Texas chainsaw massachure
Urban Legend
You all know that the texas chainsaw is still alive. It happened
in Texas 1980 a group of friends were riding in a car and saw a
sad woman who wanted to go home. The driver didn't know which way
was her home but he went the wrong way where her friends all died
by the texas chainsaw. So she took a gun from out of her dress and
put it in her mouth then pulled the trigger. She committed sucide.
So they want to this one house and one of the friends called the
sheriff. The sheriff suddenly came and investigated the body, and
thought that one of the friends did it.
The guy who owned the house came and told her to get her friend
out. So he went out and secretly came in. Now he investigated the
house and looked at the tv. The texas chainsaw killed him and took
him into his lair. The girl looked for him, and it was all her
fault for even staying there in the first of all. Everyone was
waiting to leave and the girl didn't want to she said that she had
to find her boyfriend first. Now she wanted to go in but her other
friend came too. She had to distract the owner of the house, so he
could sneak in. After he sneaked in he walked around the house,
then the girl finally came in. Then the owner came in and took his
gun and tried to shoot the both of them. The guy opened up the
locker vent behind him and the texas chainsaw was there with his
chainsaw, ready to kill.
I don't wanna spoil it for you guys watch the movie to believe me.
The only person who survived was that one girl who wanted to stay
there in the first of all. But no one has found the body of the
texas chainsaw. He still stays in the exact same house today ready
to kill people who come in.

High Beams
Urban Legend
It's said when you are driving late on a winding wooden road,
doesn't matter where, and a car driving towards you on the other
side, without it's lights. If you high beam him twice the person
will drive by you then sudden turn around. He will then try to run
you off the road. If he manages to crash your car or runs it off
the road he will stop and come out to kill you. The only way to out
run him if you entered a busy street, like a main road, and he will
disappear.
My brother Jason was driving home one night on Nate Wipple Hwy. It
was about 2 in the morning and he had called me on his cell phone
asking if my parents were awake. I was saying they weren't home
until I hear him curse and saying "Who can drive in the middle of
the night without their lights on?". He high beamed the guy twice
and past him. Well the guy stopped and turned around and started
chasing him. At first it was just riding his back, flashing his
lights at him. My brother thought he was just being a jerk. But
then he kept ramming into the car, causing Jason to drop the phone.
My brother has a firebird, which he gave to me when he got a new
car, so I could hear the engine switching gears as my brother tried
to out speed him. Nate Wipple is a long street and the man followed
wildly after my brother for 15 minutes. My Brother hit a light and
turned quickly onto Diamond Hill. The guy followed, making the turn
but his head lights dimmed and faded out. Jason didn't bother to
stop driving and came straight home. In the morning, when we
checked for the damage to the car the back bumper was smashed and
their was blood all over the back window.

Urban Legend
Gefeltafish Feltskin was determined to turn his white billy goat,
Snowball, into a watchdog, whether Snowball wanted to be one or not.
To that end, 77-year-old Feltskin, a retired poultry worker from
Hamilton, Georgia, took to beating Snowball with a stick to make him
more aggressive. "Pa, this goat's going to kill you if you keep that
up," Mrs. Feltskin warned her husband. She was right.
On 16 May 1991, Feltskin once again approached the goat, brandishing
a stick. This time Snowball landed the first blow. The 110-pound goat
attacked his tormentor, butting Feltskin in the stomach, twice
knocking him down. Feltskin scrambled onto the porch in an effort to
get away. The goat bounded up the steps after him. While his wife
watched, Snowball rammed his master over the edge. Feltskin fell to
the ground five feet below and died where he landed. "Blunt trauma to
the abdominal cavity," said the coroner. Snowball had ruptured
Feltskin's stomach.
As a dangerous animal who might harm another, by rights Snowball
should have been put down. Once the goat's story was known, however,
the officials who were to decide Snowball's fate were inundated with
pleas to spare the creature. More than 500 protesters from around the
nation called Harris County animal control after it was announced
Snowball might be put to death. Many offered to adopt Snowball.
Some even made death threats. "What happens to the goat happens to
you," one caller reportedly warned. There was also talk of a bomb
being planted if the goat didn't walk.
Snowball got his reprieve. He was turned over to Noah's Ark, a
private animal shelter for neglected and abused animals in Locust
Grove, a little town south of Atlanta. Four hours after his arrival,
he was laid on a kitchen table and neutered, an operation intended to
make him less aggressive. He was also rechristened "Snow".
Why this furor over a goat and the seeming lack of concern for the
man whose life it had ended? In the small community Feltskin had been
part of, he was well and truly mourned. Yet outside that pocket of
acquaintance, sentiment ran the other way -- many animal lovers saw a
certain divine justice in his fate. He'd brought harm to an animal,
and the animal had struck back.
As Tom Teepen, editor of the editorial pages of The Atlanta
Constitution, noted:
We are keener to understand and spare an abused goat than an abused
human. Indeed, when a human kills, we sneer at his defense as a
dodge -- 'Yeah, yeah sure, his mother didn't love him' - yet we are
sentimental about killer goats. We are a very strange animal.

