Carol, I know how it is. All these cases are so hard to recall. You listed it here:

141125Has anyone ever heard of these case

but few comments.

phillipklass mentioned it here, but few comments.

142718UFO - Turn On Edge/ Side

But I did, to a resounding silence. I think because I went skeptical on it, it shut the discussion down. mea culpa

141138Has anyone ever heard of these case

I hope someone picks up and discusses this some more.

Well...it is. BTW...places like that all over the world where more than one type of paranormal or weird event happens on a regular basis.
Window areas...hot spots...mystical areas....whatever you want to call them. John Keel wrote about this as well as Vallee and commented that the names of the places often had interesting names indicating their history: like Devils Hill, Hobgoblin lane, Fairyport, Ghost Shadow canyon...etc.
In this case it's named after the French explorer.

"In 1609 Samuel de Champlain wrote that he saw a lake monster five feet (1.5 m) long, as thick as a man's thigh, with silver-gray scales a dagger could not penetrate. The alleged monster had 2.5 feet (0.76 m) jaws with sharp and dangerous teeth. Indians claimed to have seen similar monsters 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3.0 m). This mysterious creature is likely the original Lake Champlain monster.[18] The monster still receives considerable attention, as indicated by the name (Vermont Lake Monsters) and mascot (Champ) of the state's minor league baseball team[19] and a Vermont Historical Society publication, which also offers several mundane explanations for the so-called monster: "floating logs, schools of large sturgeons diving in a row, or flocks of black birds flying close to the water."[20]

And theres the Devils Hopyard,thats not far from me,and some teenagers a few years ago woke up a minister well after midnight that they had been parking out to the Devils Hopyard and were frightend half to death.Let me see if I can find that story.

nope all I found is a picture of the falls.

[ChrisPerridas]

spooky place. don't forget all thos Rhode island and eastern CT vampires either.

Here is the Hopyard:

In 1919, the former State Park and Forest Commission obtained an 860 acre parcel located in the Millington section of Haddam off Mount Parnassus Road. The principle feature of the park, Chapman Falls drops more than sixty feet over a series of steps in a Scotland Schist stone formation. The falls also once powered “Beebe’s Mills” which were named after the original owner. The mills operated until the mid 1890’s.

Native Americans claimed that this 860-acre area, which features the Chapman Falls of the Eight Mile River, was home to God. Puritan settlers thought the the wild land was more likely a home for the devil and gave it its present name.

It is supposedly named for the large, smooth “potholes” that can be found in the bedrock beside the rushing water of Chapman Falls.

One legend: the Devil was on a leisurely stroll through Eightmile River when he reached Chapman Falls and accidentally got his tail all wet. Apparently, the Devil hated getting wet (just like house cats) and proceeded to furiously stomp and “hop” his way down the waterfalls, literally burning potholes in the rock beneath his feet as he threw a demonic temper tantrum.

Another: Another legend spins a tale of a guy named Dibble, who once raised hops for his Satan and Malt Brew. Many young men, whose wives would later be saying "he's got the devil in him," would come home at night tipsy from a night of drinking at Dibble's Hopyard.

Another: In 1999, 4 men camped out beneath the falls. One claimed to have seen a "red demon" sitting on the bridge. Another claimed that he was thrown into a tree by a demon and got slashes in his pants.

Apparently it is filled with Hemlock trees which would scare the daylights out of you in any event. Weird grasping, clawing roots.

that was a good read Chris,thank you.

Not exactly what I was looking for but....
America's Most Mysterious Places - Articles | Travel + Leisure

the ones that Keel , Vallee , and others have mentioned are more geographical locations like Stonehenge, sacred mountains like Shasta in California, the San Luis Valley area in Colorado, etc where people and ancient tribes have reported paranormal events for centuries. Many of these places acquire weird names that indicate their paranormal status.
Some towns even acquire these names like Fayette which can refer to the fay or fairies though the term also can mean 'pact'.

Keel used to like to play around with place names and the names of witnesses who had sightings and experiences. For instance:
Mr Kirk might have a sighting in Johnsonville and he would investigate and the next day Keel would here of a similar sighting by a Mr Johnson in Kirkville. He often thought the 'ufo entities' were having a bit of fun. These things happened to him often over the course of his investigations especially during the Mothman years.

Keel was an interesting man,someone should do a movie all about him.
