    [​IMG] I have heard many Urban Legends and the like, usually just the same thing twisted a little. I'm here to ask if anyone has any good Urban Legends, and if so would you care to share?

    I don't have a link, but I will tell you one which gets me today.

    Mary in the Mirror: If you knock three times on a mirror at midnight, Mary will show herself. Not too creepy to some, but you won't catch me tapping on mirrors!

    Another one is the Jersey Devil.

    There's also Wendigo.

    Someone once told me that simulated bacon bits are made out of earthworms. I think I ate my baked potatoes with just butter for a couple of weeks.

    I always remember the one about the girl who went to the library in the evening to study but forgot her books. So she went back to her room. But she didn't want to wake her roommate so she didn't turn on the light. She fumbled around silently, trying to make as little noise as possible, and got her books then went to the library for a few hours. When she went back to her room so she police cars and lights all over the place. When she asked what was going on, they showed her to her room where the bloodied body of her murdered roommate was lying.

    And scrawled in big letters on the wall, in blood, were the words: "Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the light......"

    Urban legends are fun, but in general they are a poor-mans folklore.

    It's interesting to see how urban legends make the full circle. Last week I was forwarded this:

    I've been hearing some version of that one for about 20 years now.
