It screamed, it charged cars… and then it vanished back into the pines.If you’re into cryptid lore, American roadside legends, and the blurry line between prank and paranormal, this

The Wangunk called it Machimoodus - “the place of bad noises.” The Puritans blamed God. Later generations blamed witches, alchemists, and even buried gems glowing in the
