The story of Slaughterhouse Canyon (not pictured), also called the less-frightening Luana's Canyon, takes place during the Gold Rush. During the 1800s, there was a family who lived down in the canyon. They were very poor, so the father would venture out into the canyon for food, for his family. As you might have guessed, one day the father did not return, so his family slowly starved and descended into madness. The mother, unable to bear listening to her children's cries, put on her wedding dress, murdered her children and then threw them into a nearby river. The next day she succumbed to starvation herself.
The legend says that if you go down the Slaughterhouse Canyon at night, even now, you will hear the loud, anguished cries of the mother who lost her mind.