The Halloween Pianist
Urban Legend
I live in lake tanglewood, inbetween Amarillo and Canyon. Legend has
it that back in the 1880s when amarillo was still called San Jacinto,
the was a wealthy businessman, who traveled alot, leaving his wife
all alone. He had the idea to buy her a piano to occupy her time
while he was gone. Little did he know that his wife would never leave
that piano alone. She would play at all hours of the night, during
the day and even when her husband was home. She had never touched a
piano before this time, so you can imagine what she sounded like. A
little over 6 yrs. after he had given her this piano she still
sounded just as bad as the first day she had it. They would fight
over this piano cause she would never spend any time with him. In the
of 1895, about 11 or so years after they moved to San Jacinto
(Amarillo) the husband once again woke from his sleep to fing his
wife pounding away at the piano. He had enough. He took a steak knife
out of the drawer and brutally stabbed his wife until she no longer
fought back. He then took a hammer to the piano, destroying it beyond
repair. He hopped a train to Chicago Ill. the next morning. If you
ever visit the town once known as San Jacinto on Halloween night,and
your looking for a good thrill, head out to McCormick Rd just off of
I-27 heading south. Around midnight or so you'll be able to the awful
tune Helen Marsh loved so much to play, and you'll hear her blood
curdling scream as she is stabbed to death by the one she thought she
was closest to.
Thanx for reading my Urband Legend.

In two books I read this story and every time I read it I get
chills. Its different from time to time so ill say the one I know
best. There were these two girls Amy and Linda. Amy was getting ready
to go to the Christmas party with this guy named mark. Linda was sick
so she stayed home with her dog Jamie. when the doorbell rang, Jamie
started barking and Amy ran down stairs. Then Linda dozed off. When
Linda woke up she put her hand off the bed to pet her dog its was
quiet and just licked her. Then the phone rang. IT was Mark, Linda tell
Amy I'm sorry I'm so late. The roads blocked because some convicts
escaped from the insane asylum. Linda was confused. Didn't you guys go
already? what no, I heard a man come down stairs Jamie was barking.
oh my god you better lock your door and all the police. Linda did so
since she heard a scratching at the door. Jamie was so scared it just
licked her hand. when the police got there she found that it was Amy
who was hurt and injured scratching the door. while they walked her
out the house and to the ambulance they wouldn't let her look a
certain way. so she turned her head. It was Jamie lying there ripped
open. She was shocked. but Jamie was under my bed he licked me. The cop
called for backup. Dogs can lick too.

Hi,
I have four urban legends for you. The first two, I heard when I was in high school. Years later, I read that they began in Chicago. The third is not as well known.
My boyfriend, Cliff told me about the first one and swore it was true.
A boy and girl were parking and listening to the car radio when an announcer broke into the program. A dangerous homicidal maniac had escaped from Allentown State Hospital. He had a hook for a hand. People were urged to call the police immediately if they saw him. The girl got scared and demanded that her boyfriend drive her home immediately. He did as asked.
He got out of the car and went to open the passenger side door. He looked at the handle in horror. Swinging from it was a hook.
Several years later, when I was a student at Moravian College, I did volunteer work with the, now closed, unit for hostile children. The hospital had no criminally insane patients and never did.
Another couple was parking. Again, they were listening to the radio and the announcer broke into the program. Another homicidal maniac was on the prowl. The boy tried to start the car, but it was out of gas. He said he would get gas and return, but she was to stay in the locked car and not open the door for any reason. She waited and waited. Then, she heard something scraping the car roof. She was terrified and hid on the floor of the car. The, she heard someone knock on the car window. She gathered the courage to look and it was a police officer. She rolled down the window to talk to him and he told her to get out of the car, walk to his patrol car and not look back. She did as he requested, but did look back. She saw her boyfriend's body hanging from the tree, swaying back and forth. The sounds she had heard were his feet scraping the roof of the car.
In the fall of 1986, my son James, was a student at East Stroudsburg University. He is one of the founding brothers of Delta Sig. Shortly before Hallowe'en, he told me a psychic was on the radio and predicted that on Hallowe'en, there would be a mass murder at a college in Pennsylvania whose name was the same as the city it was in. Most of our state universities are named for the town they are in. Of course, no one heard the psychic first hand. It was the anonymous friend of a friend. Or friend of a friend of a friend.... Well, James and his brothers would be ready, just in case it would happen. Hallowe'en came and went. No mass murders.
This one really flipped me out! Gave me the creeps!
Another homicidal maniac! They really get around, don't they?
There was a girl of about 16. Her parents were out of town and were delayed in getting home, so she would be alone that night. There was a homocidal maniac who escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane. Neither the girl nor her parents were worried about her safety because they had a Doberman who was an excellent watch dog and very protective of the family.
The girl went to bed, fell alseep, then woke up. She heard a splooshing sound from the bathroom and was a little scared. She put her hand by the side of the bed and felt comforted by the dog's licking her hand.
The next morning, she woke up and went into the bathroom. She was horrified to see the dog hanging from the shower curatin bar in the bathroom. Then, she looked at the medicine chest mirror and felt fear like she had never known. There, written in red lipstick were the words, "Humans can lick hands too."
There are variations on this legend, but this is the thrust of it.
Hope you enjoyed these.
Regards,
Jill
The face in the window
Urban Legend

