant to cause death, just one heck of a fright. Sounds like something straight out of a horror movie!

Alaska: The qalupalik

The qalupalik, an Inuit version of a mermaid or siren, calls with a hum to children who are wandering too close to the seashore, then takes them away in her baby pouch. The greenish, womanlike creature will never return a child once taken into the depths. Sounds like a good way to convince your kids not to go in the water, if you ask us.

Arizona: Slaughterhouse Canyon

Also known as Luana’s Canyon, the urban legend of Slaughterhouse Canyon tells the gruesome tale of a 19th-century gold miner who failed to come home to his family one night. Without his earnings, the mother and her children couldn’t buy food and began to starve. When she couldn’t stand it any longer, the wife chopped her kids into pieces, tossed them into the nearby river and died of despair. Her cries can still be heard echoing through the canyon.

Arkansas: The Gurdon Light

Like many urban legends, the story of the Gurdon Light has several variations. In one, a railroad worker was hit by a train and decapitated. His spirit can still be seen today, searching for his lost light. In another, the railroad worker bore a violent grudge against his boss who had fired him. He murdered his former employer with a railroad spike, and the victim now wanders the tracks. While the Gurdon Light is well documented, no one has been able to offer an explanation as to what it really is …

California: Char Man of San Antonia Creek

Per local lore, a father and son were trapped in a horrible fire. The father perished, and before help could arrive, the traumatized son lost his mind. He skinned his father and then ran into the forest. Now, known forever as Char Man, his blackened, burnt body is said to attack motorists on Creek Road in Ojai as he seeks more human skins.

Colorado: The Ridge Home Asylum

The Ridge Home Asylum was a real facility that opened in Arvada in 1912, but it’s become an urban legend because of its history. It reportedly housed patients who were horribly mistreated—some of whom weren’t even mentally incapable but had just been forsaken by their families. Though it was demolished in 2004, people say they can still hear the screams and see the apparitions of former patients on the grounds.

Connecticut: Dudleytown

The misfortunes that have occurred in Dudleytown, starting in the 1700s, are so terrible and numerous that its nickname is “Village of the Damned.” The now completely deserted town is said to have been home to many suicides, disappearances and even demonic activity that have given rise to several urban legends. It is believed that the founders of the village—and by extension, the village itself—are forever cursed.

Delaware: Fort Delaware

A prisoner camp during the Civil War, Fort Delaware in Delaware City was ultimately home to more than 30,000 Confederate soldier inmates. The few thousand who died before they could leave the Union fort are said to still haunt the area.

Florida: Captain Tony’s

Since 1852, Captain Tony’s, the oldest saloon in Key West, has been known to be haunted: Doors slam for no apparent reason, and there are inexplicable banging noises and frequent ghostly visitations. Perhaps that’s because it’s the site of the town’s original morgue and was built around a tree that the town once used for hanging pirates.

Georgia: “The Song of the Cell”

As urban legend goes, in 1848 Elleck and his wife, Betsy, both slaves, were in their home one night when their master, drunk and belligerent, crashed open the door. He attempted to attack Betsy, but Elleck fought him off. Undeterred, the master chased Elleck up a ladder into a loft. As the struggle continued, the master lost his balance, fell out of the loft and died. Even though Elleck turned himself in to the sheriff the next morning, explaining that what happened was self-defense, he was still charged with murder (par for the course in the antebellum South). Elleck was imprisoned in the Old Lawrenceville Jail and later executed unjustly for the crime. People say they can still hear his sorrowful song traveling through the walls of the old jail.

Hawaii: Pali Highway

Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess, has many myths attached to her name. One tells of her ill-fated union with the demigod Kamapua’a, who was half-pig, half-human. The two supernatural beings had a terrible breakup, agreeing to never see each other again. That’s why, as urban legend has it, if you carry pork with you when you travel over the Pali Highway in O’ahu, your car will come to an inexplicable halt. Next time you’re in the area, we advise sticking to chicken!

