State Secrets: New Hampshire – The Real Old Man Of The Mountain
.
Until it collapsed in 2003, the Old Man of the Mountain was a very famous rock formation on Cannon Mountain in New Hampshire. It looked very much like the profile of a man, hence the name.
The formation no longer exists, but the real Old Man of the Mountain is still around. Of course, he’s been around a long time and almost nobody knows he exists, but he’s there.
Technically, he should be called the Old Man of the Mountains, since he seems to live all over that part of New Hampshire. Cannon Mountain is sort of the center of his range, but he has been seen 50 miles away from there more than once.
It’s a pretty safe bet that the Old Man is not human, although he could be a mutant. Sightings of him go back to 1830, when a logging crew reported seeing a “large man wearing what looked like a moose hide” walking along a ridge.
Seldom seen more than about once every 20 years or so, the Old Man always looks the same: around 8 feet tall, long dark hair and bears, lightly tanned white skin, muscular build and wearing hides or furs. Sometimes he carries a spear or club, but one time he had a large buck deer thrown over his shoulders.
If he sees you, the Old Man will watch you for a minute, then spit on the ground and walk away quickly. Nobody has ever managed to get a clear photo of him.

State Secrets: New Jersey – Joey Comeback
.
It’s pretty safe to say that New Jersey has it’s share of criminal activity. It’s also safe to say that sometimes, certain criminals make mistakes that cause other criminals to terminate them. But so far, only the Garden State has had one of these criminals come back, again and again and again.
Legend has it that in 1959, Joey Cavelli was a young up and comer in the Jersey City mob. He would do anything asked of him if it would help build his reputation and move him up the ranks. He was young, cocky and brash. He was also quite the lady’s man.
And that’s what got him bumped off and his body dumped in an alley in Paterson. See, Joey was not only doing the girlfriend of one capo, he was doing the daughter of another. This was a profound and fatal no-no.
So Joey gets areal nice funeral, lots of women cry and a month later he’s nearly forgotten. But a month after that, Joey walks into a bar and shoots the two guys that plugged him. Bam bam, gets each of them right in the head before two other guys shot him a total of 9 times, then put three in his head.
Bosses are informed what happened and the body is cut up and dumped in about 6 places, including the ocean and a construction site in Manhattan. Everyone agrees it wasn’t really Joey, but some relative or friend. Well, the guys that killed him and the guys who disposed of him didn’t agree, but they kept quiet.
Then six months later, Joey kicks in the door to the home one of the capos that had him killed the first time and let’s him have both barrels of a shotgun. Twice. Guards put maybe 20 rounds in Joey, bosses are consulted and his body is burned to ash in a crematorium. The ashes are then soaked with holy water and mixed with concrete. Finally, the blob of hardened concrete is taken 30miles into the ocean and dropped.
Joey killed the other capo and seven guards four months later. After he got killed again, his body was dissolved in acid.
Although he comes back less frequently, Joey does come back. He’s always fully corporeal, heavily armed and never misses who he aims at. He always gets killed soon afterward.
Joey never appears outside New Jersey and seems to favor the northern third of the state. He is one of the top three “Must Catch” anomalies on the SXU Big List.
