Here's another one.

The three way dream.

If you're asleep in bed, and you're having a dream that you're asleep in bed, and your dream-self is also dreaming that he/she is asleep in bed, then that will cause a portal to open up around your physical self. It's uncertain whether the portal leads to another dimension, or whether it's the gateway to hell, but either way it allows evil beings to surround you. You may become possessed or you may simply be engulfed in an evil aura that will cause terrible tragedies to happen to anyone you know.

That's why you rarely hear of anyone saying that they had a dream where they dreamt that they were asleep having a dream that they were asleep. To help you picture this confusing description, think of one of those mirrors where your image repeats itself to infinity.

So never have this dream or you will open that portal to evil.


Believe it or not I actually got this from a dream I had last night.

We could start a rumor that hackers have figured out a way to plant screamer faces and sounds in certain files on your computer,via myspace and facebook

Thanks Yorgmiester. You just gave me another idea for another urban legend.

Hackers have developed a computer virus that can actually infect humans as well. The virus creates an undetectable pattern to flash on the screen. This "code" is picked up by the eyes and is sent to the brain where it begins to reprogram the person to become ill. The more the person watches the screen the sicker he/she becomes.


Hmm... I hope I'm not giving anyone ideas with this one.

Here goes,

All of the books in the Americas bought in the last 24 hours are infested with microscopic parasites that travel through to human's hands and digs under their skin, into their veins, and travels into their heart and brain, therefore causing hallucinations and chest aches, as well as hives.

They are kind of a cross between fleas and scabies.

That's a good idea but i think some kind of phycological effect would be more believable.Such as,it would make you want to do something,or just make you go insane.Also the legend should say that this virus is planted on popular websites like myspace,facebook,,and google.That would freak ppl out,since they probably use those sites alot.

How about....

A woman came home from work one day to find her deaf husband dead on their bathroom floor, wearing hiking gear. Looking at the body she suddenly noticed something metallic wedged into the spikes of his climbing shoes.

She realized with horror that SHE HAD CAUSED HER OWN HUSBAND'S DEATH.

The metallic object was a pierced can of odorless, aerosol deodorant that she'd accidentally left on the floor near the tub that morning. The cleat on her husband's boot had pierced the can but he couldn't smell it because it was odorless and couldn't hear the hiss because he was deaf. By the time he realized something was wrong his entire respiratory system had shriveled and he suffocated.

I always like urban myths that involve death.

They're all good so far.



Hey, if it adds to the impact of the story then I have no problem with that.

thats a good one,thats somewhat beliveable.

A reply to ufo that wasnt stolen from anybody I made that up I just thought of it as i was going along maybe its the way it looks but dude thats my own work.

oh my bad

good job then

Thanks and np

Creating a mass panic is always fun lol.
How about a new Kind of microscopic bug or bacteria that grows on grass. Unknowingly, some dairy cows have been eating that grass and passing this bug into their milk. The bug can be a hybrid that is resistant to pasteurization and it has a taste of human flesh, not cow flesh. There is no way to test for the bug so everybody is at risk of infection if they eat that late night snack of cheese and crackers. It could infect all or some of our milk and dairy products. If you consume a small amount of infected milk, this bug will eat your brain from the inside out and cause the patient to become an aggressive zombie or something like that before death. This could also work for other products like cigarettes, the bugs could grow on the tobacco.

This could be applied to an animal myth. There could be a type of bug or leaf that grows wild. If an animal eats one, it becomes wild like rabies because of the toxin. The loving pet could become Cugo in an instant.
Thats all I can think of so far.

i totally started an urban legend that Hanson (that awful singing group) was going to be going to my local high school... (i was only about 15 when i did this) and 3 years later... don't you know someone said, hey did you hear Hanson is going to be going to our high school.....
maybe that is not an urban legend persey but it was fun starting the rumor.

lol,
so what did we decide was the best urban legend?

Okay, here it is . . . the ultimate urban legend . . . .

On November 3, 2008, one day before national elections, there will be a major terrorist attack on the United States. George W. Bush will suspend the election and declare himself president under an extended term until the crisis has ended. That crisis, of course, will continue as the federal investigation drags on. There will be multiple arrests of accused Al Quaeda members in several sections of the nation. The nation will be placed under martial law.