Idaho: The Water Babies of Massacre Rocks

This urban legend is about starvation and infanticide, so if you’re squeamish, you may want to skip ahead. When famine hit the local area of Pocatello, mothers resorted to drowning their babies in the rivers instead of letting them starve to death. It is said that those babies turned into fish-like imps whose new mission was to trick, or even murder, people.

Illinois: Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery

Often referred to as one of the most haunted graveyards in America, this 82-plot cemetery is known as the home of many phantom sightings. People who have visited the site have seen numerous inexplicable illusions, from a ghostly “White Lady” to an ephemeral white farmhouse.

Indiana: 100 Steps Cemetery

If you visit this cemetery in the town of Brazil and climb the 100 steps in the total darkness of night, urban legend has it you’ll see the ghost of the original caretaker appear before you on the top of the hill. Apparently he will give you a preview of what your own death will look like!

Iowa: Stony Hollow Road

As the saying goes, a woman scorned is not someone you want to mess with. Lucinda of the town of Burlington is no different. Legend says that when her fiancé failed to meet her there as promised one night, she threw herself off the bluffs along Stony Hollow Road. Ever since, her ghost has appeared to countless people. What’s (much) worse, if she leaves a rose at your feet, you are destined to die within 24 hours, or so the story goes …

Kansas: Molly’s Hollow

The urban legend of Molly’s Hollow speaks to the country’s racist history. As the legend goes, when the local townsfolk found out that Molly, an African American woman, was involved with a white man, she was lynched. People claim her spirit is still there, screaming at night.

Kentucky: Hogan’s Fountain

In Cherokee Park, you’ll find Hogan’s Fountain, which features a statue of Pan, the pastoral yet devious Greek god. At every full moon—some versions say every night at midnight—the figure of Pan wanders the park, causing mischief for passersby.

Louisiana: The Carter Brothers

Back in the early 1930s, a young woman escaped from the home of the Carter Brothers in New Orleans with slash marks on her wrist. She told the police that the brothers were feeding off her blood. The cops stormed the French Quarter residence where they found more young women in similar states, their blood draining from their bodies. The brothers, now thought to be vampires, were captured and executed, only for it to be discovered years later that their crypts were empty.

Maine: Seguin Island Lighthouse

Like many urban legends, the one in Maine has to do with isolation. As legend has it, in the 1800s, the caretaker of the Seguin Island Lighthouse and his wife were the only two people living on the tiny spit of land. They naturally grew increasingly bored and isolated. The caretaker bought a piano so his wife could play it to keep them both entertained, but she only knew one song. The insufferable repetition of the same tune, combined with severe isolation, drove the husband mad. He took an ax, chopped the piano and his wife into bits, and then killed himself. Or so the story goes …

Maryland: Bigg Lizz and the Greenbrier Swamp

During the Civil War, Bigg Lizz, a very large woman, was a slave who became a spy for the Union troops. But her espionage was found out by her master, who decided to exact revenge. Urban legend says he took Bigg Lizz to Greenbrier Swamp so she could help him bury a treasure. Bigg Lizz dug the hole, and was subsequently decapitated by her evil master, who threw her body into the grave she had just unwittingly dug for herself. It is said that if you travel to that spot during the dead of night, you will see her spirit there, attempting to lure you into the murky swamp.

Massachusetts: The Ghost of Sheriff George Corwin

When you think of haunted locales and birthplaces of urban legends in the United States, Salem is no doubt one of the top places that comes to mind. A key character in the Salem Witch Trials, Sheriff Corwin was the most infamous and brutal when it came to interrogating and handling accused witches, earning himself the nickname “The Strangler” for his torturous methods. A building called the Joshua Ward House now stands on top of the land where Corwin lived and died, and many people say they’ve seen him in the windows or even felt his hands pressing down around their necks when they’re inside the space.

Michigan: The Nain Rouge

This is one of the urban legends still recognized today, celebrated by the people of Detroit every year. They say there’s a devilish creature, known as the Nain Rouge (French for “red dwarf”), who causes mayhem in the city. He’s thought to be seen when disaster is about to strike and is even said to be the reason for the Cadillac company’s downfall in the city.

