Lore

Melon Heads are creepy American urban legends from Michigan and Connecticut, small figures with hydrocephalic, melon-sized heads. Said to be escaped asylum patients, inbred families, or cursed children, they lurk in woods attacking intruders—cannibalistic and vengeful—fueling tales of rural horror and abandoned institutions.
