SLAUGHTERHOUSE CANYON

ORIGIN: Arizona.

The urban legend of Slaughterhouse Canyon, also known as Luana's Canyon, is a tale of despair, madness, and death that has haunted the state of Arizona for generations. 

Set in the 1800s, the story takes place near Kingman, Arizona, in a remote canyon where a poor family struggled to survive. 

The father would venture into the wilderness for days at a time to hunt for food, leaving his wife and children alone in their small, dilapidated cabin.

On one very harsh season, the father didn't return. 

Days turned into weeks, and the family was still left without food. 

Starvation ate at them, and the mother slowly descended into madness. 

As her children cried out from hunger, her desperation took a terrible turn.

The legend claims she murdered her children to end their suffering, mixing their cries with her own wails of agony. 

After realizing what she had done, she wandered the canyon in her bloodied dress trailing behind her, screaming, continuously without stopping, in grief until she too died.

Visitors to Slaughterhouse Canyon claim to hear the echoes of her cries carried by the wind, and some say they saw a ghost looking figure in a tattered dress.
