Scary and Funny Urban Legends

What is an urban legend? Urban legends are incredible stories, sometimes scary, sometimes funny, which have a tantalizing bit of plausibility to them. Urban legends contain many folkloric elements and they spread quickly through a community or society. The tales are usually told dramatically, as if they are true stories that have happened to a real people, although they may in fact be fictional.


Licky Tattoos Linked to Drugs

I heard from my mom which heard it from many people that people put drugs in licky tattoos! 



Movies ....H.I.V.?

Check seats before siting down in a movie theater because a girl sat down and felt a prick. She didn't think it was anything. When the movie ended she was bleeding. It turned out there was a needle in the chair with the H.I.V. virus on it.



Night Drivers

Don't drive around at night with your headlights on, and flash them on a suspicious figure or else he'll come and beat you up really bad.



Pay Phone Danger

Warn people you care about not to use public pay phones because a gang is going around applying skin eating acid to the receiver and buttons.

Minnesota: The Hairy Man of Vergas Trail
     Why it's creepy: What’s not to be creeped out about? An 8-foot, musty-smelling, barefoot man with a reputation for being unnaturally aggressive is a hell of a thing to consider encountering in the woods. Some reported sightings were just that: sightings. However, reports like Ken Zitzow’s made the Hairy Man more than an apparition, but something to fear. Zitzow returned from driving in the woods with dents all over his car hood and said the Hairy Man jumped onto the road and began pounding the hood.
     Where it came from: Nobody really knows. Sightings trace back to the '60s, had a significant increase in the '70s, and still happen from time to time. Some say it’s a legend. Some say there was an old hermit living in the woods who wasn’t too keen on your rascally kids wandering his land. Others say the Hairy Man is real and point to a mysterious skull discovered in the Vergas Trail area that is human-like, but not hominid. It was discovered by a private citizen who didn’t turn it over, so no one knows if it’s human, Bigfoot, animal, or hoax. -- Dustin Nelson
