its gotta be as believable as possible, maybe a ghost story, or a demon, or monster, or something like that

Here's an idea, we could claim vampire bats have migrated to the US from South America. We could even get someone to video some normal bats(blurry of course) as evidence. Then we could claim they have been attacking livestock and even humans. It would be more believable than a ghost or demon to me. grin2.gif

The film of Armstrong and Aldrin walking on the moon is actually footage of aliens that leaked to the public,so the government covered by saying it was the first men on the moon,and designing our space-suits and lunar modules to look like the alien's.

Here's my contribution . . . .

Howard Pace lives in New York City and has always been interested in the possibility of reincarnation. His interest finally led him to contact a professional hypnotist to try to do an age regression that he hoped would establish a prior life.

Under hypnosis, Howard said that he had lived in Tennessee in 1792 and had a farm there. He said that his farm bordered on the Big Sandry River and that his name was Cyrus Hempstead.

Howard continued to tell of how one day in the fall of 1792, he went on his wagon headed for a nearby settlement when he was attacked and killed by Indians. They threw his body onto the grass beside the road and took the wagon and horses with them as they fled. Howard described under hypnosis that wild animals came and fed upon his flesh before relatives came looking for him. He was buried at that site . . . a large curve in the dirt road . . . . a curve caused by a giant oak tree . . . and at that point the hypnotist awoke him.

Filled with a new curiosity, Howard Pace traveled to Tennessee and checked the census records for the area along the Big Sandy River. Finally, he found the name Cyrus Hempstead and located the property that Cyrus had owned. He asked for permission to enter the property and soon found a winding dirt road. At one point he discovered a wide turn around a huge oak tree and he started to search around for a signal of a grave.

Under some under brush Howard found the remains of a crude wooden cross. It had no name but he was certain of what he had found. He left and returned the next day with a shovel. After hours of digging, Howard Pace discovered the remains of his own body from a previous life. He touched the bones and was at last convinced that yes, there is something more after death.

We can also claim that a man was clinically dead for several minutes and returned to life. He was interviewed by researchers about the experience and they asked if he saw the traditional tunnel with the bright light.

He reluctantly replied, "Yes."

The researchers were pleased since it confirmed so many other reports.

"But you don't understand," said the man.

"What? What don't we understand?" asked the experts.

"The tunnel . . . it doesn't lead to heaven. It's the tunnel out of the womb with the bright light coming from the delivery room lights. I was being reborn again!"

that is the best one so far, after about a day or so ill let everyone choose

this one is the most believeable, a woman gets left in the woods and comes back years later saying she was made to make a baby with bigfoot looking creature, but got away. and the baby now looks for his mother and who isnt its mother it kills.

when we get the good stories we will each contribute to it, kinda like my story thread

I don't think that all urban legends are scary. I remember the one of the woman driver who offered to give a man a push when his car wouldn't start. He told her that he had an automatic transmission and they would have to go 45 miles an hour for the car to start. He was confused when she drove away without helping him but then saw that she had gone around the block and was coming straight toward him at 45 miles an hour. Not scary . . . a little funny but not scary.

Considering that, let us deal with Alice Templeton who has lived at the white marble mansion at the edge of town. Her father was very successful in his business dealings and the family enjoyed all the luxuries of life. But then, about four years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Templeton were killed in a yachting accident and Alice and her older brother and sister were left alone. Ronald and Susan, her siblings, joined her in her mourning.

There was a reading of the will soon after and it was discovered that Mr. Templeton had left his entire fortune and properties to Alice. He made the intent of his bequeath very clear. "Because Alice has a severe problem with her heart, there is the distinct possibility that she will need money in the future for her medical care. Recognizing the seriousness of her health problem, we ask that she prepare a will and leave all our properties and funds to her siblings after her death."

Alice had been on the list for heart donors for years and each year she seemed to deteriorate a little more. But after her parents death, she tried to live a normal life and entered the university to study. It was there that she met Raul Vazquez, a foreign student in the same program that she studied. He was kind and understanding and Alice enjoyed being with him. When weeks passed and he started to show a more serious interest in her, however, she took him to a park where they sat on a bench while she revealed the problem of her health. "I don't know how much longer I have to live," she confessed. "Any minute . . . y'know?"

Raul nodded and took her hand. "That one minute would be my eternity," he told her. "I love you and whatever time we have, let it be lived in love."

Alice was never so happy but not long after she suffered a setback and was hospitalized. Raul sat at her bedside constantly and it annoyed Ronald and Susan very much. On one occasion when Raul had left the room, they confronted Alice.

"Alice, you haven't prepared the will like Dad asked. Now we don't want to be cold or cruel but we are concerned that you might want to leave something to Raul. You can't do that. That's not what Dad had in mind, do you understand?"

