Weird Idaho

Those traveling through Owyhee County can take comfort in knowing they are not alone.  Owyhee County, which consists of the southwest corner of the state, is home to many unique legends, not the least of which are the spectral horses said to appear in times of need. Acording to legend, if you ever find yourself lost and alone in the wilds of Owyhee you should look to the sky.  There it is said a white stallion, with a mane of wispy clouds and hooves like thunder, will part the clouds and descend to the horizon, followed by a surging herd of ghostly pale horses.  The stallion will lead the herd across the sky, and the traveler need only follow to be led back to safety.

Ten miles south of Lewiston, Idaho lays the beautiful shores of Lake Waha.  Now a poplar fishing spot, Lake Waha holds a special significance to the local Nex Perce tribe, who once used it as the setting of 'spirit quests' for their young men.  But this isolated lake holds a more ominous secret; the ghost of the Indian Maiden, who walks the lake's shores. According to legend a young woman went out to forage for food with her baby strapped to a cradleboard, as was customary.  She dug for roots along the shores of Lake Waha, and as the day became hot she stopped to rest and refresh herself and her child in the cool waters of the lake.  That was the last the woman was heard from. The next day her family searched the lake shore for her, but all they found was the cradleboard, now empty, and the woman's buckskin dress.  Afraid a creature in the lake had seized her, they kept away from the waters. Earlier, the lake had taken another victim.  Legend...

In the small south Idaho town of Sugar City, the ghost of a young boy supposedly repeats his final moments over and over on the Beaver Dick Bridge. According to legend, in the early 1970s a group of teenage boys were proving their courage on this small bridge, daring each other to jump down into the chilled waters below.  One boy took up this dare, ad leaped head first into the water.  He surfaced without incident and returned to his friends, who were impressed but alarmed by his actions.  Determined to prove himself the boy jumped again, and this time nothing surfaced. Without even bubbles the teenagers ran to get help, and the waters were searched, but no body was ever recovered. If you to the bridge in the twilight, or on nights of dense fog, you can see the pale figure of a teenage boy run from the center line to the railing and jump.

In Boise, Idaho the Egyptian Theater is a unique and beautiful landmark, and one with a eerie secret.  A former projectionist is said to roam the building, frightening employees and filmgoers alike. When it opened in 1927 after the discovery of King Tut's tomb it was a beautiful movie palace of Egyptian Revival design, one of the few remaining buildings from this brief architectural period.  It is still an operational theater and is beautifully maintained, with its detailing and original pipe organ intact. The ghost of the Egyptian Theater is suspected to be a man named Joe, a projectionist who worked at the theater from nearly its opening to his death in 1954, when he suffered a heart attack climbing the steps to the projection booth.  His spirit is said to stay on, and visitors and employees of the theater report him operating doors and light switches in the empty building, and the occasional disembodied voice and icy touch.
