The one with the woman who loves puzzles. She gets a new puzzle one night and is working on it. She finds out that it looks just like her house, including an image that could be her hunched over the kitchen table, doing something. She puts the last piece in and sees the image of another person, upstairs, with a knife.

It should be Urban Legend. Anyway here in India they believe in witchcraft and black magic. So once a sage gave a lady a rose and asked her to wear it before going to bed. She put it in water in a vessel. She forgot all about it and went to bed. At night there was a sound, they woke up and saw that the vessel had fallen down and that the rose was crawling out of the window. They woke their neighbours and followed it. It led them to the graveyard. This tantric sage was waiting there. He would either have raped her or sacrificed her for some ritual he was doing. The rose was supposed to put her in a trance.
Then there was another around 1997. A rumour was doing rounds that people would leave infected needles in cinema halls seats and people would catch AIDS. Or that there would be these guys on bikes who would jab pedestrians and stick a sticker which read ' Welcome to the Club' on them. It had people scared for some time.

I love watching myth busters bust all the myths and blow stuff up.
Currently the best urban myth is about Oliver North and Osama Bin Laudin.

Man's Lost Gnome Attends Steelers Game
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - Allen Snyder's garden gnome is apparently out of jail and now traveling the country. The 14-inch tall red-and-white statue disappeared from Snyder's Morgantown yard in the spring, and Snyder has since received three letters claiming to have been written by "Gnomey."
The latest letter, which Snyder received this week, included photos of the gnome in the company of Steelers fans attending Pittsburgh's football home opener.
"You never took me to any games," the note said. The letter ended: "Have to go now. Boarding a plane. Now, finally, broadening my travels."
An earlier letter included a request for bail money and included what appeared to be booking photos of Gnomey and another of the gnome in the back seat of a police car.
Snyder has no idea who's pulling this prank but said his short list of suspects includes several gag-loving friends.
The plight of his gnome has gotten a lot of attention. Snyder says people are always asking if he's heard from Gnomey.
"I never thought it would go this far," he said.
The story has even caught the attention of officials at Travelocity, which uses a roaming gnome in the online travel agency's advertising.
"While we know that your dear friend, Gnomey, can never be replaced, we're sending the enclosed Roaming Gnome to keep you company in his absence," wrote Michelle Peluso, president and chief executive officer of Travelocity, based in Southlake, Texas. "Hopefully your friend will find his way out of trouble and back to your front yard soon, although we can't help but admire his sense of adventure and love of travel."

This week it's "A child drowned after jumping into the ocean to see SpongeBob SquarePants."
It's false but made the rounds of several schools and across to the PTA.

The one about the guy with a hook in the backseat of the ladies car that she doesn't know is there, but she calls the cops because of the car that is following her and flashing his bright lights. Then it turns out that the guy behind her saw the guy climb in her back seat and was only trying to warn her.

I like the one where the family finds a puppy and brings it home and it eats the cat because it's really a huge rat.

Cellphones starting fires at gas stations.
Mythbusters beat this one to a pulp and there are *still* signs up at gas stations warning about.