It is a conspiratorial plan that is already in the works since some National Guard units are already training for martial law maneuvers. All telephone calls and e-mails will be monitored and intercepted when containaing comments suggesting subversive intent. The color coded alerts will be reinstated. All military units and police will be placed on national alert. The possibility of a national draft will be announced.

thats good but.... we dont want to start a global catastrafy especially if we are gonna put it on a web site

The North American Union is considered to be an urban legend and it is on various websites and youtube. It carries some pretty heavy dangers and some people are panicked.

i vote this one, its believabl, yet has a monster, like most urban legends

we can make this one really scary if we try hard

MY own URBAN LEGEND!....whoa...can't believe I'm actually doing this but here goes!:


There was an anchient Vampire named Count Niccodemus who fell at the hand of a mortal,the vampire kind was dying out and so was Lord Niccodemus as a mortal named......_____*put name here*_____ had tried many times to kill Count Niccodemus but Nicco had nearly reached immortality as he had sucked so much blood from innocents eventually he also claimed there souls giving him more Life but UNKNOWINGLY transfered some of his own soul into them. Niccodemus was in a furious rage at the mortals for killing off a lot of his kind,so he bit count-less other mortals and purposly injected his own blood through the bite to turn them into vampires. Those mortals would eventually suspect eachother and would accuse/fight eachother and kill of there own....that was the plan for Nicco in a plan of sick revenge,at first it worked but then a mortal named ____*put name used above here*____ found out Nicco's plan so because Nicco was near-immortal and could heal in almost an instant the mortal gently injected part of his own soul and blood into the vampires bloodstream forcing a bond between the two,

then they both shared a half-life,eventually *nameless mortal* killed himself bringing Nicco down in the process,however dormant vampire genes of the other mortals Nicco had bit were passed down family lines,

somewere out there the vampire genes would awaken along with a tiny fragment of Nicco's soul,if they ever became one again it would be disaster,


especially since the second coming of Nicco was propheised......its only a matter of time.....



*END!*


LOL crap innit? too much soul/blood transferral but I wanted it to seem more legend-y rather then fiction-y (which I specilize in writing)

that was pretty good

NEWS FLASH The National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City is secretly removing tons of ancient Mayan texts from its inventory and placing them in a secret location. Many of the museum's more valuable items are also being removed and taken to a secret, but safer place.

Reliable sources say that some of the texts that had never been translated have now been analyzed and that they reveal exactly why the Mayan Calendar has a final date of December 23, 2012. That reason has not been revealed to the public but it is believed to deal with a global disaster that will find few survivors.

"They hope that by concealing these valuable items," said one museum representative who asked not to be identified, "so that perhaps some future generation will find them and know that civilization was well advanced at one period of human history."

Rumors around Mexico City say that the items were taken to a cave in Coahuila, Mexico that once was used to hide the official documents of the government during the time of the French occupation.

hear me out now also to tell u the truth if this was real id be more scared of this than anything about bigfoot or goerge bush
how about this?
theres a terrorist group known as the global depopulation league [u can change the name if u want] ther aim is to obviously decrease the population
and there making devices which are put under public toilet seats which basically when a weight is put on the toilet for more than10 seconds a large razorblade which if ur a man will castrate u [aka cut ur testicles off]
and there are now over 500 cases of this working all around america [or even the world] and that u should check any public toliet ur using by puching down the seat on a safe part
also the goverment is denying this to prevent a mass panic [this should explain why u havnt heard about it on the news]

thats good, very believeable

hmmm those were interesting, but i think im goin with little foot

The Cherokee around this area used to speak of a legend about a magnolia tree that they referred to as the Tree of Echoes.

The story goes that back in the 1600's a Cherokee man fell deeply in love with a woman from a neighboring settlement. Her father and brother did not approve of his advances towards her and thought that he was lazy as he spent most of his time staring off into the nearby creek and rapids.

One day he was out in the woods, traveling to his favorite gazing spot, when the two men appeared to him. They two chased him and once they caught him, they ended his life.

The villagers eventually noticed he was missing and began to search for him. They found his body lying on the ground, his blood staining the ground and a nearby, young magnolia tree.

In honor of his memory, the young woman took care of the magnolia, the site of his death, until she too passed away.

It was not until several years after her death that people began speaking of the magnolia tree and an odd occurance involving it. People would sit within its cage of limbs and leaves. Once the sun went down, they claimed that they could hear the voices of dead loved ones speaking to them.



I never heard the exact spot where the tree was supposed to be. The only real clue that anyone knows of, is that it is supposed to grow near the rushing waters of Sweetwater Creek.

what about a mass alien abduction (all people from the forum) that we give us some very special powers??? would be still be here after the experience???

A man living in Florida was testing his scuba gear, he jumped in to his pool after a few minutes a large non-native anaconda slithered into the pool, strangled the man. The man did not die, but instead he fell unconscious. The snake swallowed the still living man whole. His family saw the snake and the huge lump fearing for their safety they called the authorities, animal control came killed the snake and rescued the man, kept alive by his oxygen canister.

