THE GHOST VAN

Title: THE GHOST VAN OF 213

Horror-Comedy Screenplay

FADE IN:

EXT. CASCADE HIGHWAY 213 – RAINY NIGHT – 2010

Molalla, Oregon, sits in a region shaped by the Molalla (Molala) people, mountain forests, and settler fear. Its folklore mixes deep Indigenous myth, spirit‑saturated landscape, and later frontier conflict stories into one continuous haunted ecology.

Coyote, Grizzly, and the Birth of the Molalla

One key Molalla story begins long before the town: Coyote traveling to “make the world” and a powerful Grizzly Bear who tries to stop him.

• Grizzly challenges Coyote, demanding a fight. Coyote instead proposes a contest: swallowing red‑hot rocks. Grizzly gulps down the stones and burns his own heart out, while Coyote secretly swallows strawberries instead.

• After Grizzly dies, Coyote skins and cuts him up, scattering his body to the winds and declaring that from Grizzly’s heart a people will arise—the Molalla, “a nation of good hunters” who “will think all the time they are on the hunt.”​

Woodburn, Oregon once looked like a straightforward farm‑and‑outlet town, but its folklore leans surprisingly eerie. Old orchards, a Victorian manor, and dark rural roads all gather stories of watchful spirits and unsettled land.

The Haunted Orchards of Carl Road

On Carl Road, running past orchards and tree lines, people tell stories of being watched from the darkness. Drivers and pedestrians describe sudden cold gusts on warm nights, an anxious heavy feeling, and the sense that something is pacing them between the trees.​

Witnesses talk about pale figures peering from behind trunks or stepping just far enough out to be seen, then fading back into the dark. Some say the shapes copy their movements—matching steps, stopping when they stop—like territorial spirits patrolling their own ground.​

Kalapuya Spirits and “Territorial Land”

Albany, Oregon looks like a calm Willamette Valley town from the outside, but its folklore paints it as a compact little haunting ground. Old houses, country roads, and abandoned buildings all collect stories of ghosts, presences, and “something in the dark” that locals still talk about. This article gathers those tales into a simple guide to Albany’s weird folklore.

Haunted Historic Heart:

Albany’s historic core is a natural anchor for ghost stories. The most prominent is the Monteith House, one of the city’s oldest surviving buildings and a focal point for seasonal ghost tours like the Trolley of Terror and night walking tours. Visitors and guides alike describe uneasy feelings, unexplained creaks, and the sense of someone sharing the room with them when they linger in its dimly lit halls. The house embodies a classic “old pioneer home with ghosts” energy, and the city leans into it every October.

Beyond…

“Cursed ground” stories: In some tellings, the broader mid‑Valley (including the Salem area) is described as spiritually “thin,” where old curses, bad luck, and hauntings cluster more than elsewhere in Oregon.​

Local lore pegs historic Salem structures (theaters, government and heritage buildings) as haunted—phantom footsteps in empty hallways, doors slamming, and unseen “patrons” in balconies after closing.

Some of Salem's ghost stories explicitly tie apparitions or a general sense of dread back to the older Kalapuya goblin tales, as if Chuchonnyhoof’s presence lingers under the city.​

Urban Legends and Local Rumors

• Real bones in attractions: A recurring story says at least one Salem‑area haunted‑house/park once used a real human skeleton in its display; parents sometimes passed this around as a dare or warning.​

Here’s a simple, categorized snapshot of Mount Hood’s weirder folklore and legends.

1. Native Myths and Mountain Spirits

• Wyeast (Mt. Hood) as a person: In Indigenous stories, Mount Hood is Wyeast, a powerful being caught in a fiery love triangle with Pahto (Mt. Adams) and Loowit (Mt. St. Helens).

• Bridge of the Gods: Their fighting destroyed a great bridge over the Columbia, whose collapse formed the Columbia River Gorge and left the three transformed into mountains.

2. Silent Rock Curse

The Supreme Court Reaffirms Parental Rights

— and the Boundaries of Ideology in Schools

The recent Supreme Court decision rebuking California’s policy of teacher-enforced secrecy regarding student gender transitions has reignited one of the nation’s most emotionally charged debates: who ultimately holds authority over the upbringing of children — parents, educators, or the state?

It's the parents or legal guardians as it has always been. Just a shock that creepier California had a momentary lapse back to sanity.

Some public reactions frame parental awareness as inherently harmful which is again one of those moment you have to ask the question; what the fuck is wrong with these people who are already adults and where do they get off demanding they get to choose what is or isn't right for your family and children? Groomer pedophiles obviously.

Introduction

a handful of individuals wishing to remain anonymous asked if we could find a way to adopt and adapt strippers and belly dancers as part of the Druish philosophy and culture, recognizes that human artistic expression—including dance, sensual movement, and embodied performance—since such things have existed throughout human history as a means of celebration, storytelling, spirituality, and social bonding.

I can certainly understand the reasoning aside from the more obvious enjoyment of seeing attractive women who also enjoy such attention and also enjoy the performance. I can also understand it from the perspective of such things existing across many ancient cultures, where various forms of dance was intertwined with spirituality, ritual, fertility symbolism, and communal gatherings, but also which is often underappreciated, exercise and health.

Modern professions such as stripping and belly dancing can be viewed, in certain contexts, as contemporary expressions of these ancient performative traditions. It's also…

ANOTHER MORON TO CONFRONT

More stupidity and misrepresentation by authors that don't do their homework is proven all too clearly by such shit writing and little more than click bait crap. It needs to Stop!
