Make up a good urban legend and let others rate it on a scale of 1-10.


Have Fun

How can you really create an urban legend? I suppose someone could create a piece of fiction that could potentially resemble the truth, but it still wouldn't be an urban legend.

One of the joys of urban legends is that they've been spiced up and changed by the joys of oral tradition.

How about the idea of 100,000 packs of Marlboro Reds being laced with LSD. Of course it isn't true... At least I hope not.

I've talked about this one before... The Urban Drop Bear

Urban Legend Post



And received about 3? 4? PM/Emails that this was true! lol

ok ill try to make one up:

this kid lived in a house , he found voodoo dolls in his back yard and heard wierd noises at night. 2 years later they moved to another house,
and there was this closet, that would open every time by itself , but he thought it was the wind, and he was in his room and he was watching tv, a STRONG wind started there and the doors slam shut and others open, and the window was clsoed... then he dreamed of a demon watching him, while he wa in this church, and it was gargoyle looking like, for a week straight, and then he met a friend, with same experiences. One day the friend said " remember that gargoyle? im it "
the boy started laughing , and said " NO im REALLY IT " adn he transformed into the garogly looking demon and said " i wil lwatch you and after you die you will tkae my place so i can rest in peace...

i just got it form my head , some factsare true like the closet and the windy part and me dreaming of it , but i never met a friend with same experiences and i havent turned into a gargoyle...yet....

OK i'll bite so to speak! How about this possibility?

A businessman was recently walking along the street in an area of town (insert town name here) known for derelicts and intravenous drug users (insert bad part of town here) when he felt a mosquito having a meal on his right arm, quickly swatting the annoying creature he continued along his way without giving it a second thought.
Several months past by and the man went to his doctor with symptoms of influenza. After much testing the Doctor reported that he had contracted a deadly disease (west Nile, HIV, flesh eating disease, or make one up) after ruling out all possible causes it was determined that the offending blood sucking mosquito had bitten an infected street person and past on the virus to the man.

doesnt sound like an legend...could happen... more liek a real life base story...

Thats what makes an urban ledgend, Plausible fear

yups good try nice story

"the inch that never stopped inching" more to come later. i will actually take this thread seriously since i feel like im a good writer and could come up with something so give me a week or so.

i remember watching a movie about something like that. a guy was like attacked by a demon and he was told by the demon not to tell anyone what happened or the demon would kill him. the guy ended up marrying this black girl and they have a boy and girl. years later after hes an artist and always draws pictures of the demon but hides them from his wife. so one day she finds them and asks him what it is. so he finally decides to tell her the story and while hes telling her she starts screaming and what do you know she turns out to be the demond and ends up killing him and the kids like break out of their human skin and are demons too. very scary.

ooohh, nope i got my story from reall happening , i dreamed of the demon and the wind part , but never really met it, kool story too twisting end i like that

That's good. Tell it to a few people and I'm sure people will begin to think it's true and it will become a popualr Urban Legend. Lol. Then there will be products that sell like hot-cakes that supposedly ward off HIV infected mosquitoes.

In the song ''Reptile'' by Nine Inch Nails, at a certain part (around 5:20), it becomes silent (or almost) and the voice of a woman saying something undecipherable can be heard. I played this backwards, and it sounded like ''Uh! You're -'' and it cuts off. It plays a few times in a row. I did some research and found out that the voice was sampled by Trent Reznor from a snuff video. I watched the video and it was extremely disturbing. What can be heard in the song are the final words she said before having her throat slit.


P.S. Those first 3 sentences are true.

Oooo! I got one that I made up in middle school, and it really did turn into a sort of local urban legend. . I was so proud. . .

Ok, there was a power plant not too far from town, and it had a lake beside it. My mom used to take me there all the time because it was creepy and I was a strange child. Anyways, I got this awesome idea to try an experiment and see how gullible people were and how fast a story could spread.

So, I made a fake news article about these two men who had gone fishing in Sutton Lake (which, of course, was the name of the lake) and they had witnessed a horrible creature in the water that had tried to tip their boat. After I circulated that for a while, I began to add other things. . .like how the power plant was a nuclear power plant, and that there was nuclear waste in the lake. Then I took a picture of like a log or something and started showing people, saying it was one of the "monsters". It was so funny, because it spread like wildfire. Next thing I knew, there were people saying that they had "seen the monster" and stuff. hahaha. No one even bothered to check the facts. The power plant wasn't a nuclear power plant, it was just a normal one. It was really funny, because about three years later I was working at a restaurant and I overheard some customers talking about Sutton Lake and the "Monster" that supposively lived there. Hahahaha. My mom says her friends still think it's all true, and they tell people all the time. I should feel guilty, but.. . .

Allright I'll give it a go.

Have you ever woke up in the middle of the night and feel like someone is watching you? Well thats because you were randomly selected by The Watcher. An old man who has traveled from city to city, town to town, and even from State to state and well, all over the world.

Nobody has ever seen The Watcher or knows the reason why he likes to watch you. Maybe a reason is because when he was but a child he saw his mother killed right on her bed by a jealous husband who was laying right next to her. Or that When he was about to get married he watched his wife - to - be run across train tracks to greet with a very fast train. And of course there is the simple fact that when he was a nice chubby baby he was violently dropped by grandmama and was never like the other kids. Instead of playing tag and eating crackers he would just stare blankly at nothing. Sometimes if there was a girl with a pretty face he would stare at her for a long time. No one would ever know what went on in that brain (if he had one) of his.

He started watching people in Alaska, a nice place where you can sleep without having to lock your doors. Oh no, he was never bad about it. All he needed was a lock pick and a door. Then silently he would walk to the nearest bedroom, find someone sleeping and stare with the same blank stare from when he was a child. He kept on staring until the sun will rise or until the person in bed would wake up and called the police - like what happened in San Fransisco, California.

The Watcher was never meant for prison. So he just escaped. And from then on he visits random houses at night. To find a window that isn't barred or covered so he can watch a soul sleep. It was even more exciting when that soul was still awake reading or on the computer or doing whatever. Seeing a person in action, oh what fun! So he would stare and stare. That is, until the person turned to see his wrinkled, pruny face staring in the window. Then he would turn and run away, looking for another window to look into.

So if you feel like your being watched in the night time or that feeling like your not alone. Your not. Its only the Watcher, watching you.

But don't worry, all he does is stare.

haha while reading that I had the sudden urge to look out my window

[-Eye Eater-]

4ft. tall with pale blue skin, resembling an old man with a long nose and over-grown, white facial hair.
Completely naked.

It's said that if you sit down near a small body of water in nature, any time between 5PM and 7AM, and are alone, he will come out of the nearest patch of uncovered dirt and make his way towards you.
Once in range, he will launch his abnormally long and narrow tongue at your face, and catch and devour your right eye.

If he likes the taste of it, he may put a precious stone in its place.

Ok how bout this short one;

If you play in grass that is long (I am talking long enough to conceal a child) and the wind blows though it. You need to get out of there because the grass will come alive and strangle you.

Note: When I was a kid we had grass like this and everytime there was a wind that blew though the grass I had the crazy notion that the grass would strangle me because I was tresspassing... (I did actually have a number of occasions that I did trip because the grass somehow became entangled around my ankles.... )

Did you know that when you put a bunch of Lay's sour cream & onion potato chips in the microwave for about 4 minutes, they turn blue/purpleish?
Scientists discovered that this is caused by the specific combination of ingredients; they start to react with the microwaves and their molecular structure changes.





Nah...... this one just sounds too stupid

That's...very disturbing
