    Default Urban Legends

    Being so close to Haloween, I was wondering if you guys had any favorite urban legends you'd care to share???

    One of my faves:
    A young couple has to resort to a new babysitter as their regular was ill. The couple wasn't thrilled to find that the new girl appeared to be a hippie but they had reservations and she was highly recomended. A few hours into their lvely evening out, the mother called to check up on the babysitter and her infant. The sitter responded "Everything is great, I even put a turkey in the oven for you guys" Knowing she had no turkey in the house, the couple rushed home to find the sitter who was tripping on LSD had actually put the infant in the oven to bake....

    Got any good scary ones????

    Bride and Seek

    During a wedding reception of a young couple the guests decided on a drunken game of hide and seek. It was decided that the groom was "it" and he eventually found everyone but his new bride. Eventually the man became furious and decided it wasn't funny anymore and left her there. As weeks went by he accepted that she'd had second thoughts and went on with her life so he did the same. A few years later a cleaning lady dusted off an old trunk in the attic of the building where the reception had taken place, out of curiosity she opened it. Inside the trunk was the rotted body of the missing bride who'd apparently became locked in the trunk she'd hid in. Whether she'd suffocated or starved was unknown, but her face was frozen in a scream.


    The Keg
    A couple had just moved into a small castle they'd recently purchased and were excitedly searching all the nooks and crannies. In a large underground room they found many empty barrels that had been tapped years ago, and one that appeared to be full. They immediately tapped it to find that it contained a delicious brandy. They drank and served it at parties enjoying not only it's flavor, but that it could have been hundreds of years old. Months later when the barrel ran dry, they noticed it was still too heavy to be empty, they cut it open and found a shriveled corpse curled up in the barrel.
    - This one's especially interesting because sometimes bodies were shipped this way to preserve them for burial.


    The Body in the Bed
    A man and his wife were vacationing in Las Vegas and as they arrived in their room they found it was filled with an overpowering stench. They called the front desk to complain, and headed for the casinos for some late-night gambling while the problem was taken care of. When they returned to the room, the stench was replaced with the strong smell of chemical cleaners and deodorizers, annoyed but satisfied that it was better than before they went to bed. Early in the morning the smell had returned so strongly that it awakened them, the man called the manager and angrily demanded another room immediately. While his wife packed up their stuff the man ripped the sheets off the bed, where the smell seemed to be coming from. He found that the mattress had been cut open and a well-dressed corpse had been shoved inside. The couple were given a complimentary suite and free passes to the shows.

    Yuck. I'm not supposed to say this because I heard it from a police dispatcher in a town next to mine, but that really happened, except the mom was the one who put the baby in the microwave. She was fried on meth & wanted to keep her baby warm.

    That's an icky urban legend. I've seen & heard of enough true-life horror stories. How 'bout the guy who committed suicide by standing in front of a corn chopper-harvester? The police had to haul the whole load of chopped corn out of the field to pick him out of the feed.....(My dad had a chance to see the carnage but he passed, saying he didn't want bad images in his head.)

    Broiled Diver

    Fire Authorities in California found a corpse in a burnt out section of forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire. The body was dressed in a full wetsuit, complete with a dive tank, flippers and face mask.

    An autopsy revealed that the diver did not die from burns, but from massive internal injuries. Investigators then set about determining how a fully clad diver ended up in the middle of a forest fire. They found that, on the day of the fire, the person went for a diving trip off the coast - some 25 MILES away from the forest.

    The firefighters, seeking to control the fire as quickly as possible, called in helicopters with very large buckets. The buckets were dropped into the ocean for rapid filling, then flown to the forest fire and emptied. The diver was scooped out of the ocean, into the bucket and dropped over the fire.

    Apparently, he extinguished exactly 1.78m (5'10") of the fire.

    I am ashamed to admit that for about 2 1/2 hours back in 1997, I believed the Tale of the Kidney Thieves. What a gullible chump!

    *hangs head dejectedly*


    This guy who lived next door to Amy (my girlfriend) went out last Saturday night to a party. He was having a good time, had a couple of beers and some girl seemed to like him and invited him to go to another party. He quickly agreed and decided to go along with her. She took him to a party in some apartment and they continued to drink, and even got involved with some other drugs (unknown which). The next thing he knew, he woke up completely naked in a bathtub filled with ice. He was still feeling the effects of the drugs, but looked around to see he was alone.

    He looked down at his chest, which had "CALL 911 OR YOU WILL DIE" written on it in lipstick. He saw a phone was on a stand next to the tub, so he picked it up and dialed. He explained to the EMS operator what the situation was and that he didn't know where he was, what he took, or why he was really calling. She advised him to get out of the tub. He did, and she asked him to look himself over in the mirror. He did, and appeared normal, so she told him to check his back. He did, only to find two 9 inch slits on his lower back. She told him to get back in the tub immediately, and they sent a rescue team over.

    Apparently, after being examined, he found out more of what had happened. His kidneys were stolen. They are worth 10,000 dollars each on the black market. (I was unaware this even existed). Several guesses are in order: The second party was a sham, the people involved had to be at least medical students, and it was not just recreational drugs he was given.

    Regardless, he is currently in the hospital on life support, awaiting a spare kidney.
