Beneath Borah High School in Boise, Idaho, a network of mysterious tunnels weaves through the dark underbelly of the campus. These hidden passageways, steeped in local legend, are said to have served purposes ranging from maintenance access to bomb shelters during the Cold War era. Whispered tales of secret hideouts, eerie echoes, and forgotten artifacts have long captured the imagination of students and urban explorers alike. What secrets lie in these shadowy corridors, sealed off yet alive in folklore?
The colony of Roanoke, founded in the late 16th century, vanished without a trace, leaving behind a cryptic clue carved into a tree: the word CROATOAN. When English settlers returned to the island years later, they found no sign of the inhabitants, only deserted homes and overgrown land. Theories abound—ranging from integration with Native tribes to devastating storms or even something more sinister. To this day, Roanoke remains one of history’s most haunting mysteries.
The legend of the Pumwa, the Nez Perce Witch Woman, lingers in the shadows of Idaho’s Snake and Salmon River canyons. Said to be the daughter of Coyote, she was banished to the wilderness for helping a witch and now uses storms, wildfires, and blizzards to lure people into her lair. Shapeshifting between an old woman, a young girl, or a black cougar, she preys on the lost and unwary. Modern encounters, from firefighters seeing silent figures or shadowy predators near blazing flames, blur the line between myth and reality. Would you follow the Pumwa’s call—or trust your instincts and run?

Now hanging in Thirsk Museum, far from reach, the chair remains a haunting reminder of its deadly reputation. Dare you believe?