How is that?

Hmm, I'm not much of a writer but here goes...

1) A 19-yr-old fashion designer purchases a mannequin online. Two weeks later when it arrives, she is shocked to see how lifelike it is. Something about the eyes, seem to follow her wherever she moves. In the box, she notices a note. She picks it up and it reads: Please sell right away. Thinking nothing of it, she sets up the mannequin on a stand in her bedroom, puts on several outfits on it, takes pictures, and goes to the kitchen to get something to eat. She looks into the bedroom to look at the last outfit she had put on it and notices the mannequin was facing the doorway out into the kitchen. This was odd since she was using the wall as a backdrop and the mannequin's right side has always been facing the kitchen. She thinks nothing of it, eats dinner, and gets ready for bed.
She turns off the lights and is lying in the dark when she looks over and sees the outline of the mannequin. Is it facing the bed now? Did she move it? Or is she just paranoid? She stares at the mannequin for a couple minutes swearing to herself she can see it move closer. She's afraid to get up because the light switch is over by the bedroom door and she would have to pass the mannequin. She laughs at herself, closes her eyes, and goes to sleep.
A startling noise awakens her. She looks at the clock and it's 3:30 AM. She looks over at the mannequin. It's not there. It was at the foot of her bed! Staring at her. She jumps out of bed, turns on the light and looks around the room. The bedroom door is still locked. She stands there, watching the mannequin. So lifelike. She unlocks the door, slides the mannequin and stand into the living room, closes the door and locks it. She gets back in bed but can't sleep. She watches the door.
The next day she goes online to email the seller of the mannequin. She asks if anything weird has happened to her while the mannequin was in her possession.
The seller replies back:
"I am sorry. I am so sorry I had to do this to you. I had no other choice. Please. You cannot just get rid of it. It must switch ownership. Please do not contact me anymore. I will not accept it back. --J.S."
I don't know, I'll finish this later. I'm watching the Olympics. Be back later with a better one!

okay i have one , well actually my friends idea(with my own minor changes),

Well it all began one summer day when i was attacked by english muffins sent by the evil lord xenu that wanted to take my soul but i was lucky enough to be walking by bob barker, he defeated all the english muffins but then lord xenu scared him away with a bagel that him right in the kisser. when bob barker woke from his coma he decided to open up his own bagel shop with chuck norris. I now live in the bagel shop with two other people where we sing "oops i did it again" and tell scary stories in our pj's.

well not actually scary but maybe we can work around it....

Pure gold!

A woman is walking down a dark alley one night. Somthing in the darkness grabs her. She is knocked out, but discovers she is pregnant! She has been raped! (Intro pushes it into a dark atmosphere already)

9 months later she awakes in the night tofind a snake emerging from ... her. It hisses and snaps, blood trickling rom it's jaws (Gross out moment)

Driven insane, she locks herself in her house and raises the creature like a child (Disturbing/unsettling creep out moment)

Now, if you go into that house you will likely never escape, as the child and her now-corpse mother inhabit the place, vomiting worms into peoples face and eating their eyes. The only people who do escape emerge insane, with no eyes, maggots crawling in and out of them no arms or legs pulling themselves out with their tounges. (Yes I know it's sh*t )

microwaves can cause human combustion due to vast amounts of radiation, the radiation and heat combined with the natural methane gas produced by your intestines can cause you to combust.

Hmm...

A little girl, Madison, was sleeping on the floor of her mother's room because she became frightened of the heavy rain and lightning. Suddenly she was awoken by an intruder on top of her plunging a knife into her. She looks up and sees her mothers hand hanging off the edge of the bed. She reaches for it as she is stabbed repeatedly, desperately trying to wake her mother up. She dies thinking her mother didn't save her, not realizing her mother was already dead.

Gloria Ramirez felt this tug on her arm as she slept on the night of June 11th, 2008. She woke up and immediately heard someone inside her home. She locked her bedroom door and called the police. The intruder was arrested.

Jennifer Ryans felt this tug on August 9th, 2008. She felt a tug on her hand. She woke up and still felt the tugging. She looked over the edge of the bed expecting to find her dog, Bowser, but instead looked into the hollowed out eye sockets of a little girl. She disappeared as soon as Jennifer turned on the lights.

Now thats an Urban Legend.

This sounds like it could be a movie.

Wow, Now thats just Wierd.

