View Full Version : 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 ??

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.

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
On the evening of February 2, 2010 a Snowman in the shape of a Bunny appeared on top of the bridge.

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!! :shocked:
...
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?

These aren't urban myths, these are horrible freaky stories :bawling:
My girlfriend just told me this story about a lesbian and a lobster so I googled it...:/
Susy DeLucci and the Miracle of Life.
One morning around 5 am 22 year old Susan DaLucci of Kittery Maine, woke up with a painful need to urinate. At first she thought she had diarrhea, but when she stood up out of bed, she realized that it was urinary pain.
It was very similar to the feeling of having diarrhea, just out the wrong hole. She wobbled to the toilet and upon sitting on it, her vagina erupted into the most horrific messy farting noise anyone has ever heard. In paralyzing pain, Ms. DeLucci for the next few minutes continued to push and squirt out of her vagina a burning tide of wretch and filth while she gripped the sides of the toilet, white-knuckled. She was screaming wildly, and the neighbors called the police. When medics arrived they found Ms. DeNucci unconscious lying on the floor of her bathroom wearing nothing but her bath robe. Running down her leg, was a stream of brown and green syrup. The medic had to transfer her to a stretcher, so he grabbed her left leg which was bent crossing her other leg, to straighten her out. She was lying there all twisted up. When he lifted her left leg to straighten her body out, he exposed her vagina at which point a creature, no larger than the tip of a finger wormed its way out of her genitals and landed on the floor with a wet popping sound.
Shocked, the medic stared at the creature that was lying on the tile bathroom floor in a casing of mucous. It was a tiny mud shrimp and it sat there on the cold floor gasping for water while flipping itself back and forth. The horrified medic turned to the toilet as he felt the nausea setting in. When he put his face down into the toilet to puke what he saw was so horrific that to this day he cannot look into a toilet without convulsing. The entire toilet bowl was boiling with baby brown mud shrimp flipping and splashing at a furious pace. If you think that is bad - wait until you hear how it happened:
Ms. DeLucci official death was the result of a combination of shock and severe head trauma. She stood up over the toilet in pain and when she saw what she had done, she went into shock and fell, smashing her head on the toilet and then on the floor. It is believed by medical police that on two nights before the accident she had purchased a live lobster at a fish market. While lying in a tub, she gently inserted the creature's tail into her vagina to derive pleasure. At that point, she held a lighter under the creature's face causing it to flip its tail in a violent snapping motion. The medics found a lesbian XXX video in the VCR and the TV was positioned on a table in front of the tub.
The lobster was found in the kitchen garbage can wrapped in a paper bag. Traces of Ms. DeLucci's DNA were found on the lobster along with pubic hairs that had wedged themselves between the lobster tail joints. The lobster's face was lightly burned with the same fuel used in lighters. The lobster's digestive track and colon were found to be full of mud shrimp egg casings. Doctors believe that the lobster had eaten them (they are common in the water at fish markets and are usually harmlessly boiled to death) and the lobster had crapped them out into Ms. DeLucci's **** when she was torturing it. Maine mud shrimp only take two days to gestate and Ms. DeLucci was only four days away from getting her period, doctors believe that at that point of her menstrual cycle, her womb was the perfect PH balance to grow these mud shrimp which are a much larger version of the popular "Sea Monkey" pets sold throughout the US.
Over night the eggs had hatched and the mud shrimp began doubling in size every ten minutes. You can imagine the pain she was in when she woke up that morning and gave birth to well over 1,000 mud shrimp in her toilet.

That reminds me of one I saw on TV a few months ago about an Australian woman from the 1960s who had a beehive hairstyle and used to just keep applying hairspray to it day after day without properly washing it (to keep the shape and style).
One day she woke up to see baby Black Widow spiders crawling around her hair after a female had laid it's eggs in her hair.
She shaved all of her hair off and was sectioned indefinitely. :shocked:

If anyone has a mate in the army they have probably heard about the "line up" with a couple of their mates blindfolded and a local lass who lived in the barracks town (colchester)
seemingly their sergeant was the last one on, took his blindfold off to be confronted by his daughter arse up in the air...

It reminds me of a night my hubby and I were driving home, we were coming over a mountain and the moon appears from behind the clouds. Hubby slams on the breaks, jumps out of the car and tries to drag me out of the passenger side, screaming and shouting at me about a man in the back seat.
When we had both calmed down slightly, we worked out that when the moon came out, he saw a reflextion of his OWN shadow on the back seat and rear window. Needless to say I ended up driving the rest of the way home, while he was a gibbering wreck!

It's just horrible. I remember being in the states with my uncle, and we were driving in the south at night, and this pickup truck started driving alongside us. Didn't slow down or move ahead of us... just sat there beside us and he was telling me to look ahead and not pay any heed to it. Quite scary actually because he had the confederate flags on the windows and no doubt the shotgun too.

I'M ASSUMING YOU ALL KNOW THE BEGINNING AND END OF THIS URBAN MYTH.......
Again the voice repeated. "Lady, move away from your car towards us and whatever you do, don't look back". Again "Ma'am would you please continue moving towards us do not look back, face us and don't look back". She was now on the brink of fainting and could only fall towards those bright lights. She was caught by a man in uniform which she recognized to be from the local Police Department and could suddenly see past the lights. There were possibly 10 to 15 Squad cars and double that amount of police officers with guns drawn. Before she lost consciousness she decided there was one last thing she had to do. She struggled to flip over and face the car.

There are numerous urban legends involving Coca Cola. In fact, there are so many that these legends all now have their own category known as “Colklore”. The most popular is that if you were to leave a tooth in a cup of coke overnight by morning the tooth would be completely dissolved. Like most of the other legends involving the popular drink this is totally untrue.
