(Preference: the urban legend you two investigate)

(A/N: If these kinds of things scare you, please read with caution! Also, all descriptions are copied from articles I have found online and will link them below! ALL RIGHTS RESERVED TO THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE WRITERS!)

Adam Banks: The Glensheen Mansion! Said to be the site of one of Minnesota's most notorious homicides, where Elizabeth Congdon (the heiress who inherited the mansion) was found murdered in her bed and the body of her nurse was discovered on the grand staircase. A white lady, dressed in period clothes, is said to be wandering through the mansion after hours.

Charlie Conway: The Wendigo! A supernatural creature that prowls for human flesh to feast on in thick forests, the Wendigo is said to be up to 15 feet tall and too thin to be seen from the side. It has also been described as being covered in hair with glowing eyes, long fangs, and a snake-like tongue. If you view him head-on, you'll be met with horror.

Guy Germaine: Dead Man's Trail! It's said that a Native American woman's baby was lost, carried away by the swift-moving river. The woman cursed the "thief" river and visitors claim to have seen her apparition wandering the area, looking for her lost child. If you listen closely, you can hear her cries.

Greg Goldberg: Monster of Lake Pepin! Like Loch Ness in Scotland, Lake Pepin on the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin is said to house it's own monster of the deep. Pepie, as she's known to some, has been spotted swimming in lake for decades and is described to be a large, serpent-like creature.

Lester Averman: Phantom Pickup Truck of Grey Cloud Island! While Grey Cloud Island is said to be the home of many spooky manifestations, including ghostly coyotes and the spirit of Grey Cloud herself, the strangest haunting on the island is said to be a ghostly white pick-up truck reported to appear and chase strangers off the island. Some claim the truck is driverless, while others say it has an equally spooky driver.

Luis Mendoza: Aliens on State Highway 20! On August 26, 1979, Marshall County sheriff's deputy Val Johnson was on night patrol on a rural stretch of State Highway 20, when a ball of light appeared on the road ahead of him. Driving his car forward to investigate, suddenly the ball of light was inside the car with him and it attacked him, hitting him "like a 200-pound pillow." He woke up in a ditch a half-hour later with burns around his eyes, both his wristwatch and dashboard clock had slowed by 14 minutes, his windshield and one of his headlights smashed, and both of his car antennae were sharply bent out of shape. Police investigation reached no conclusions.

Dwayne Robertson: Bigfoot in St. Louis County! St. Louis County is said to have abundance of "squatches," or "Sasquatches," with its location having 6** documented encounters from 1973. As with most other Bigfoot encounters, the creatures usually shun humans, and sometimes try to scare them off with loud screams and breaking trees. On other occasions, they wander campsites at night and throw things around, perhaps in some kind of territorial display.