That had to of been a really big snake.

ok now heres another one
Theres a man walking down the forest up in Kentucky and finds a small log cabin. Very curios on who would be living in this area full of wild bears and wolves.
Suddenly the man hears a yell from the house (of course it has to be when he was there?! Like always) he goes over and knocks on the door. After about 30
seconds a little girl opens the door and the man asked what happened and the girl says "nothing". So he asked if her parents were home and she closes the
door and and old woman comes to the door and asked what he wanted, so he said he heard a crash in the house and she said it was her pet. the man asked if she
needed any help and she said she needed a handful of wolf hair, a bears eye, and wolf bane. The man comes back with the items puzzled by why she needed these
thing he just thought about helping. The woman invites him inside and goes into the kitchen with him she then adds the ingredients into a cauldron and cast
a spell on him and he then turns into a wolf (not a lycan or werewolf but a wolf) and the man still roams those woods.

Hows that

Carnivorous bugs that look like garbage coming out of dumps. They've been eating rotting meat from the trash, but now have decided that they enjoy the taste of domesticated animals. Pets have been disappearing as far as 20 miles from these overloaded landfills. Is their territory expanding? Watch your trash, if it moves, burn it. Watch your pets closely...and your small children.

No offense but I don't think some of you guys quite understand what an urban legend is. It's not a ghost story. An urban legend is supposed to believable and sound like something that could really happen. Read some stories on snopes.com.

I think the story about the snake eating the scuba diver is the best.

I wish I could come up with something like that. xD

I think that would be hoax and not an urban legend.



Thanks!

My mom told me and my husband a story over lunch yesterday. Of course when my mom started out with, "your sister knows someone who knows someone...." my husband said, "this sounds like the beginings of an urban legend, but go ahead..."

My sister knows people who know someone who own a big snake, like a boa constrictor. They were so cuddly with this snake, like normal people are with dogs, they even slept with it at night. The snake stopped eating one day, and didn't eat for over a week, So they took the snake to the veterinarian. The vet asked, "does the snake sleep with you?" The people told him yes. And then the vet asked what position the snake sleeps in. The people answered that he sleeps all stretched out. The vet said, "you better get rid of your snake, he's getting ready to eat you."

Has anyone else heard this one before.

Let me think... Heres one.

On October 31st 2006 a woman was murdered in the street by a gang. Someone saw this and called the police. A man named Johnny Hancock was walking home after a night partying. He went into the street the woman lay dead and the police then pulled up next to him. He had her blood on him too, cause, being drunk, he went over to inspect the body. Naturally, they arrested him and he was locked up for 60 years before he escaped. Now the old coot wanders around america killing the police officers, judge and jury that had him locked up.

A FLYING ONE EYED ONE HORNED FLYING PRUPLE PEOPLE EATER!

lol jk. how about the story of El Diablo of Morroco

In 1977 a boy named Bob after was born in morroco. The family all decided on the name Bob because of the freedom in the u.s. and based off of Bob Hope. One day the family decided that the child needed a more free and oportune environment so they packed gear and headed toward the great United States. It took them years exploring different areas across there way there. Over seas and a several length the family finally reached america. Every child in the family pitched in to get young Bob money for Middle School, they succesfully reached the amount of money required. When Bob went to school the next month he was incredibly happy and thankful. But, every kid in the school made fun of his learning ability and his non-ability to speak english. So the child was asked by the principal of the school to politely ask his mother for permission to place him in special education. However, the boy couldn't speak english so the principal over heard his mother speaking english so she called her. When asking permission to she had a choice, over the time traveling to the states she learned english and sadly was infected with a fairly large virus that caused flesh eating. She only had money to pay for the operation for her virus or pay for her sons future. Being the good mother she was she payed for the special education class. The boy felt sad about the choice and started doing local jobs to help raise money to pay for the operation except for one night when he was outside selling lemonade out of the back of an old rusty radio flyer wagon when a strange bat creature with twice the wingspan of a regular chased him for blocks until finally the Bob couldnt run anymore. He was bit by the bat and then immediately got over it. To him it was a small pinprick, but meanwhile each of the boys had collected enough money to pay for the operation. The mother wanted Bob to stay by her side, seeing as him and his brothers were her only reason to live. Bob, sadly never came back and the mother refused to go into operation without all of her children. The next year at the beggining of the middle school year the bullies the messed with Bob never showed up, they had completely dissapeared and had no trace to them whatsoever. But the case has been resumed after the two boys corpses were found, somehow still fresh with human teeth marks and scratches on there bodies, Bob was found to but alive, and crazy he had huge fingernails that were hard as rock and small but sharp teeth, also he had large squinty orange eyes and was always smiling. After discovering about Bobs birthplace and with his description they deemed the boy "El Diablo of Morroco".
