Some would argue that the scariest things in this world are those that don’t originate from it. Sure, we can prove that serial killers and kidnappers exist, but it’s the paranormal things that go bump in the night that really give us the shivers. When we can’t explain WHY something is happening or where it comes from, it raises the level of creepiness tenfold.
That’s exactly why this graveyard in Aurora, Texas, is so terrifying. UFOs are laughable to some, but the thought of there being even a shred of truth behind the legends is enough to keep the fear factor alive.
According to legend, a UFO came sailing down from the sky and crashed into a windmill somewhere in town.

When locals sifted through the debris, they found the body of a human pilot…and the remains of something far more sinister.

This is the original newspaper clipping detailing the incident.

The bodies of both man and creature were buried in the town cemetery, supposedly with a crude UFO drawing on the headstone to warn visitors.

Many paranormal enthusiasts have requested the bodies be exhumed, but the town continues to deny them.

Maybe it’s because the town officials know the story is a hoax, so they won’t even bother entertaining the efforts of believers. Or maybe it’s because they fear what might be discovered underneath the dirt…

So what do you think? Just another legend…or is there really an alien buried in this cemetery?
