well a good friend of mine claims that there's a railroad somewhere around our town that a bus parked on and was hit by a train, and alot of the kids on that bus were killed, and he says if you park a car on the tracks and put it in nuetral the spirits of the children push your car off the tracks, he's heard thisfrom other people and claims to have tested this for himself, apparantly, and quite suprisingly, it worked for him.

but anyway, has anyone ever heard of this??
i'll try to get more info like what year this happened in or where it is.

he also said there were a few other hauntings but i don't remember them too well, i'll ask about those too.

I have heard of this story and I think its in Houston,TX. A friend of mine tried it and she put baby powder on the back of her car. She said the car cleared the tracks and when she looked at the back of her car there was little hand prints.

well the maybe my friend went ot texas for some reason, but honestly i have no idea where he said this was.
i would like to try this out or at least examine the area

My bad, its in San Antonio, TX. You can read about it here. http://paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa031201a.htm

Urban legend. You can find these all over the world and it has to do with gravity and optical illusions. We have one here in Mission as well. (British Columbia) and I know of at least three others in Ontario.

Spiderman: I've added you as a friend because I love your name - SPIDERMAN RULES!

The story is a myth - like LadyHay said, an illusion.

And now its .... "fingerprints" the movie, not enough to leave it as an urban legend is going to be / has been turned into a film

thanks for the info everyone it helps alot, but the version my friend told me isalot less creepy
im freaked out now lolz but yeah thanks again

are there any other well known legends like this that for some reason i don't know about? lol

lol .... you mean apart from

Alligators in the Sewers
Aren't You Glad You Didn't Turn on the Light?
Biscuits for Brains
The Celebrity and the Good Samaritan
The Choking Doberman
The Dead Cat in the Package
The Death of Little Mikey
The Fatal Hairdo
The Halloween Surprise
The Hook
The Kidney Thieves
The Missing Day in Time
The Neiman Marcus Cookie Recipe
The Poodle in the Microwave
Richard Gere and the Gerbil
The Stolen Granny

there are millions of em !!!!

I think he meant more like urban legends pertaining to ghosts/hauntings. For instance, the hitchhiker, crybaby bridge.

But Richard Gere and the gerbil... *shudder*

I watched the clip. i jumped...i am ashamed. As a horror enthusiast i shouldve seen that coming!

yeah, exactly, lol sorry i should've been more specific about that
but yeah urban legends pertaining to hauntings are exactly what i meant

i'd like to hear (or read in this case lol) about the hitchhiker & crybaby bridge, what are they?

Hehe, I knew you'd ask. The hitchiker is the story of a man who picks up a lady hitchiker on a cold, rainy night. She asks to be taken to either a home or a cemetery. If the story goes he takes her home, she leaves her sweater in his car and he returns to the house the next day to give it back. Father answers the door and says she has been dead for X number of years.

Second scenario at the cemetery, he stops and protests that she cannot go out there alone, she jumps out and runs into the cemetery. He follows and finds her sweater hanging over a tombstone that has her name on it.


Crybaby bridge is usually a local train bridge or other small span bridge that carries a rumor that a mother threw her infant over the bridge because of some heartache or other. The story usually goes that you can hear the baby crying.

I'm sorry. I don't do these justice. I'm not a very good story teller/relater. There is an urban legend section on this message board forum. Check it out for more!

i've heard something like the hitch hiker before, this man meets a woman and take her to this party or dance or something and she gives him her phone number and he calls the next night (or later that night) and her mom answers and said shes been dead for like 10 years or so (or maybe it was a year lol)

and that mother was mean she could've put the baby up for adoption, but are these stories based off something that actually happened or are they just those types of stories someone made up to get a scare out of someone??


that's okay im not a good storyteller either lol not that any people are if you think about it since stories vary from person to person

thanks for the add
i know Spider-Man is the best character ever!!

but i can understand (as ladyhay said) as to how it could be a trick of gravity (even though sometimes its said the car moves uphill)
but how could it be an optical illusion?? or even a regular illusion for that matter??

Spidey ....here in england there is a pub near me that is so weird that if you place a glass on the bar it moves uphill and a marble rolls up the wall ....its a natural optical illusion (in this case caused by subsidence) and there are thousands of them in nature

Agreed Theres stuff like this in almost every town near me. Not just railroad tracks, but streets that appear to be going downhill, but when you put it in neutral, you go uphill. Its not all that amazing.
