Sometime in the1900s, a man known only as Charlie Noonan, traveled the United States, attempting to do what I want to do with this website. Noonan spoke to many people gathering local legends and cataloging them. During this time, he would take pictures of the strange anomalies he encountered.



When Charlie came across a farm in NorthWest Oklahoma, a man told him the legend that would soon make himself one. The rural farmer spoke of a woman. She stalked the fields, the plains, the farms of Oklahoma’s very own panhandle. She spoke to no one directly but could be heard whispering if people crossed her.



She appeared to be a small, elderly woman who hid her identity with a hooded cloak. She kept a large, gray, muscular dog with her at all times, presumably for her protection, but many thought she kept it for companionship, as she needed no protection.



No one with common sense would come close enough to harm the woman. Those who even saw her said she had a piercing glow in her eyes and was accompanied by the presence of darkness. A feeling of dread and unsettling would flood over the land near her.



People have speculated on what this woman may have been. Some say she was a demon. Others claim she may have been a which. Maybe even a native witch. Some think she could be what people have perceived as an angel in the past, but maybe she was a spirit inflicting punishment.



Charlie’s interest peaked and the man set off to the Oklahoma panhandle in search of the woman of mystery. With camera in hand, Noonan set out the farmhouse door, never to be seen again.



Years later, with no knowledge of where her husband was, Mrs. Noonan was sought out by a man from Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was a pawnbroker who had obtained a camera from a drifter who had found the device abandoned in a field. On the camera was the name Noonan. For whatever reason, the pawnshop owner took it upon himself to find the former owner of the camera.



The camera was then returned to Charlie’s wife. She had the one and only picture in the camera developed. That picture was of an old woman with a dog, a cloak, and the glowing eyes of something not of this existence.
