Rainbow Lake

Texas · United States · Manor

The area outside Waco has collected rumours of cult activity and prowlers, and residents backing onto it report shrieks at night and cold in high summer.

The Rainbow Lake area outside Waco, Texas has attracted rumours for years: witchcraft, cult activity and prowlers.

Householders whose properties back onto the area report figures, shrieking at night, and cold spots during the heat of summer.

Rumours have also circulated of a body found further upstream along Rainbow Creek, and of a male figure seen in the area.

Almost none of this is verifiable, and the mixture is worth noticing: the same stretch of ground has produced supernatural claims, criminal claims and one report of a real body, and locally they have merged into a single reputation.

What is likely underneath it is the ordinary problem of wooded creek land on the edge of a city, which attracts people who have nowhere else to be and generates a great deal of noise after dark. These are private properties and there is nothing to visit.
