Well here in Mass there is quite a bit of urban legends. But my two favorites would have to be The Bridgewater Triangle and Pukwudgies. I did get some of the descriptions from wikipedia since I figure they can describe it better then I can.
The Bridgewater Triangle - is an area of about 200 square miles within southeastern Massachusetts in the United States claimed to be a site of alleged paranormal phenomena, ranging from UFOs to poltergeists, orbs, balls of fire and other spectral phenomena, various bigfoot-like sightings, giant snakes and "thunderbirds."
Pukwudgies - And no pukwudgies are nowhere as cute look as they are on the show. In fact they are quite dangerous as they like to lure people with lights that often cause them to plummet to their death.
According to legend, Pukwudgies can appear and disappear at will, lure people to their deaths, use magic, launch poison arrows, and create fire.[2]
Native Americans believed that Pukwudgies were once friendly to humans, but then turned against them, and are best left alone. According to lore, a person who annoyed a Pukwudgie would be subject to nasty tricks by it, or subject to being followed by the Pukwudgie, who would cause trouble for them. They are known to kidnap people, push them off cliffs, attack their victims with short knives and spears, and to use sand to blind their victims.
