A friend told me the one about the couple who are on vacation and get robbed of everything but their camera and toothbrushes as happening to his cousin.\n\nAn ex-girlfriend told me the Eddie Murphy "hit the floor" one as happening to her aunt's friend in Atlantic City.\n\nIt's amazing how credible they can be.

Why do stupid people fall for every urban legend?

I don't think they are.  I get those silly e-mails all the time, but I look at it this way - I've never known ANYBODY that had those weird things happen to them. Even if I didn't believe they were urban legends, I'd still think the likelihood of their happening to me to be tiny, and I have bigger things to worry about!

I like horror stories, so here are some...\n\n***\n\nAbout six or seven years ago, my family lived along Teays Valley Rd. before the big "industrial boom" of Putnam County. Seems like it went from a farming community to a city right before my eyes. Well anyway, We rented land off of a fellow by the name of Jim Umberger. On this land was an extravagant pre-civil war almost Victorian house. It was simply beautiful. Off to the side of this massive antique sat our trailer. Now I was awful young through all of this and kids will have thier fabled ghost stories, but there was something quite odd about this house. Something was down right sour. \n\nThe story had it (and I know nothing of the truth in this) a family was brutally butchered in the house. Back then, there wasa whole lot of nothing for miles around, so no one even found these folks for a good long time. As a youngster, I had the "creeps" about anything just about, but I've never been quite as frightened of a place as I was here. The place had an eerie air to it. To make things even more insane, my stepgrandmother, Evelyn, died of brain cancer there (in our trailer, of course). My other Grandmothers' entire cancer eaten body siezed up and shut down on her, yet she died oficially in a hospital. Strange things went on at this trailer. Pockets of not cool, but cold air in the middle of July, for example. Once in the winter my mother was out on the town. My younger brother and I were watching some TV when there was a knock on the door. There, on the freshly fallen snow, was nothing. No footprints, no tire tracks, nothing. Needless to say I spent the rest of that night with my head buried under the covers. Speaking of doors, once I heard the doorbell ring, seemed innocent enough, but WE DIDN'T HAVE A DOORBELL!! Pictures falling off the wall, creaky floors and long sleepless nights were only minor nuisences we had to deal with everyday. The most disturbing incidences, however, and the most annoying were when the smoke detectors, located in various parts of the trailer, would take turns going off one at a time. \n\nAfter that, they'd go off simultaneously, quite a ruckus. For a long time, I thought I was the only one who felt a presence, then one night, my mother went completely irate screaming "Show yourself, Evelyn! I'm tired of these f*ck*ng games! Show yourself!" We never saw anything. Things continued as they were until we moved. Mr. Umberger sold the land to someone and it became South Brooke, a ritzy subdivision with $500,000+ houses that wouldn't hear of our humble trailer depriciating thier property. However, I believe they'll get theirs, Although they tore the house down for the project, there was a well and a system of underground streams and springs which probably rendered the whole operation illegal. The thing about the springs and wells may not sound important, but in my own personal research I have found negative forces and spirits can channeol themselves through waterways. I'd like to see how South Brooke likes it's neighbors! \n\nI believe I have some pictures of that house somewhere in the mess that is my apartment.\n\n***\n\nThe story I would like to tell is about an apartment building in Spokane, WA. This building is only about seven years old, if y'all are anything like me you expect a haunted house to be all scary and falling down, not clean with nice landscaping. It really started the day after we moved in, my hubby came in from the deck (I am a cigarette nazi - no smoking in ze house!) scared as heck. I have never seen my ex-marine hubby look so scared. He absolutely would not talk about it! hmmmm. \n\nNot two days later my little year and some odd daughter was supposed to be asleep for the night but instead was talking to someone. Of corse, no one was there when I checked, but I swore I could hear an old lady talking to her. I figured it was my dead grandma, she comes to visit now and t

nah.\n\ni have seen some of these people. in front of the house i lived as kid was a grave. some muslims started throwing coins when passing by. then some one started sitting there with a (mujabir? i think that's what they are called .not sure though) loban or something. then they started singing kawwalees at that grave on thursdays. \n\nthen we noticed on thursdays a woman had started to come and they had a full show going on. mujabir(?) told everybody that djinn possesses her that time and all that. \n\none day after all devotees went away that woman and mujabir had a quarrel about money they had earned. they could not selttle the issue . then she stopped coming. \n\nbut really i had seen too much drama already. how the tales were being created and what not. many old people used to say that the grave was of a pet of original owners of that land. but everyone avoided telling it to devotees as it would have been risking a riot.\n\ni have always been curious about ghosts and as a kid sometimes volunteered to go with ghost search parties. no luck.\n\n  sometimes my companions claimed to see or hear the ghosts. somehow i never see them. seems like ghosts and djinns avoid me altogether.\n\nit is not only muslim djinns either. that Pepal tree ghost often refered among hindus too do not come near me.\n\nthough i believe in existance of soul I believe such claims as frauds.

I love the one about Kramer telling the story where he takes control of the bus to take the lady with the cut-off pinky toe to the hospital. "I'm fighting him off with one arm and driving the bus with the other!" And you stopped at every stop?? "Well they kept ringing the bell!"

Yes, was driving down the road one day & the wind blew a lady's wig off who was walking down the sidewalk.\nAnd a girl I was talking to at work one day sneezed and her false teeth flew out of her mouth.

One of the most enduring, and little-recognized, urban legends about cinema is the "snuff film," in which actresses are supposedly actually killed onscreen. Over the course of nearly a quarter century, the snuff film has transformed from grade-Z slasher film to hoax to anti-pornographers' straw man to urban legend, and shows no sign of slowing down.

the one I keep hearing about is the Chicago Cubs curse.  its about how a billy goat wasn't allowed in the stadium back in the 1900's and since then the cubs haven't been in the world series

I believe it is false.  You can go onto Snopes.com and check it out.  They debunk many of these urban legends.

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around looking for valuables and when he picked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying "Jesus is watching you."\n\nHe nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off and froze. When he heard nothing more, after a bit he shook his head, promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked the light back on and began searching for more valuables. Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell, he heard "Jesus is watching you."\n\nFreaked out he shined his light around frantically looking for the cause of the voice. Finally in the corner of the room his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot. "Did you say that?" he hissed at the parrot.\n\n"Yep" the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I was just trying to warn you." The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, HUH?" Who are you? "Moses," the parrot replied. "Moses?" the burglar laughed. What kind of stupid people would name a parrot Moses?"\n\nThe parrot promptly answered, "Probably the same kind of people that would name their Rotweiller dog Jesus..."\n\n A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man\nopposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat.\nThis time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man\nseemed more amused.\nWhen on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to\nthe driver and he had the man arrested. The case came up in court. The\njudge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself.\nThe man replied, Well your Honour, it was like this: When the lady got\non the bus, I couldn’t help but notice her condition. She sat under a\nsweets sign that said, “The Double Mint Twins are Coming” and I grinned.\nThen she moved and sat under a sign that said, “ Logan’s Liniment will\nreduce the swelling”, and I had to smile. Then she placed herself under\na deodorant sign that said, “William’s Big Stick Did the Trick”, and I\ncould hardly contain myself. BUT, your Honour, when she moved the fourth\ntime and sat under a sign that said, “Goodyear Rubber could have\nprevented this Accident”...I just lost it.\n\n\n\n“ CASE DISMISSED!!”
