lyra_wing posted Coeur d'coeurs, a story about Sam&Dean retiring from hunting to move into The Pie Hole from Pushing Daisies. WHICH IS AWESOME ENOUGH IN AND OF ITSELF, LET ME TELL YOU. I have such a baking kink that it's not even funny.

But the title made me think of Coeur d'Alene, which is right next to the little town I grew up in, Post Falls. And that brought me back to my perpetual sulk that I wasn't in fandom back when

spn_50states was going on. Because northern Idaho? Has so many local legends that more places are considered haunted than not.

And, well, that took me to Google and sites of awesomeness like Idaho Hauntings: Idaho's Paranormal Resource, Idaho's Haunted Hotspots, & Idaho Ghost Sightings. Seriously, I am dying here because I keep imagining the Ghostfacers typing all of this up.

But now I really want to combine my love for the area & the ridiculously elaborate folklore. There are some fantastic stories about Tubbs Hill (which I first heard while camping out on Tubbs Hill, which definitely didn't hurt the creepy factor), and just a few blocks away is the Bates Motel, which has always been considered haunted anyway and is just the sort of run-down place the boys would stay at.

I'M GOING TO FIC, AREN'T I.
