Urban Legends you\'ve heard of...
 

In response to the sounds of hell topic, I thought that I'd make a thread about urban legends in general. If you've heard a myth or story from your childhood, tell us here! It'd be fun. :joker: Here's one that always creeped me out:

Nothing that pops up, I promise.

When i was 7, i had loads of teddies at the end of my bed. (just thought i'd get that point first)

Anyways, i was at school reading and when i looked at a book my mum had, it said that a creature scratches your feet at night.

The next morning i had a sore foot cause of some scratches. :shocked:

So, because i was curious i decided to go and look at the end of my bed at night...and realised that it was part of my teddy. (the tag) that scratched me....it was really scary.

More of a childhood thing than an urban legend.

Omg, that clown one is horrible!!

The most.

AAAHH...ahhh!!... *cringe* noooo.

On a more humorous note

Well this one is from our neck of the woods.

And this one sort of related was actually true but distorted in the telling

:joker:

Not all Urban legends are scary some are quite funny

Sadly the one about all the viewers trying to phone the number given out on Dr Who is utterly true

You could not make that up

they used to freak me out, i remember when i was younger we used to all tell them at sleepovers and stuff. I was one of the wimps that could never sleep

I had a thing for having nightmares eating giant marshmellows, and every morning I'd wake up to find someone had stolen my pillow:shocked:

Bloody Mary!

:sad:

:shocked:

That one is horrible!

You got any more?
