I like reading about the mythical monsters and creatures that supposedly lurk around such as Moth Man, The Jersey Devil, Bigfoot/skunk apes, the White River monster, Kentucky goblins, Beast of Bray Road, Loch Ness, La Lhorona, and not mention all the Japanese lore of the various Yokai.
My favorite though are Wendigo & Skinwalkers. Both of which scare the hell out of me but I still find them interesting. I went down a rabbit hole of learning a lot of both and watching a bunch of videos late at night about them several times Oh there is also something called a "Not Deer" which is sort of like a Wendigo I guess but a little different and that creeps me out but it's very interesting. There isn't much information about the Not-Deer though.
I guess all my favorite myths/legends are more to do with creepy creatures and beasts though that are rumored to be in certain areas and have a lot of local town lore behind them.
