THE HIDEOUS MELONHEADS

Tale from Justin V.

"The story I have heard is that Dr. Crow (possbly spelled Crowe; I have seen it both ways) practiced medicine out of his house in the early-to-mid-1800s. He had either been given the kids with mental problems of kidnapped them (again I have heard it both ways). He kept them locked away in cages in a green barn next to his house and injected their brains with water. A few of them escaped, and some say the barn burned down. Anyway, these Melon Heads still roam the area out near the Holden Arboretum (on Wisner Road, from what I have been told).

Supposedly, they come out only at night. If it is a full moon, they will attack any humans they see—however, they have a hard time seeing. If you wear dark clothes, you will be safe. But if you have on any bright colors or white, you are a prime target." -Justin V.
