Springfield, MO Legends
Breanne Wheeler
thought I might share them with you... There's this place out North of town
called the Albino Farm. It's a long legend I think parents made up to scare
kids away from going out there durring the night. Anyways, it's not just a
legend, it's true. The legend is, there's this farm up North of town, where
all these crazy Albino's live, recluse, never going outside the barn. At
night they come out and they try to scare drivers away from the road and
make them have accidents. Anyways, out by the Albino Farm, there's a
bridge. The legend about the bridge is that whenever you go across the
bridge and it's 12:00 Midnight, your car will stall and will stay there
unworking until either it's 1 O'clock or you push the car off the bridge.
One night I dared my friends to go out there, I was driving, and it was
my first time out there, so I was pretty much psyched about it. Anyways, I
had the window down and my two friends were in the back seat trying to freak
me out... My arm was hanging out the window and it was about 80 degrees out.
My friend Bethany had told me that once you get into the holler (yes,
holler) where the Farm is, it drops about 30 degrees. I went past the
dreaded stop sign that marks the end of civilazation and the begining of the
Albino Farm and the temperature dropped drastically. Now, my logical mind
says that since we're in the holler, it'll get cooler at the base than at
the bottom, but my other part of me knew something was up... All the hair on
my arms and the back of my neck stood straight up... We past the Albino Farm
and could have sworn we saw something in the shaddows... We progressed on...
We slowly inched our way past a graveyard, one of those spooky one's you'd
see in the Blair Witch Project... There standing in the middle of the
cemetary was this huge luming figure dressed in black... But his face was
stark white... I slammed on the accelerator and gunned the engine,
unknowingly going twoard the bridge of no return...
As soon as I got over the bridge, I knew something was going terribly
wrong with the car... it started sputtering and coughing, I looked at the
gas gauge, it was full... The temp gage checked out alright too, but the car
was dying none the less... Then the car stalled on the top of the bridge,
overlooking this scary, swampy stream below us... That was it for me, I
wasn't going to stay there until 1... I had the guy in the back get out and
push the car off the bridge and we hightaled it home....
Now that's no Urban Legend.

No, it sounds more like a made-up scary story. Where exactly is this Albino
Farm? Living within a few hours driving distance of Springfield, I wouldn't
mind checking it out myself.
What is the date this happened on? What are the names of your friends who
went with you?

Are you sure you DARE? Cf. Breanne's post in the "Halloween Cat

Springfield as a poor starving college student from 1975-1979, and there was an
"Albino Settlement" that was North of town.....It's been a long time since I
was there, but I do remember that you went out past Central Bible College to a
county road and turned north, and there was what looked like the migrant camps
we have here in Indiana. And, I did see 2 (that I recall) albino children out
in the common play area. It was a common, local legend.
As far as the hill she was talking about, I really think she's talking about
CBC hill, near the aforementioned Central Bible College...I heard a few things
when I was there, and took numerous drives over CBC hill but nothing out of the
ordinary happened.
West of Springfield, if memory serves correctly somewhere near Joplin, there
were rumored to be some "Ghost Lights" but I never saw them.
Hope someone, somewhere finds this helpful!!!!

That would be the Hornet Spook Light. There's one particular road outside
Joplin that you will see it on, but I've yet to locate said road. It is an
actual occurrence, since it was shown on TV, but as to what it actually is
is anyone's guess.

OK, let me try again... KOAM TV had a special story on it as part of their
newscast one Halloween several years ago. They showed the light which
appeared to be moving above the horizon. Dowe Quick, who is still with the
station, did the piece.
Now, that's not to say that this light can't be explained by natural means.
Theories as to what it is range from Indian spirits, to ball lightning, to
headlights from I-44. Personally, I bet that a more mundane scientific
explanation is more plausible than any supernatural theory.

to the Albino farm. For other Bostonians, the Albinos lived right off 128

Every December 24, Bob Turk, the Channel 13 weatherman in Baltimore,
reports a UFO with a red light at the front of it on his 11 pm weather
report.

Ok, I currently live in Springfield, MO, and I've lived my entire life
in southwest Missouri. All I need from you is specific directions to
the Albino house. You could also provide a specific address, because
if the house is within Greene county, it will have a farm road address
for E911. When the system was installed, all structures in the county
were assigned such nomenclature. I also know the country pretty well.
Do you know what the nearest highway is to the house?
I'll tell you right now that I doubt your story, but I could be
convinced by checking it out myself.

one hell of a terrible couple of days and I'm not really feeling up to
defending myself at this moment! What I KNOW is TRUE, and wether you
beleive that or not, then that's your own damn fault! And if you live in
Springfield, you're more than likely to already have HEARD about the Albino
Farm! Keep on going north on either Campbel or National and you'll go into
the holler, from there you'll know where you are... If you don't beleive me,
screw you guys! I beleive in what I hear and that may mean I'm gullible,

Sweetness, when the twist in your knickers becomes that agonizing, it's
time to set back and get a grip. We're not sure there's even a
Springfield, 'cept for that little airport that the silver-headed set
without drivers' locenses come into on the way to Branson. Don't expect
to wander in here, trumpeting some legend of ill repute, to be greeted
by much more than jeers and catcalls.

But seriously, Brea, I think you're taking things a little too
personally. There are few here as willing as myself to jump to the
defense of newbies who are being unfairly pounded by the locals, but
frankly I haven't seen anybody do that to you yet. (They will now,
of course.)
People interested in urban legends like to get details in reports
like yours so they can try to verify or debunk things on their own.
That's all part of the fun, and requesting such information isn't
any sort of personal attack, per se.

By definition, this is not lurking, this is *participating*. As for
the lurkers, well, they support me in e-mail.

Is that what your parents told you? My version of the Easter Bunny is
really different.

Bummer. Well, hereabouts folks are rather more sceptical about urban
legends. 'Specially legends of the Sleepy Holler variety, even if
they take place in Springfield, MO.

ObTWIAVBP: Contrary to what your experience leads you to believe, it is not
normal practice in most of the world to allow bullshit to propogate, or
refrain from at least attempting to educate the inexperienced becuse it
might hurt their feelings. "I can spout whatever I like, and you have no
right to counter it" might have a superficial attraction to a certain
sub-set of ignorati, but your power, fuel and 'Net access would be very
short-lived phenomena if it were not for a large group of people who accept,
and sometimes even take delight in being corrected when they are mistaken.
Feel free to carry out your `threat'. Would it help if I denied that you
would hurt us more by ignoring us completely and going elswhere?

That's the one in a cohabiting contract isn't it? Whereby if you want to

I will admit it was a bit unnerving the first time
an 85-year-old woman called me "Father", but
luckily none of them have referred to me as
Bishop Dimmick yet.
For the record, I am not ordained, despite what
many of the patients at the nursing home think.
