Though the town of Portal, NE, has no recorded history of a mass killing, an urban legend alleges it was the site of a gruesome act. The legend says a schoolteacher went mad in the early 1900s and killed all her students. According to some accounts, she decapitated the pupils and placed their heads on top of their desks. The regretful teacher cut out the children's hearts and threw them into a nearby river.
The schoolhouse was relocated to Papillion, where it now functions as a historical building. However, some claim those who stand in the middle of the bridge where the teacher discarded the children's hearts can still hear them beating.
