Urban legends ( those little horror stories )

Tell me some.

Some that are passed around your neighbourhood these days.

Some that you remember being passed around.

Something that has happened to a friend of a friend of yours...

Feed my evil needs...

My mother taught me how to roll my eyes up in the back of my head, so I looked like a zombie. She had me keep doin\' it, then one day, she told me my eyes could get stuck in the back of my head doin\' that. I didn\'t believe her, so one day we are walkin\' and there is this guy with his eye screwed up, and she pointed to him and said "see, he done it one to many times and now he can\'t see and his eyes are like that forever..", mind you I was little, so I was scared to death.

Also, she use to let me watch horror movies when I was around five or six and then tell me how they was real and they lived in our TV and when I went to bed they was goin\' to come and kill me. It would take me forever to fall asleep and when I did, she would sneak outside and scrape on my window like Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street. Or sit all my stuffed animals up and make it like they was staring at me while I was asleep, after I would watch Childs Play (the movie with Chucky, the demented doll). From this day, I am still scared of stuffed animals.

Before I could read, she would hold papers up and tell me I was adopted and if I didn\'t take out the trash or do something, that she would give me back,etc. I\'d scream and beg not to be given back to these "parents" I didn\'t even know.

Sometimes she would pretend she was dead and lay in the floor when I was little. I\'d get scared and start crying, then she would let me know she was alive. She did it once and I decided she was lying so I took a broom and hit her in the face with it. ... She never played dead again.


That is about all the urabn legends I have and they aren\'t even really urban legends.

I dunno if you can really call it an Urban Legend, but we do have a local monster. In a town called Cherubusco about 20 miles from here, there\'s said to be a giant snapping turtle in the lake. I guess a bunch of farmers were finding deer carcasses sheered in half by the water\'s edge and there\'ve been some sightings. There\'s a story about how a few guys actually caught the "Beast" but couldn\'t even get it hauled into shore with two 4wheel drive Ford pickups.

Every year Cherubusco has an annual festival called "Turtle Days" to commerarate the monster.

well i got one, it all started as a joke, we had a big rec (grassland with football pitch, kids play thing etc, one side as very baddly light, what we would do is when it got dark tell the little kids about the apple man, late at night he would stand up in the corner with loadsa apples. we would start waling up there then we would all of a sudden jump on the floor and scream( we would be a little ahead so the could just about see us)...it would scream the crap out of them.

but one day i was walking my mates dog with him about 30 mins away from the nearest house, it hard to explain where it was but on the way we went to this place where there was only two ways in we went in the first place and everything was normal, then it was getting darker as we went to walk up the other path to get out we turned round and there was a women with all apples, a bit away from us we walked fast up the path, not turning round. when we got to the top of the path she was just to the left of it(still abit off, but it was her) but there is no way she could of got there b4 us as you had to go a long way round and back on yourself, to get there, and there is no way you could of beat us, any way we ran home very fast!!!

there are others too, i saw a ghost once, where i used to live u could always see people who where coming round (but had no neighbours or any one near as i live on a boat) then i saw white flash past the window, i thought it was my bro coming in but he never turned up

Lol, if that\'s true then you have a very mean mother!

One day, at UGA, a rumor went around stating that Brittney Spears would be attending our University next year.

Well, I guess that\'s more of a horror story.

I\'m from Guam and our island is shaped like a boot. Well, it is said that some gigantic fish came one day and bit off a big piece of the island, thus creating a boot-shaped island.

That sucked.

There is a park I live near and me and my friends always ride our bikes on the trail and stuff. Well anywayz there was this supid rumor that said a guy lived deep in the woods named old man pickle(dont ask why he was named that). Well I thought it was funny how all these people said they saw his house. So I ask my best friend(who didn\'t believe it either) if he wanted to go check it out. Some guy told us if we followed his map we would find it. So there we are walking in the woods 30% humidity and 100* outside. Well we\'re talking about how stupid these people are that are believing this stuff and in the distance we could see a small old cabin. This made us very suprised, but since we were skeptic, we said "Oh its probably a old shaft that nobody uses." Man were we wrong. We walked up to the house and he dared me to crack open the door and check it out. I see a old man sitting in ragedy clothes trying to start a fire. I was thinking "HOLY SH1T!!!" I get Danny(my best friend to check it out with me and guess what? This geezer with missing teeth turns around and starts screaming and cussing like a hurt drunk! We saw him pick up a spear looking thing and we ran like a scared little girls! The ****ing lunatic chased us for about 20 yards yelling. We went to my dad and he called the police and as it turned out the guy was living there illegaly and he was arrested and hauled off to jail.



That was probably the wierdest day of my life. I know it sounds like a Blair Witch kinda fable but man this is true!

Vivi\'s story reminds me of the time I went to the basement of my dorm to do laundry and this man (possibly in mid 20\'s) was sleeping on the floor.  I didn\'t care, but later on someone complained.  The GR went down and asked him what room he was in.  He told my GR that he lived in room 324.  It\'s a funny thing, of all 9 floors, not one has a 24th room.  The numbers skip from 23 to 25.  (I think there are no 42\'s either.)  Of all the nubers he could pick, and he picked the one that doesn\'t exist!
