Can you tell me about any Urban Legends you have heard about that have happened in your town?

Answer 1

The Bluetip parade

Answer 2

I live in Memphis and there are a couple of Urban Legends. Supposedly the Ornamental Metal Museum used to be a psychiatric hospital and it's haunted. Also, there's supposed to be the ghost of a little girl haunting The Orpheum. Then there's Voodoo Village. This is a semi-private cove where people being things they want to disappear. The legend goes that you're supposed to leave whatever you want to disappear on the sidewalk in this cove and by the next morning it will be gone. They say that all of the houses there have things like dried bones and chicken feet hanging all around the doorways. I've never been brave enough to go there. Creepy.

Answer 3

Sasquatch !! They say it lives a the mountains. It's an ape that walks like a man!! No one has ever captured one to prove it is real of fake!! But hair samples have been found and when they take it to the lab. they mark it as unknown!! They have no idea what kind of hair it is!! I was camping once at Deer Lake that's a Lake in Canada and I swear I heard a couple of them they howl yelled it hard to describe but I'll never forget that scary sound!! They sounded like men with super human strength in there vocal cords!! Well that's my urban legend.

Answer 4

I live in "The town that dreaded sundown"
Texarkana, TX
In the 50's some Nut got lose in the park killing people there and in the surrounding neighborhood, he shot, stabbed and strangled people...He even tied a women to a tree, tied a knife to the edge of a trombone, blew, and stabbed her 37 times!

He was never convicted, but the suspect died in Dallas, TX in like 2002
Don't believe me? Rent the movie its A TRUE STORY

Answer 5

Sure. This one is my favorite:

The Scene:
I live in the west suburbs of Chicago, a very densely populated area. There is this dirt road in a somewhat secluded area (very rare in the Chicago Metro area...), and about a mile down this dirt road is an old broken down house, all by itself. About 1/4 mile before the house are train tracks. The name of the street: Munger Road.

The Legend:
It varies from person to person, but as I was growing up this is how it was told to me: The house belonged to a highly ranked KKK member a hundred years ago, and along this abandoned road, hundreds of slaves that escaped to the North were hung from the trees along the road. Now they are haunting the road, making it impassible for anyone other than the bravest of the brave.

How it works:
Some jerk gets a car full of kids. You tell the story on the way over, adding and subtracting details as necessary to make it scary. When you get there, slowly turn down the road, warning anyone not to look out the window or show any fear. (which, of course, makes everyone look out the window...). There's always trash or a garbage bag or something in the trees that can look like ghosts in the wind for effect. When you get to the train tracks, stop your car halfway across. Turn the car off. If you have been a good, fair person, with no prejudice or mistreatment of others for whatever reason, your car will start. If you have been a piece of sh*t, your car stalls the locks get stuck and eventually you get run over by a train. Needless to say, the jerk driving the car "can't start it", and everyone freaks out...

I fell for it when I was like 14, now I look forward to taking my younger siblings and their friends... Someone I went to school with paid another kid $50 to go knock on the door of the abandoned house. He chickened out...

Answer 6

Ever heard of Ressurection Mary?

I used to live in that area when I was growing up.

Claims of motorists who would see the girl walking along the road. They would offer her a ride and then witness her vanishing from their car.

These drivers could describe the girl in detail and nearly every single description precisely matched the previous accounts.

Most researchers agree that the most accurate version of the story concerns a young girl who was killed while hitchhiking down Archer Avenue in the early 1930’s.

She had not gotten very far when she was struck and killed by a passing automobile. The driver fled the scene and Mary was left there to die.

Her grieving parents buried her in Resurrection Cemetery, wearing a white dress and her dancing shoes.

The majority of the reports seem to come from the cold winter months, like the account passed on by a cab driver.

He picked up a girl who was walking along Archer Avenue one night in 1941. It was very cold outside, but she was not wearing a coat. She jumped into the cab and told him that she needed to get home very quickly. She directed him along Archer Avenue and a few minutes later, he looked back and she was gone. He realized that he was passing in front of the cemetery when she disappeared.

Answer 10

about 35 miles away from me in Alexandria VA, there is this thing called the Bunny Man Bridge, the myth is that a mental hospital was closed down and all the patients were let loose. this one man had no family so he lived in the woods and ate bunnies, when teenagers would walk through the woods to the bunny man bridge there would be this horrible odor of dead bunnies that were mutilated and when they would go in the bridge they would hear noises and a couple of teens would run back out the way they came in and when their friends would go looking for them they would find them hung at the entrance of the bridge. Kinda weird it was even on a TV show that only come on in like october I think its called like scariest places on earth or something on the family channel!

Answer 11