Minnesota: The Wendigo

The wendigo is a creature of Native American folklore that is thought to be the result of cannibalism. A person will turn into a wendigo, a fang-bearing creature that is tall, skeletal and hairy, if they resort to eating another human being. Will you fall prey to the glowing eyes and snake-like tongue of the wendigo, or is it just an urban legend?

Mississippi: The Witch of Yazoo

While living on the Yazoo River, an old woman allegedly lured boatsmen to their deaths with her magic. One day, the local sheriff chased her into a swamp, and as she drowned in quicksand, she put a curse upon the town. In 20 years, she said, she would return to set the city aflame. Eerily, in 1904 the city was hit with a massive fire, believed to be the work of the witch. The next day, when people went to visit her grave at the Glenwood Cemetery, they saw that the chain links around her grave had been broken. Or so the urban legend goes …

Missouri: The Landers Theater

The Landers Theater in Springfield is supposedly beyond haunted: From fires to stabbings to accidental deaths, this theater has seen it all and has many urban legends to tell. Locals and performers have alleged that they’ve seen the ghosts of the people believed to have perished there, including the janitor who was said to have died during a 1920 fire.

    1. Dropped an update about GT below. I’ve never felt any such thing anywhere. I’ve wished many times over I could experience something like that but nada. I heard that someone committed suicide in this house at one time and, frankly, I was kinda hoping for a “haunting.” I guess a person has to be open to that kind of thing and I’m just too logical and pragmatic.

      1. Justin Amash is “in” with the Fakestinians and won’t hesitate to lie! He cannot be trusted one iota!!!

        http://www.dci.plo.ps/en/article/22796/October-21,-2023—Reuters-Former-US-Congressman-says-relatives-killed-in-Israeli-Gaza-church-airstrike

        “Amash entered the political arena in 2008 when he was elected to Michigan’s state House of Representatives. As the child of Palestinian and Syrian immigrants, he said he was running to preserve the idea of the American dream.
        ————–
        Amash cited similar concerns when he announced he was leaving the Republican Party in a 2019 Washington Post op-ed. His message came after months of conflict between Amash, the GOP and the president, a consequence of the congressman’s call for President Donald Trump’s impeachment.

        Members of the GOP spoke out against Amash’s accusations — most notably, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.

        “What he wants is attention in this process,” said McCarthy in an interview with Fox News. “He’s not a criminal attorney. He’s never met Mueller. He’s never met Barr. Now he’s coming forward with this because this is what he wants.”

        https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/09/26/justin-amash-whats-next-ex-republican-and-trump-foe/3491245001/

        “WASHINGTON (JTA) — Chris Smith, the New Jersey Republican who is trying to push through a bill that would enhance the role of the anti-Semitism monitor, put out a news release minutes after it passed the US House of Representatives and noted it was approved “overwhelmingly.”

        Legislators love to describe support for their bills as “overwhelming,” but the word they love even more is “unanimous.” Only one vote kept Smith from tasting that victory, and it was by a fellow Republican: Justin Amash of Michigan.

        Why was Amash, a traditionalist Christian libertarian and Palestinian American, opposed to the bill, which would set a 90-day deadline for US President Donald Trump to fill a position left empty since the start of his term? JTA asked his office, as well as Amash directly on Twitter, and he was not forthcoming.”

  4. Morning, Pat. I don’t believe in ghosts or hauntings, personally, but it can be interesting to read about peoples’ fantasies. Amazing what imagination can conjure up!

    I’ve settled on a name, thanks to your suggestion of Teaser….Wheezer! Remember? From Steel Magnolias! It’s perfect for him! She was nasty on the surface, but caring underneath, and you never knew which one you were going to get every day! And he has a wheeze in his breathing! He didn’t show up again after his 2nd round at the food dish yesterday. This morning, when I turned on the patio light and opened the door, he jumped down from his chair and came to greet me…after he finished eating and walked away, I went back outside. Back to affectionate, rubbing, purring, even lying down and rolling over to let me rub his belly. I tried to pick him up and he started to freak so I quickly stopped. He has taken his second helping of food and is back in his chair.

