A dirt road located 7 miles north of McCook on East 11th Street leads to what locals have named Devil’s Canyon. Its story is old and sad: Over 100 years ago a man is said to have killed his wife and kids here, then killed himself. Nicknamed The Duke, his ghost is said to be a shadowy figure who plays tricks on passersby and causes mechanical objects to malfunction.

There is a legend that satanic worship and witch craft of black magic happened up there that there is a cave like hole in the canyon that maybe a source of the evil that has happened
I’ve camped out there in the cave. Nothing happened. Years later the man made dug out “cave” has eroded away.
was asking my wife who is a life long resident of the area . I did not tell her anything I just mentioned the name. as I was reading the story she said there was a road where she does not care for because she had problems with her car. mind you she said it wile I was reading the description. very creepy to me