Alice was hurt and disappointed but nodded as Raul returned.

In the days that followed, her condition worsened and then one day when she awoke, Raul was gone. She waited for him all day but he did not return. At last, late in the afternoon, he called and said that he had read in the newspaper that there had been an auto accident in a nearby city. He had gone to talk to the family of a man who had died in the accident to ask them to donate his heart. The widow said that her husband's heart was also weak and to donate it would not be a good idea. Raul said that he was investigating other opportunities and for Alice not to worry . . . he loved her and was doing everything possible to help.

"So where is your great boyfriend now?" asked Ronald that evening. "When you need him most he runs out on you?"

"You can't really be serious about this guy," chimed Susan. "My God, Alice, he's from some poverty stricken place in Latin America! You think you have anything in common with him?"

Alice did not respond but only turned on her side away from both of them.

Three days later Raul had not returned and the attacks of Ronald and Susan continued. Susan brought a copy of a will for Alice to sign but it rested on the bedside table as Alice remained silent.

That evening Alice felt uncomfortable and experienced some chest pains. The doctors rushed to her room and monitored each vital sign. At last one announced to Ronald and Susan that the end was near. Susan called for the family attorney to come to convince Alice to sign the will.

It was shortly before two in the morning when the group of doctors returned with a sense of urgency. Some had been called from their beds at home and were pulling on their white coats.

"Is she?" asked Susan, "you know . . . is she . . ."

The doctor smiled. "Not at all. We have a heart. We're going to the operating room."

It was one day short of a week later that the same doctor announced that Alice would have a normal life. She would probably live another 50 or 60 years and the timing of the donated heart was nothing short of a miracle.
Alice waited for Raul to call to tell him the good news and was confused that Ronald and Susan did not visit as regularly as before.

She had returned home to the mansion when the doctor came for one of her periodic examinations. He nodded with satisfaction as he checked each signal of her heart's function.

"I think you're strong enough now," he said at last. "I have something for you."

He handed her an envelope.

"My darling Alice,

I don't want you to be angry with me for what I have done. I had no choice.

You would have always had my heart anyway, so this is no different.

I love you always.

Raul"

The doctor looked toward the floor. "They found two notes beside the body, Alice," he said. "One note said to rush his heart to you and this is the other. He called 911 just before he did it. A pistol. He didn't want to damage the heart, the bullet went into his head."

Once you've all decided on one, how are you gonna spread it? I'll put it on my urban legends website if you want.

I like the one about the light being the delivery room lights and being reborn. What I find interesting about that one is, if someone is reborn as soon as they die, what happens after being revived, if the sould goes back to the original body, does that leave the new little baby without a soul?

I don't think that all urban legends are scary. I remember the one of the woman driver who offered to give a man a push when his car wouldn't start. He told her that he had an automatic transmission and they would have to go 45 miles an hour for the car to start. He was confused when she drove away without helping him but then saw that she had gone around the block and was coming straight toward him at 45 miles an hour. Not scary . . . a little funny but not scary.

Considering that, let us deal with Alice Templeton who has lived at the white marble mansion at the edge of town. Her father was very successful in his business dealings and the family enjoyed all the luxuries of life. But then, about four years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Templeton were killed in a yachting accident and Alice and her older brother and sister were left alone. Ronald and Susan, her siblings, joined her in her mourning.

There was a reading of the will soon after and it was discovered that Mr. Templeton had left his entire fortune and properties to Alice. He made the intent of his bequeath very clear. "Because Alice has a severe problem with her heart, there is the distinct possibility that she will need money in the future for her medical care. Recognizing the seriousness of her health problem, we ask that she prepare a will and leave all our properties and funds to her siblings after her death."

Alice had been on the list for heart donors for years and each year she seemed to deteriorate a little more. But after her parents death, she tried to live a normal life and entered the university to study. It was there that she met Raul Vazquez, a foreign student in the same program that she studied. He was kind and understanding and Alice enjoyed being with him. When weeks passed and he started to show a more serious interest in her, however, she took him to a park where they sat on a bench while she revealed the problem of her health. "I don't know how much longer I have to live," she confessed. "Any minute . . . y'know?"

Raul nodded and took her hand. "That one minute would be my eternity," he told her. "I love you and whatever time we have, let it be lived in love."

Alice was never so happy but not long after she suffered a setback and was hospitalized. Raul sat at her bedside constantly and it annoyed Ronald and Susan very much. On one occasion when Raul had left the room, they confronted Alice.

"Alice, you haven't prepared the will like Dad asked. Now we don't want to be cold or cruel but we are concerned that you might want to leave something to Raul. You can't do that. That's not what Dad had in mind, do you understand?"