      2. Internecine wars going on. Karen Kingston, who has come up with some truly outlandish scenarios that completely turned me away, was actually on top of this one some time ago. But she went after Malone with a vengeance (as you will see at the link), claiming he was “in on it” because he discovered the process, and Kirsch, IIRC. I wish they could just stop with the damned in-fighting and get it together! Anyone with an ounce of sense knew we couldn’t sue them w/o the proof – well, now we are at the point where we have the hard proof and enough people have been awakened that the support is there for lawsuits.

        1. from what i’ve read, either the fda admits they KNEW about the deception and pushed it anyway–which means THEY’RE LIABLE or they say they didn’t know which allows pfizer and moderna to be sued. since moderna and pfizer reaped the profits–to the tune of BILLIONS–they should be sued.
          either way, the fad HAS TO pull them from the market

      @CollinRugg
      NEW: Forensic accounting expert Linda Miller testified to members of Congress this week that up to *HALF* of pandemic relief fraud was stolen by United States adversaries like China and Russia.

      Holy s***!!

      “Data on this is still being evaluated, but there are some estimates that half of the Pandemic unemployment assistance fraud went to adversarial nations,” she said, as reported by the Epoch Times.

      “The nearly $5 trillion in government relief spending during the COVID-19 pandemic, much of which was disbursed as direct payments to citizens, created the perfect storm for fraud.”

      “A combination of inadequate oversight and internal controls, large-scale organized fraud rings and antiquated data and information systems contributed to the massive, widespread fraud we saw during the pandemic.”

      “Agencies were unprepared for the fraud they encountered largely due to a lack of attention on fraud risks.”

      Unreal.

  17. “Manipulating Masses — Echoing Dreams and Fears”
    CODEMONKEYZ
    OCT 23, 2023

    EXCERPT: “In war, as in life, often there is an unseen enemy. It is not he who fires the gun nor he who commands the ships. No, this enemy resides in the shadows, unseen and unheard yet bearing an influence as great as a nation’s wealth. He is the manipulator of minds. The spinner of truths and falsehoods alike. He is a field operator of psyops – psychological operations.

    For those who take part in this distinct form of combat, understanding the target audience is of supreme importance. The pen, they say, is mightier than the sword – the fingers on a keyboard, then, are like fingers on a trigger. This is the kind of warfare the psyop deals in: information. To this end, the target audience is not one to be murdered, but one to be manipulated. To understand is to control. Know your target, and you may influence them as surely as a puppeteer working his strings.

    Psyop strategists see not nations or armies, but minds. They see group identities and individual ideologies. They discern values and encode messages. Their powers of perception are not physical, but psychological. They deal in what cannot be seen. They deal in what lies beneath the surface. They deal in the very essence of a person or a populace….”

  23. I just watched the tail end of an explanation from Fox about the different branches of Islam. Talking about ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, etc., etc. and how they differ but not ONCE do they mention the Muslim Brotherhood or their hundreds of off-shoots right here in the US!!! Trying to say only certain branches want to re-install the worldwide caliphate – not true!!! They ALL have that as their ultimate goal…and no mention of Turkey, either! SMDH

      Don’t buy into the big lie about legislative struggles. The open fighting in legislative matters is how the system is SUPPOSED to function. America’s founders knew tyranny results when no vigorous debate takes place in the open.

      That every House Democrat votes in lockstep is a dangerous sign.

      Secrecy is the ENEMY of freely operating, self- government.

      The Separation of Powers system was designed to prevent tyranny.

      Turning every legislative objective into an EMERGENCY beyond debate is a deceit to railroad an outcome.

      We have now lived so long WITHOUT open fighting in the House of Representatives, we have been brainwashed to believe such fighting is BAD.

