State Secrets: Nebraska – Gas & Food
.
Of all the benign things on this list, this one is the most benign and the most helpful.
The situation is always the same: Someone is traveling across Nebraska on a lonely stretch of road and they really need some gas or food or directions or all three. There, up ahead, they see a tiny gas station with a small neon sign saying “Gas & Food”.
The place always looks at least 30 years old and often out of place in the middle of nowhere, but no customer ever thinks about that for too long. They get their gas and maybe a bite and they are on their way. If they were to turn and go back after a mile or two, they would find the station gone.
During the day, Gas & Food will be open and manned by an older fellow named Ted. The small sandwich counter will be manned by his wife, Ellen. After about 9:00 at night, you will always get there when they were “just about to close”. If it’s really late or very early in the morning, only Ted will be there “working late on my old pickup”. There will be a sandwich or two in the fridge that he’ll sell for half price.
This phenomenon has been encountered all over Nebraska, most often by non-natives. Encounters go back to around 1948.

State Secrets: Nevada – You Bet Your Life
.
Out in Nevada, always near a larger town or city, you might encounter a young woman who start talking to you first about little things, then about what it is you want from life. After a while, she will tell you about a club she knows of where you can win your hearts desire. The longer you listen to her, the more convincing she is.
Do not go with her. She’s a vampire. There is no betting club and all you’ll win is a painful death as she rips open your throat and drains your body dry of blood. Most likely, your remains will be found months or years later out in the desert.
The SXU has been tracking this woman for 30 years, but she stays one step ahead of them. Only about 10 people have escaped from her and few of them remember much about her. It is suspected that she only feeds once every month or two. She also does not seem to like birds of any kind.
Be vigilant when traveling through the Silver State.
