- And for a last suggestion, since they made refs to Rip Van Winkle, i hope stories other stories by Irving and other American tales could be considered if the show keeps going.

America folklore:

- I like Rip Van Winkle. Not sure how that would work in OUAT, but Storybrooke is after all, near Boston...

- Ichabod Crane (Colonel) and the Headless Horseman would be pretty cool. Somehow I see Ichabod as part of Victor Frankenstein story where the Headless Horseman is one of Victor's failed experiments in reanimating the dead...

- Paul Bunyan (and Babe the Blue Ox), the lumberjack - Described as a giant. Lives in NE America, Eastern Canada so not too far from Storybrooke. Cousin to Tiny?

- Captain Stormalong - originates from Massachusetts. A sailor and a Giant (with a giant sized ship) - Another cousin of Tiny?

- Pecos Bill, the cowboy of the southwest. Maybe mash up with an Oz story?

- John the Conqueror - African prince sold into slavery - a master trickster.

- Bigfoot/Sasquatch - Another cursed monster?

- Jackalope - Not sure what could be done this critter.

- The White Lady - Ghosts that haunts rural areas and small towns. Betrayed by a husband/fiancé.