  25. Nuthatches are weird….they are the only bird that can walk head-down down the side of a tree and they sleep upside down, apparently. I saw one hanging off of the empty bird feeder – the big one with the squirrel cage – I couldn’t tell what it was at first so I walked out to the window. Usually, birds will fly off either when the interior door opens or I get close – nothing, no movement whatsoever. So I opened the exterior door and stepped out – still no movement – when I walked up close to the feeder, it flew off. I was within 8 inches from it!!! I think it was truly asleep!

  26. Well now…that was interesting…Fox was interviewing a young American Jewish woman who was at the festival. At the end of her description of her journey – there was a video of Hamas randomly shooting at the porta-potty’s trying to kill anyone who was there and she had just used them a short time before – they asked her what she would recommend to young people who are only believing one article or Tweet they see on the internet. She said don’t just go to one news source. When Hemmer blatantly asked her to recommend one, she avoided mentioning any specific source. ROFLMAO – nice!!!

  27. Good Morning Pat and Filly! Pat – you sure find some creepy scary Halloween topics!

    I’ve never heard of either the GA or FL legends. Back in my day, kids at camp used to tell scary tale of Ro-day-don-dolio. I’ve forgotten how it goes. This was way before the Zombie craze.

    I’m home for a couple of days – maybe. I’m unloading the car and reorganizing the sewing stuff and taking out things I won’t need later in the week. Washing/soaking one set of wheelchair arm pad covers. It’s amazing how dirty a wheelchair can get – even used mostly indoors, what with eating and just daily use.

    We are listening out for when the medical staff can schedule the pacemaker for Sally’s Dad. I can drive him when I come and go to the Village. Looking forward to two nights in my own bed!

  28. EXCERPT: “…These people say: It’s fine if America allows the Muslims to settle — just as long as they don’t get settled in Israel! They don’t want the Muslims anywhere near them — but they’re fine with the Muslims living near you.

    Plenty of “American conservatives” have shown themselves lately to be simply agents for Israel — but the double-talk from the Left is even more obvious and much more dangerous. The internal contradictions of the Jewish liberal are best observed in the life and death of Samantha Woll — who was brutally murdered this week. She was a “social justice activist” who helped to start the Muslim-Jewish Forum of Detroit. She hosted Syrian refugees. She was a synagogue leader too — and she was just stabbed to death outside her home, in the city with the largest Muslim population outside the Middle East, in the middle of a war in Israel.

    So perhaps this terrible crime is not such a mystery. Meanwhile, the police in Detroit are doing what police do in every blue city when the motive for murder is obvious to everyone: they declare that the “motives are unclear.” You might think that it’s too early to say whether her murder was motivated by antisemitism. What we can say with certainty is that Detroit would never have had “the largest Muslim population outside the Middle East” if Democrats like Samantha Woll had not pushed the immigration of their enemies in the first place.

    In other words, you reap what you sow.

    I don’t know any American who wanted Detroit turned into a Muslim ghetto — so why did Samantha Woll want it that way? She lived in the fanciest section of that city, Lafayette Park, among the elite class of professors and bankers and lawyers and so, perhaps, she didn’t think the consequences of her own political beliefs would touch her personally. According to Detroit crime statistics, this was the first murder in that neighborhood in the last decade.

    I hope that Woll’s killer is caught and convicted for the sake of American society — but it’s not a tragedy when a werewolf supporter is killed by werewolves. We used to call this sort of thing: justice.”

  29. Sanders is funneling campaign cash to his stepson thru his wife’s “non profit”. garnering said stepson a 6-figure salary–to do what exactly??
    FTA
    Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) funneled tens of thousands of dollars from his campaign into his wife’s and stepson’s nonprofit last quarter, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings.

    Fox News Digital reported that the outlet found that the twice-failed Democratic Party presidential candidate transferred $75,000 from his campaign’s coffers to the Sanders Institute, a left-wing think tank that was founded by spouse Jane O’Meara Sanders and David Driscoll, the senator’s stepson, after his failed 2016 campaign.

    The money went to the group on August 8, according to its recently released FEC filings. The cash infusion follows $200,000 that Comrade Bernie’s committee sent to the Sanders Institute earlier this year, the outlet reported, adding that “the group has appeared to perform very little work while paying Driscoll six figures worth of compensation.”

