Are there any good American myths and folktales besides John Henry and Johnny Appleseed?

Skinwalkers
Bigfoot
Mothman
Thunderbird
These are good. Also the “Horror’s Call” series from here. One of them is even about the Mothman vs. Bigfoot. Pic related is that book.
I prefer the Horus Heresy.
Good old fashioned Americana there.

TikTokers, please have a nice day, preferably in a TikTok challenge, or like that dumbass white boy that shot a bunch of Black folk at a basketball court with an Orbeez gun. His last words were, "It's just a prank, bro!" as a pack of Black person stomped on his skull.
Sorry, I mistook Rip Van Winkle for Dick Van Dyke. Don't worry, I'm killing myself now.
The frick is your problem with old men and time travel?
nice work exposing yourself as a tiktok user
>he hasn't read sketchbook of Geoffrey Crayon
My personal favorite is the Country Church
I don't understand why you hate Rip Van Winkle so much

Rip Van Winkle
The Long Black Veil, the Ghost Riders in the Sky. Joe Hill, although he was also a real guy.

I unironically think the USA today has some of the most active and intriguing myths and folklores in the modern world. The same schizoness that makes Americans so weird and religious (compared to western Euros) is also what provides us with a rich assortment of stories and beliefs
Mormonism
Marvin Heemeyer, the last American folk hero.
Unironically yes.

Brer Rabbit and Uncle Remus stories.
Are these good or just memes? I know Brer Rabbit has a statue but the town is so small that nobody cares.
Straight myths? Paul Bunyan and Pecos Bill come to mind. There are plenty of real life folk heroes as well: Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, Billy The Kidd, Wyatt Earp, Buffalo Bill, Andrew Jackson, Butch Cassidy, Wild Bill Hickok, Paul Revere, Molly Pitcher... Those are just ones I can think of off the top of my head.
Good myths.
The Jersey Devil

Johnny Appleseed
Isn't that the first one you think of too?
Johnny Appleseed isn't a myth, just mythical.
None whatsoever.
Here's a good one:
Liberty and Justice for all
i would argue that classic comic characters have transmogrified from corporate pablum into myths over the years
and then back into corporate pablum.
I would argue that this is literally not mythology
Economic mobility
John Henry was a big buff chad.
It's a shame he died after beating the train.
Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn or any Mark Twain literature
Oh and the holocaust
>the holocaust
That's german
