Melon Head legends show up in Michigan and Northeast Ohio too.
I grew up on the East Side of Bridgeport, CT and remember the Melonheads legend! As kids, we always related the Melonheads to the old abandoned factories and other buildings, (which we decided must have been institutions filled with the mysterious Melonheads. And we thought they were “large-headed geniuses).
I wrote a short story about it, and read it at a Spooky Stories event (in New Orleans) on Halloween one year.