Alice was hurt and disappointed but nodded as Raul returned.

In the days that followed, her condition worsened and then one day when she awoke, Raul was gone. She waited for him all day but he did not return. At last, late in the afternoon, he called and said that he had read in the newspaper that there had been an auto accident in a nearby city. He had gone to talk to the family of a man who had died in the accident to ask them to donate his heart. The widow said that her husband's heart was also weak and to donate it would not be a good idea. Raul said that he was investigating other opportunities and for Alice not to worry . . . he loved her and was doing everything possible to help.

"So where is your great boyfriend now?" asked Ronald that evening. "When you need him most he runs out on you?"

"You can't really be serious about this guy," chimed Susan. "My God, Alice, he's from some poverty stricken place in Latin America! You think you have anything in common with him?"

Alice did not respond but only turned on her side away from both of them.

Three days later Raul had not returned and the attacks of Ronald and Susan continued. Susan brought a copy of a will for Alice to sign but it rested on the bedside table as Alice remained silent.

That evening Alice felt uncomfortable and experienced some chest pains. The doctors rushed to her room and monitored each vital sign. At last one announced to Ronald and Susan that the end was near. Susan called for the family attorney to come to convince Alice to sign the will.

It was shortly before two in the morning when the group of doctors returned with a sense of urgency. Some had been called from their beds at home and were pulling on their white coats.

"Is she?" asked Susan, "you know . . . is she . . ."

The doctor smiled. "Not at all. We have a heart. We're going to the operating room."

It was one day short of a week later that the same doctor announced that Alice would have a normal life. She would probably live another 50 or 60 years and the timing of the donated heart was nothing short of a miracle.
Alice waited for Raul to call to tell him the good news and was confused that Ronald and Susan did not visit as regularly as before.

She had returned home to the mansion when the doctor came for one of her periodic examinations. He nodded with satisfaction as he checked each signal of her heart's function.

"I think you're strong enough now," he said at last. "I have something for you."

He handed her an envelope.

"My darling Alice,

I don't want you to be angry with me for what I have done. I had no choice.

You would have always had my heart anyway, so this is no different.

I love you always.

Raul"

The doctor looked toward the floor. "They found two notes beside the body, Alice," he said. "One note said to rush his heart to you and this is the other. He called 911 just before he did it. A pistol. He didn't want to damage the heart, the bullet went into his head."

omg thats not really an urban legend but a love story,if you made that you might want to look into writing books.

Here's an urban legend for ya.

There was a grumpy old man who had lived all alone for years. His neighbors understood that because of his age he had a difficult time trying to do even the simplest tasks by himself. But the old man had such a bad demeanor he would run off anyone who tried to help him.

The old man had made it a habit of taking a stroll around the block every afternoon. One day, as he was leaving for his walk, he slipped off his porch and injured his back. After going through hours of surgery and a week's stay in the hospital the old man was returned to his home. Because he would be bed ridden for a long time a nurse had been assigned to visit him daily. However, the grouchy old man didn't want any company and eventually the nurse stopped showing up.

After a few weeks had gone by his neighbors became concerned that they had not seen the old man leave his house, so they called for help. When the paramedics entered the old man's bedroom they found him lying dead on the bed. At first, they assumed that he had died in his sleep. But when they rolled his body over they were horrified to see that the back side of his body from his head all the way down to his feet had been eaten away.

It turned out that, because the old man had never been able to keep his house clean, while he was unable to get out of bed the bed bugs had eaten him alive.

How's that?

Hadeth rushed into the room with his friends as he usually did but this day was no oridnary day, the boys were playing truth or dare......Hadeth went third. James turned to Hadeth and he said "Go up to the first person you see and ask them to give you something to eat, Hadeth agreeded and so he went. He found a man in a dark trench coat and asked him "Sir can you give me something to eat" as he said this he looked at the man's eyes they were red, but not to look like a chicken he stayed there. The man pulled out a baked cooked resembeling a cacoon and he gave it to Hadeth. Hadeth swalloed it right away and him and his friends went home, his friends asked "What did you eat" Hadeth staired at them and said "Im not sure but i dont feel so good. Jimmy another of Hadeth's friends put his ear to his stomach thinking it would be funny he made a grave mistake.........He touched his stomach with his ear and heard "Click" He jumped back and told them what he heard he did it again and it was more intense "CLICK......CLICK" as he heard the last click "BOOM" his ear was torn off as a tiny beast exploded through Hadeth's stomach the boys were so frightended they fainted. When they awoke later the floor was covered with blood and on the walls 666 in blood......and to this day each year on the day of Hadeth's death one of the boy's goes insane or dies and it about that time of year again......