    These people are so corrupt it’s insane.

    Bernie Sanders funnels $75,000 more from campaign coffers to his wife, stepson’s nonprofit https://t.co/AHpAZIjm8R #FoxNews

    — JohnGalt (@JohnJGaltrules) October 23, 2023

    “The facts present in this case and the family ties involved certainly raise legitimate concern,” Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust executive director Kendra Arnold told Fox News Digital earlier this year. “Obviously, a senator is not allowed to use his campaign to simply transfer large sums of money to family members – regardless of the route the dollars take.”

    “While on its face, the percentage the nonprofit paid out in salary alone is not necessarily problematic, legally the issue hinges on whether the salaries were paid for bona fide services at fair market value,” she said. “In other words, if the nonprofit and its executive director are truly producing work and actually earning the money, it is not illegal, but it is frowned upon. On the other hand, if nothing or very little is being done to earn the money legitimately, then it is highly likely a serious campaign finance violation has taken place.”

    “Our feeling is at our point in time, our country is at a crossroads and people are engaged in a political process that can be opaque,” Mrs. Sanders told the Washington Post in 2017 after the nonprofit’s launch.

She has a tiny little apartment and his food/water station was close to her kitchen table where she sat all the time – only a few feet away. When he came here, I put it near me here in the kitchen as well. I only moved him to my bedroom for my visitors from WA; when they left, I moved it back up here in the utility room but that wasn’t close enough for him. So I decided if he was going to bug me either way, then I’d put it in the back – at least there, I can close the door. So here we are…

  45. “A Prelude to War”
    CLANDESTINE
    OCT 23, 2023

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “I took a break from the psyops for the weekend. I sat back and observed from a distance while emotions settled. Here’s what I see:

    There is a massive propaganda campaign by Israel and their Western partners, seeking to garner public support for all out war in the Middle East. The Israeli government are running YouTube ads, Twitter/X ads, CBS roundtables with the Five Eyes Intel leaders, promoting Israel funding during football games. They are advertising war like a company would promote a product or an event. The American People are being targeted via PSYOP.

    At first I thought the propaganda was for public and political support to secure funding for Israel like we do to Ukraine, but this appears to be more severe. Israel appears like they want to drag the US directly into the conflict in the Middle East, because if they invade Gaza, and Hezzbollah gets involved, then Iran gets involved, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt… It’s gonna be a shitshow, thus Israel want the US to fight the conflict for them. Which is why I believe the American People are being so heavily targeted with pro-Israeli war propaganda.

    US involvement would significantly benefit the Biden regime as well. More war, more chaos, more opportunities to launder money to their deep state partners, more avenues of revenue for the war machine, immediate whitewash of the massive failure in Ukraine, etc.

    If the status quo remains, Trump is going to win 2024. WW3 might be their only option and they are running out of time. This appears to be a prelude to war.”

    1. i don’t know the veracity of the claim i read, but it said israel does not need our funding, they need our bodies…our troops…because this will cause an all out war. and if we extend ourselves there, we will be even more vulnerable at home.

      1. Add on the condition to which our military has sunk with all their woke nonsense and being way below recruitment goals…I have to say it: how many of the gay soldiers will break and run??? Something else that cannot be ignored…

        “The US have despatched the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower to the Persian Gulf amid these tensions reaching a critical point, and allegations surfaced of Iranian backed militants using drones to strike a US base in Syria. Furthermore, the USS Carney has allegedly intercepted a missile fired from Yemen by Iranian backed Houthi militants, indicating a co-ordination of attacks in recent days with Iran appearing to be the puppet master.

        But the most recent threat from Iran is the one that threatens to start a domino effect of geo-political instability and chaos in the markets in the worst case scenario, and that is the threat of blocking the Strait of Hormuz.

