Proctor Valley Road, nestled between Chula Vista and Jamil in San Diego County, California,

is a place rich and local folklore in urban legends.

This remote largely undeveloped road has become a focal point for ghost stories and mysterious creature sightings,

drawing the interest of paranormal enthusiasts.

The most famous tale linked to Proctor Valley Road is that of the Proctor Valley Monster.

This legend began in 1947 as a prank by two boys

Otto Rollin and John Eden

who grew up on dairy farms in the Bonita Sunnyside area.

While riding their horses they came across a distressed cow and helped deliver a stillborn

calf. Seizing the moment, they concocted a story about a monster that had

killed the calf. And to make their tale more believable, they use knives to make cuts on the calf and hung

it on a barbed-wired fence, creating tracks in the mud to mimic the creature's presence.

The boys would spread this story at local stores and schools

and it quickly captured the community's imagination.

And over time, the legend evolved,

with descriptions of the monster ranging from a bigfoot-like creature, standing seven feet tall and

covered in hair to a bizarre mutilated cow or even a silent female apparition.

Despite its origins as a prank, the Proctor Valley monster has become a lasting part of local folklore, with occasional

unconfirmed sightings keeping the legend alive.

And beyond the Monster

the Monster Proctor Valley Road is said to be haunted by ghostly apparitions.

There's one popular story involving a spectral woman in a blue or white dress who was seen walking along the roadside.
