What do you think the truest and most real urban legend is and has anyone experianced any?

Uhhhh....there is no such thing as a "true" urban legend.

TK is right, if they were real, they wouldn't be called Legends now, would they

But I'd say my favorite urban legend is probably the one that says the Great Wall of China is visible from space.

Well... a friend of my aunt's dogsitter's daughter's boyfriend's father's boss's cousin's teacher...



Actually, an Urban Legend is just a story that has been passed on through various generations. It's possible for them to have basis in fact, though many are complete bulls***.

uhhhhhhh.......yes i know this, but what i said was.....has anyone experienced one out of a story for real ????????

Yes, I know. I was replying to someone else.

No Problems!

This post is very confusing...There are NO (nada) real urban legends!

Don't be so sure....things happen all of the time without everyone knowing...and when people hear stories they want to recreate them. So..maybe someone ulled an urban "prank" on you...XD

I disagree with alot of the previous posts, in fact all of them. You are all right in the fact that Urban legends are stories that have been passed down from generation to generation. But these 'urban legends' have to start somewhere.... Who says none of these have ever happened? If any of them did actually happen, and someone told you about it, chances are you wouldn't believe it because you would say- Ah, thats just an urban legend..

Think of all the murderers, sickos and psychopaths out there in this world- I believe it's possible for any of these to reinact any of these urban legends.

Take for example- The one about the girl going to the service station and the guy climbing into the back seat, and the service station attendant tells the girl to stay there while he calls the police- This is an Urban Legend right? But it was only a few months ago, I was watching a Real Crime show on tv about this exact crime happening.

So I believe that either:

These Urban Legends did occur at some time in history, and it's just that they are so well known and so often used at kids sleepovers to scare eachother that we tend to think it's just a myth.

OR

These Urban Legends are just stories, but they give ideas to people who are capable of doing such gruesome and terrible things, and so they do these things in reality.

As another example, there is the one about the person in the car that drives around with their headlights off, and when you flash your lights to them to 'warn' them to turn their lights on, they turn their car around and chase you. I am sure that there is at least one person or should I say idiot out there in this world that has done that, therefore this urban legend would be true, wouldn't it?

But it's just my opinion and just my thoughts.....

i think your spot on pretty much anything that can happen has already

Y'know, maybe there ARE true Urban Legends, I mean, if I believe in Nessie, I belive in Urban Legends!

(if you hear one about toenails, that's mine!)

Ha ha ha. You strike me as my kindred UM soul. Woo Simpsons!

Once upon a time, I tried to look at the globe on google earth, to see if I could see the great wall, and I couldn't, and I was livid. I had to zoom in so much. Then my computer shut down.

The great wall does not like to be undermined.