        This key shipping lane is located between the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, but the significance of this shipping lane is that it is responsible for the transportation of 30% of the worlds seaborne oil. Iran and America have been seizing oil tankers from each other in this stretch of water, but now the Iranians are threatening to close it all together.
        So why does this matter? To summarise, oil prices post pandemic are already elevated, at a near 5 year high after hitting over $110 a barrel in summer last year. Below we can see what the price is at the time of writing, which is at almost $92 a barrel.

        Oil prices as we can see from this chart has stayed high since 2022, with the largest spike being after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Russia, like Iran is a major oil producer, and are members of OPEC and OPEC+ alongside Iraq, the UAE and Kuwait. This is important to consider as Iran and its fellow middle eastern members all ship through the Strait of Hormuz….”

    Karine Jean-Pierre is asked if Joe Biden and his handlers are worried about the rise in *anti-Semitism* and she instantly jumps to defend Muslims:

    “Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks…”

    What on earth?!?

  48. “White House Assures Reporters Biden Will Be Very Concerned About Gaza Hostage Situation Once He Finds Out About It”
    U.S. · Oct 23, 2023 · BabylonBee.com

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — As the terrorist organization Hamas continues to hold multiple American hostages in Gaza, the White House assured the media President Biden will be gravely concerned about the situation as soon as he hears about it.

    “It will be his highest priority once he knows it’s happening,” said black and gay Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. “We’ve found it’s best to keep him out of the loop as much as possible, but as soon as we have no other choice but to tell him, he’s going to be very interested in what’s happening in Gaza.”

    Hamas has held Americans among its many hostages ever since its deadly attacks on Israeli villages and civilians on October 7th. Despite his remarks to the media multiple times since the attacks, Biden reportedly thinks he’s addressing something else entirely. “Listen up, folks,” Biden said in his most recent unintentional address on the subject, “I think there’s some stuff going on in that one place. Some folks are doing whatever to some other folks. And it needs to end right now! Got that! Now! No more! None of that…of that…no more of that…any of the…the stuff. Knock it off. Anyway…”

    Though the Biden administration has notified family members of the Americans being held, it has not yet notified the president himself. “He really just gets in the way,” Jean-Pierre said. “We prefer to tell him about things after they’re already resolved.”

    At publishing time, the White House called a “lid” and told the media President Biden would be spending the rest of the week back at the beach following his nap this afternoon.”

  49. “Husband And Wife Spend Romantic Evening Sending Each Other Memes”
    FAMILY · Oct 23, 2023 · BabylonBee.com

    MEMPHIS, TN — According to sources, a local couple has settled in for a romantic evening of sitting down next to each other and sending memes back and forth.

    “Aw yeah, she’s gonna love this one,” said Darren McCoy, husband and fine meme connoisseur while sending his wife that one meme of that sad dog at the pumpkin patch. “Grade-A romance, right here.”

    Darren’s wife Stefanie was happy to spend the evening swapping the memes with her husband they’d collected throughout the day. She told reporters sometimes it’s the only way they really communicate for days.

    “I feel like he really gets me,” Stefanie said. “Sometimes I wonder if we need to do more communicating and then he’ll send me the funniest thing and I just know we’re meant to be soulmates forever. I mean, that one with the Star Wars guys talking about how hard it is to get good WiFi on the Death Star? I feel so seen.”

    National data show couples that share at least 10 memes with each other a day have happier, longer, and more fulfilled relationships. Many couples throughout the country say daily meme-sharing helps keep things fresh, romantic, and spontaneous.

    At publishing time, the romantic mood between the couple was sadly killed after Stephanie McCoy sent her husband a cringey meme that stopped being funny years ago.”

  50. “Royal Caribbean’s “Icon Of The Seas” will be the largest cruise ship in the world when it sails January 2024. It can hold 10,000 people, is 5 times larger and heavier than the Titanic, is 20 deck floors tall with more than 40 bars/restaurants, bowling alleys and live music & circus performances.
    Honest to god, I would rather have my fingernails ripped out slowly by some moohajadeen towel-headed desert rat than go on a boat like that. Yikes, what a clusterfucking nightmare. Juss’ sayin’…”
