Loading his revolver, he moved to his wife's bedside and shot her through the head.' It is the many myths and legends that make a place interesting. With the beautiful tales of nature's gifts, there exist stories of nature's wrath. There exist stories of spooky, haunted houses and of forests where ghosts dwell. There will be naysayers who will deny the existence of the paranormal, but it is the mystery of the unknown that attracts a traveller to a destination.
