Answer 2

When the Darwin Awards first came out, there was the story of a guy that strapped a JATO (a rocket that assists the C-130 in take off if it's over weight or the landing strip is too short for normal take off) to his car's roof in the hopes of going very very fast in a flat area of the desert. The rocket was so powerful it lifted the car in the air and smacked it hard into the side of a hill. At least that's what the police concluded when they came across the wreakage.

Answer 3

Jan Brunevand has written several books about this subject. here in San Francisco, we have a local variation of the Vanishing Hitchiker. My Japanese lover Miyuki told me perhaps the oldest version and several new ones from her land. The old one has a man travelling and meets a girl on the road. He tells her he will escort her home, for it is quite dangerous for a girl to travel alone. She gives him her address and follows behind him. When he reaches her home, she has disappeared. He talks to the lady of the house who tells him her daughter was killed by robbers at the spot he met her ten years ago and that several men have escorted the girl as he just did. She continually tries to return home but can never arrive there. The local one in Berkely in the 1930's has a man seeing a girl at a streetcar stop after they quit running. She gets in the back seat of his car and tells him her father is a professor at University of California who lives near campus. He drives to the address she gives him. She is gone when he arrives, but she leaves a book on the seat. He goes to the house, and the man tells him his daughter was killed in a car wreck at the spot he saw her years ago. The book was one of hers and missing from the bookcase. There is one form Los Angeles too. That's about 405 miles south of here. Let me know if you want to hear it.

Answer 4

I love the oldie about the girl who had a beehive hairdo that she didn't take down for a few weeks, and a spider laid eggs in it, it hatched, and they all bit her.

The girl who got her pony tail caught in the ferris wheel and it ripped her scalp off.

And of course, the hook.

Answer 5

i love the story of the guy who picks up a girl hitch hiker and he drives her home and cause it was cold he gave her his jacket to wear. When he dropped her off he said he,ll come back for his jacket, and so he did only to find the girls mum there who tells him that her daughter had died several years ago and she told him where her daughter had been buried. Then straight away he goes to the cemetery and finds his jacket on her tombstone
