THE HIDEOUS MELONHEADS

The history of Kirtland, Ohio is teeming with creepy stories of the Melon Heads. They are said to have very large heads, and are very ferocious. They supposedly kill and even devour those who happen to come into their neck of the woods.

A Dr. Crow is blamed for the mutation of these inhuman beings. The Government was said to have hired Dr. Crow to treat children afflicted with hydrocaphalus, a condition that causes large pockets of water to form in the brain. Crow had other ideas for his own kind of research. He added more water, treated them poorly, and used radiation on them. A lot of the children didn't survive and were buried in King Memorial Cemetery (see above photo).

Those that did had physical defects and were mentally disturbed. It went even further until they became uncontrollable and started relying on instinct. This caused them to eventually turn on Dr. Crow, they attacted him tearing him limb from limb and eating what was left. In the rumble a fire was started that burned the lab to the ground.

The Melon Heads made their way into the woods and now people tell of them looking out of the forest along the roads surrounding Kirtland. Animals have been found in the trees, torn apart and people have said to have been attacked by them.
