In May 1901, newspapers from San Francisco to Washington, D.C. ran a chilling story. Miss Ramie Arland, the belle of Marble Falls, said a hairy, man-like "bear king" carried her off to a cave in the Moon Mountains. She escaped while it slept, and local men supposedly tracked the creature down and shot it.

The body was never found. Neither were the Moon Mountains. Nobody around Marble Falls has ever heard of them, and the Arland family left no trace in local records. 👀

The real twist is that black bears did once roam the Hill Country, and they're slowly making their way back. Confirmed sightings have already turned up in Kimble and Menard counties.

The Bear King is the strangest of three Texas legends we're investigating this Halloween. Read the full story to see what's really behind the chupacabra and East Texas Bigfoot. 🔦

For generations, deer hunters in the Pineywoods have told stories about the Woolly Bo**er, a huge, hairy creature that walks upright through the river bottoms between Palestine and Crockett. 👣

Then, in 2025, a large, dark, furry animal really did start roaming the Neches River bottoms. It was a young black bear, the first documented black bear to spend the winter in East Texas in more than 50 years. By spring it had been sighted more than 55 times, and a game camera near Palestine caught it knocking over a deer feeder. Picture it standing on its hind legs at dusk in the pines, and it's easy to see how a legend gets started.

Black bears are a threatened species in Texas. If one finds your feeder, report it to your county wildlife biologist or game warden.

Bigfoot's neighbor is one of three Texas legends we're investigating this Halloween. Read the full story to learn what's really behind the chupacabra and the "bear king" of Marble Falls.

In 2007, something was killing chickens near Cuero. When rancher Phylis Canion found a strange, hairless, blue-gray carcass near her place, the Texas chupacabra legend was born.

DNA testing told a less supernatural story. It was a coyote with sarcoptic mange, a mite infestation that strips away fur, turns the hide leathery and gray, and leaves the face swollen into a permanent snarl. A sick, hungry coyote stops chasing rabbits and starts raiding the coop.

If a "chupacabra" shows up on your game camera, take it seriously. Mange can spread to ranch dogs, and your poultry may need tighter pens at night.

The chupacabra is only the first of three Texas legends we're investigating this month.

You don’t usually see them. But they’re there.

As temperatures rise around Austin, scorpion activity starts to pick up, especially at night. Most people only notice them by accident, but where they show up (and when) isn’t random.

We broke down what’s actually happening, where they hide, when they’re active, and what to know if you run into one.

If you’ve spent time outside in Texas at night, you’ve probably had that moment. You flip on a porch light, step onto a patio, or walk into the garage, and...
