What are your favorite urban legends?

[Tangled Web]

Whether it be music, Disney, movies or Coca Cola, I think urban legends are kind of fun and sometimes scary. I've been on Snopes.com and checking them out.

My favorite would have to be the one about the Disney worker who got fired on his first day for pretending to do character voices in a Disney porno.

 

[Kool-Aid]

I like the Bloody Merry one and we have a local one about a lady in white.

 

[Bat Attack]

snopes.com is a great urban legend site. My fave is the myth about Pop Rocks and Coke, and the clown that looked like a statue but was actually a midget living in someones house.

Bloody Mary and the Babysitter story.

 

[The Shape]

Bloody Mary and the Babysitter story.

Yesssss.

 

[TRUE]

Bloody mary is Bull*****, my fav one is the killer in the backseat and the one dealing with the lady who put her dog in the microwave.

 

[cryptic name]

i like the babysitter stories mainly because of its importance in pop culture (halloween anyone?)
i'm also fond of the vegas prostitute stealing kidneys, and a local legend about a place called gravity hill.

I never tried Bloody Mary, nor will I ever try it. The story itself creeps me out to the point of never wanting to try it.

However, there was this one girl I knew in Germany who tried it. This is a true story now, but whatever happened she ran out of that bathroom looking like Michael Jackson.

When I say Michael Jackson I literally mean it looked like she lost all the color in her face. There was a whole Bloody Mary phase happening in the school at the time, so this particular girl went into the bathroom and we heard her say it too. But she just burst out of the bathroom and was literally pale like a ghost.

I'm not saying she actually saw Bloody Mary. But whatever she saw scared to the point of literally almost knocking down the bathroom door.

It might be a different place with the same name, but I've heard alot of stories about gravity hill

One of my favorite urban legends is the axe murderer who dresses up as an old lady and tries to hitch a ride with women in parking lots. The clown statue is great too

Walt Disney is frozen. That one takes the cake.

 

[Majik1387]

Calling out a ghost in a mirror in the dark or with a lit red candle.

The one about black people having extra calf muscles....

 

[JLBats]

The one about the woman screaming in the Ohio Player's song "Love Rollercoaster".

 

[Palpadious]

I remember one about an old lady who lived alone and only had a dog for company. At night she would let the dog lick her hand to give her comfort. One night, she thinks she hears a someone breaking in, but is relieved that her dog has licked her hand. She opens her eyes a second later and sees her dog mutilated, and realises an intruder was licking her hand that night. It goes something like that, I haven't heard in in a while.

 

[Barbossa]

When I was about 9 or 10 me and my family used to go camping alot. When we were sitting outside the tent with the gas-light on my dad would always ask me, in a strange eerie farmer voice, "Have you ever heard the story, of the ooolllddd crooked barn?...." Now, with the light shining up onto his face, the voice he used and the fact that I was only 9 or 10, I used to be so frickin' scared of it. He never did finish the story though. Bastard

I remember that story from the movie Campfire Tales, except instead of an old lady, it's a teenage girl and the intruder/stalker is from the internet.

To me, the joy of that legend was that, in one version, she sees the man in the mirror and has to stay quiet so that he doesn't realise she saw him, and he just keeps licking away.

That makes it way better

I always liked the one about the lady driving home who has a car following her that always flashes his highbeams, and then it turns out he was only illuminating a killer who was hiding in her backseat. I checked the car everytime I got into it for ages

 

[Hades]

A teenage boy drove his date to a dark and deserted Lovers' Lane for a make-out session. After turning on the radio for mood music, he leaned over and began kissing the girl.

A short while later, the music suddenly stopped and an announcer's voice came on, warning in an urgent tone that a convicted murderer had just escaped from the state insane asylum — which happened to be located not far from Lovers' Lane — and that anyone who noticed a strange man lurking about with a hook in place of his right hand should immediately report his whereabouts to the police.

The girl became frightened and asked to be taken home. The boy, feeling bold, locked all the doors instead and, assuring his date they would be safe, attempted to kiss her again. She became frantic and pushed him away, insisting that they leave.
Relenting, the boy peevishly jerked the car into gear and spun its wheels as he pulled out of the parking space.

When they arrived at the girl's house she got out of the car, and, reaching to close the door, began to scream uncontrollably. The boy ran to her side to see what was wrong and there, dangling from the door handle, was a bloody hook.

You could have made the best joke ever by just slightly altering that.
