pkay, this is my first post, it happened somwhere i used to live. the showed it on the news and i was scared at first(i was 3)
We have this nice college where we live, called St. Johnson University. In one dorm were thes two really popular girls named Mary Longhorn and Fionna Thompson. On halloween night Mary was going to a halloween costume party on campus, so she invited Fionna along, but Fionna refused, she said she needed to study. so mary is at this great party, and she see's her boyfriend with Fionna, at the party.She got so pissed, she wished the worse thing in the world would happen to her.She left the party, and went to a bar across town.She was there until 3:30 a.m. When she finally comes home she was about to turn on the light, but thinks to herself "i better let the caniving b**** sleep" so she feels around the room for the sofa(because it was dark and she didnt want to get hur going up the 2nd story)and sleeps. The next morning she had a feeling something was wrong, so she goes upstairs to see if Fionna was allright. She was horrified to see that on the floor was the mangled, raped , lifeless body of Fionna, and on the wall written in her blood were the words:
[size=6]aren't you glad you didnt turn on the lights?
Full Version: a great story, ON THE NEWS!
Are you sure this was on the news? Just sounds like a typical urban legend to me.
it was, we even heard it on the radio, the tv, the paper, everywhere. my mom even remembers it
this isnt a fake one, is it?
Where exactly might St. Johnson University be? I've never heard of it. For that matter, I've never heard of a Saint Johnson period. 
Does sound like a good story 
Urban legends sometimes turn up on the news, which causes a fair bit of confusion. I recognised this story before I'd read half of it, and it's definitely an urban legend.
heard it before on Snopesnot very original
What a little search comes up with: Google.
Its in a film. I cant remember what the film was called tho : /
of course, it could meen that a serial killer is running around, and every murder is exactly the same except for names and places 
I think it might be this one: IMDb: Urban Legend
Never happened.
i don't know where sain Johnson Uni. is, im 12, and i heard it on the news a long time ago. i searched for a saint johnson University, i didnt find anything. i just hought u might be able to make sense of this
Sounds like an Urban Legend to me, But hey i guess it could happen!
I'd agree that it definately is an Urban Legend. I myself have heard it a few times, and a few different versions on top of that. One of those versions even take place in a college here in Arkansas, but I cannot remember which one and I'd rather not trouble myself to look it up at this moment. I also must say I agree with evil_E.T because what he/she said does seem logical.
but what if she did turn on the lights ????
Thats just an ordinary, over-told urban legend. If it was on the news, then give me a news link.
Yeah this one is a popular urban legend. Have heard about it before.
There is no ST. Johnson
That is as old as the internet.

It's older than that.
Bring me a news link and I will believe you.
And even if there is a news link it doesn't mean it's true, as urban legends pop up in news programmes and in the papers from time to time.

Thats the scary part, i heard the story a little different thoe, her body wasnt raped or watever, it was chopped like sushi...
And the answer to mostars question is, the killer may have been in the room with her when she came in, and when she left the killer wrote it.... so basically she would get jabbed in the throat if she did turn on the lights or sumthin...
I heard this on the news too... not sure if its real... heard it thoe....

I've hear that before...it could have been true, but it does sound like just an urban legend.

You cant tell me you don't know the ol' "The Roomate" legend...I will not insult you(that's not me) but... It IS common knowledge... I dunno, It MIGHT have been a real story, but God knows what? I mean... It may have been a true story twisted a little... But oh my God... You Never heard about that?! Tsk, Tsk...
