Default Urban myths.

A man got a glass tumbler stuck up his arse.


The doctors stuck a lollipo stick in the glass and filled it with cement then waited until the cement got solid and pulled it out.

1. DID THEY HANG THE POOR SOD UPSIDE DOWN FOR 4 HOURS WHILE IT SET?
2. THE CEMENT ON SOLIDIFYING WOULD IT EXPAND AND SMASH THE GLASS.

anymore urban myths ??

I think that we only use 10% or whatever of our Brains is an urban myth.

There's the one about crane flies (daddy long legs) having enough poison/venom inside of them to kill a human, but they didn't have the means to administer them.

Totally made up, Wikipedia said so.

SlimFast being made of dehydrated thread worms! Apparently not true, even though it tastes like it is.

Bunny Man scares the CRAP out of me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunny_Man

We have a few bridges like that around here and when we were younger we used to run home through them terrified at night after people saying Bunny Man was coming rofl.

Edit: OH MY GOD

Quote:
On the evening of February 2, 2010 a Snowman in the shape of a Bunny appeared on top of the bridge.
:|! *childhood fears come racing back* haha.

If you go cross-eyed and the wind blows different direction they will stay how they are.

Used to believe that :|

Bloody Mary?

Bloody Mary
Legend has it that if you stand in front of a mirror in a darkened room and chant 'Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary' several times, a terrifying ghost will appear.

CHILDHOOD FEARS..going for a poop(yeah i know more crap) as a 6-9 yr old and thinking a fox would come up the plumbing and bite my arse.


BLACK MAGIC..burning your thumb over a candle reciting the lords prayer used to turn you into an animal..my mate mario turned into a raging gorilla, chased us terrified watchers through a graveyard..I tried it and turned into a worm..I wasn't happy as I wriggled out the public bogs.

This one used to freak me out!

A young girl is left home alone with only her dog to protect her.
In the deep of night she awakens to a dripping sound coming from the bathroom. The girl is too scared to go check so she reaches her hand under the bed and feels a reassuring lick from her dog, then falls back to sleep, She awakens again to the dripping sound. She reaches her hand down again and feels the lick of her dog, She then gets up and slowly walks towards the bathroom, the dripping sound getting louder as she approaches. She reaches the bathroom and turns on the light. She is greeted by a horrific sight; hanging from the shower nozzle is her dog with its throat slit open and its blood dripping into the bathtub, Something on the bathroom mirror catches her eye; she turns around. Written on the wall in her dog's blood are the words "HUMANS CAN LICK TOO".

OH MY GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY JOSY! That's terrifying!!

...

Quote:
This girl was babysitting for a family she knew. She put the child (3 year old) to bed in her bedroom and went downstairs.......after a while, the child starting crying hysterically, so she went up to check on her. She eventually got the child to settle down again.

She went back downstairs, but almost immediately the child started crying AGAIN hysterically...so she went up and comforted the little girl....once settled she went back down again.

It happened a third time....she went u p to comfort the child, and noticed what she thought was a big clown DOLL/thing in the corner of the room - she thought the clown maybe upset the child.....so she settled the child again and went downstairs to ring the parents.

On the phone to the parents, she said the child wouldn't stop crying hysterically, and everytime she got her settled she'd cry again. She asked the parents about the big clown doll in the childs room - to which the parents replied there was no clown doll in the room...the child never had a big clown doll...

So the girl panicked - went upstairs when she heard the child crying again, collected the child, came back downstairs and ran out of the house to a neighbour - while they dialled the police, they kept watch on the house, and the neighbour noticed a man dressed as a clown running away from the back of the house.

Police came, and they eventually caught the clown - turns out the clown was actually a paedophile who had been hiding in the little girls room..
That freaked me the f' out!!

I thought of one that always creeped me out.

A girl driving on a road and she pulls over because of something blocking her way. Pushes it off the road and starts driving again only to see somebody beeping and flashing her from behind. Anyway, she pulls over again and the folks in the other car tell her that somebody was lurking near the car and they find a bag full of rope, knives and the like in the back. Have you heard that one before?

Heard that one before! It creeps me out too, and I always check the back seat before I get into the car!
