One that I've never heard repeated ever apart from where I grew up in the 70s which went through my school like wildfire. A girl was supposed to have gone home from school and opened the fridge to find that the liver her mum had got for tea was wrapped around the milk bottle. She moved it back on to the plate and when here mum came home from work she found the liver wrapped around the milk bottle. After having a chat with her daughter she realised something was wrong and they gave it to a friend who was a vet. He did some tests and found that the cow died of cancer and the theory was that the liver was trying to repair itself by trying to get the calcium from the milk. It frightened the life out of me at the time but we were very naive in the 70s!!

There is a 'triangle' where I live. People disappear there every 50 years. Some theories I've read(or legends I've heard): a man-eating rock, a monster, an interdimensional trapdoor, it's the place where the four winds meet, it was an escapee from an asylum. People really did disappear there in the 50's, and only one of the bodies was found. There was a famous one(not that the person was famous- but the disappearance was), but I can't say who, because that would give away my town. Four friends went and stayed there overnight for a project on our towns history, but they didn't see anything strange. There was a random safe just in the middle of the woods, but that was it. My dad knows someone who claims to have seen bigfoot, and we believe him. He's been a hunter forever and he knows what a bear looks like. Eight people have disappeared while hiking, or even on a bus, and only one body was found, years later, and the autopsy didn't reveal anything except that it looked like she had died ten minutes ago, although she disappeared several years previously, and her body was found in an area that had been searched several times.

We have a Legend that I now say is not a legend but Truth. It is about a Warlock Willie and then comes into play his sister-in-law who was a practicing Witch except she chose to practice Black Magic.
Both were so well known for what they did and when both passed away, both Willie and his sister-in-law were indeed buried next to each other and away from the rest of their family. A tree from as the lengend goes was was grown by a branch that sprouted from the same tree as the one used to make the thorn crown for Jesus's head.
This thorn tree has grown to be so large that Willie's stone was engulped by this tree and there is no tombstone to be seen at all of his sister-in - laws grave.
If anyone went to that graveyard and you went by those 2 graves something really bad would happen to you. I have known so many people who have gone to that Graveyard and so many had horrible tragedies that happened to them either when leaving the graveyard and within a a few days of each other.
I was stupid and went for the heck of it and with the ego of nothing will happen to me. Wrong!!! Within 3 months of going 15 people I knew and really cared about were dead and the first one died the day after I went. I was so terrified for being such a know it all. Willie has had his grave dug up and he's body and tombstone is gone. Every year there are 5 days that no one will even drive down Huron River Drive. This graveyard is in Scio Township by Dexter, Michigan and Ann Arbor, Mich.. We even have EVP"S of Willie's voice and he is not a nice person even in his death.
Also, these thorn trees are not grown in an Area where we live but this do and there are several now and these trees grow only in Arrid Areas and Michigan is certainly not an Arrid place!!!! This in the state of Michigan, USA..

We have a nice home grown urban legend. In Great Yarmouth we have a Nelson's column which pre-dates the one in Trafalgar Square and on top is a statue of Britannia. She faces not out to sea but towards Nelson's birth place. The story is that when the architect saw she was facing inland he thought she was facing the wrong way and threw himself off the top the the column. This story is common around the town but the truth is he was inspecting the finished column and died at the top of a heart attack. But a few years later a stunt man from the local circus got drunk and tried to walk round the top and fell off to his death. So the two stories and the fact that Britannia faces inland have combined to become our urban legend

There's one I've heard many times from all kinds of people -
A woman gets in her car at night and as shes driving, a trucker pulls along side and is frantically making hand gestures to her. Of course shes very alarmed, but doesn't know whats going on. Then she stops at a toll booth, and the toll taker shouts, "Lady, get out of that car! There's a man hiding in the back!." The legend has a few variations, but everyone who tells it knows some one who knows some one who it "really" happened to.

There is a mental hospital near us which is bordered by some forest. Apparently a man and his girlfriend where driving through the forest road one night when they ran out of petrol. The radio was on and there had been a warning that a patient had escaped and this patient was dangerous and not to be approached under any circumstances. The man gets out of the car telling the girl to hide under the seats until he returns and to stay put. The girl drifts off to sleep and is woken by a thud thud thud on the boot (rear) of the car.Before she has a chance to investigate she hears the sound of a police siren and the police are on the loud hailers telling her to step out of the car and not to look behind her. She steps out of the vehicle and walks slowly (as instructed) towards the police vehicles ahead of her. However curiosity gets the better of her and she turns to see...... a crazed looking man banging the head of her fiance against the rear window of the car.

I have heard that the speed camera on the corner of Racecourse Road actually works.
I've never actually met anyone that got a ticket by way of it though my friend's, sister's, boyfriend's mother did!