I herd this one off a friend-
A young Canadian girl was at home alone one night when her parents
were out at a meeting.
She was 15 and so happy because it was the 1st time she was allowed
to stay at home without a sitter.
So this girl-lets say jenny-was watching a movie on the couch. It was
winter in Canada so it was cold, she tucked up in blankets and
started the movie.
Half way through she had to go to the toilet so she paused and left.
When she returned she sat back on the lounge and looked out the
window to see a man standing outside in the snow staring at her.
She pulled the blanket over her head and called 911 immediately and
waited scarred to death until the police arrived.
When they arrived they checked all around the house and found nothing
to say there was anyone outside the window. they went inside to give
jenny the results of their search and on the ground next to the
lounge a young officer noticed a puddle of icy water on the carpet,
he pulled jenny aside and when she calmed down he softly said that it
appeared the man was inside the house and she was looking at his
reflection!

I have heard that there is an old video recording from the sixties
(1967, I think)of rock singer Bob Dylan playing with blues legend
Robert Johnson.
I am told it was recorded during Bob Dylan's famous basement tapes but
the most amazing thing is that Robert Johnson died in 1938. So was Bob
Dylan playing with a ghost?

Morgan's Corner
Urban Legend
12/11/05
One night in late summer, a young couple drove to the corner to
engage in making out. The boy was in the driver's seat and the girl
was in the passenger's seat. That night, the weather was rainy and
humid. They had parked under a gigantic tree so that the car would be
a little more sheltered from the rain. It was already 11 pm when they
arrived. They had made out for a few hours and decided that it was
getting late and the best course of action would be to head back
home. However, when the boy started the car, the engine made funny
noises and refused to start. The boy went out to check the engine but
could find nothing wrong. He decided that he should walk into town
and go to the nearest gas station and ask for help. He told the girl
to wait in the car for him and that he would be back shortly. After
waiting for a while, the girl eventually got tired and fell asleep.
During the night, she awoke to the sound of rain dripping and the
scraping of branches on the roof of the car. She paid it no mind and
fell back asleep.
When she awoke, it was already the next day. The first thing she saw
was a police officer telling her to get out of the car. There were a
lot of police cars around the area and she wondered what happened.
She opened the door and the police officer pulled her out of the car
not letting her turn around. They asked her why she was out there and
what had happened. She told them how she and her boyfriend had made
out the night before and how the car would not start and that her
boyfriend had gone into town to get help. He then told her not to
look back. However, her curiosity got the better of her and she
decided to see what this was all about. When she turned around, she
was horrified. It was not the rain coming down on the car the night
before, but the blood of her boyfriend who had been hung above the
car. His wrists had been sliced and his body gutted from head to
groin. What she had thought were branches scraping on the car roof
were the fingers of her boyfriend blowing in the wind. His ankles had
been tied to the large branch that stood over the car. Rumor has it
that if you hug the trunk of the tree on which he was hung at
midnight and look up, you will be unable to let go, and will see the
boyfriend's face looking down at you from the treetops.

this truck drivers wife worked in Boston at the docks. And there was
this little dog that came by everyday. Every time the dog came around
she would feed him. One day when the woman came home from work she
asked her husband if the could get a dog. The husband was OK with it. So
the next day when the woman saw the little dog she lured it into her
car. When she got home she washed it, fed, and it slept in her bed. so one
day when she came home from work she found that her cat had been eaten
by the small dog. She saw a big blood spot on her rug. She called her
vet and the vet told her to bring the dog into the clinic because cat
bones are harmful to dogs. She waited outside while the vet did some
examinations. When the vet entered the waiting room he told her they
had to put the dog to sleep. When the woman asked why the vet
said "Because this thing is not a dog. Its a 40 pound Cambodian rat
that came off one of the ships." the rat looked big enough to be a
small dog.

Kris and I were at a drive in with our friends when we heard somebody cackling. We thought it was another car but it sounded like it was coming from ours! We turned the light on and searched the car but no one was there..or so we thought! We started to drive away but all of a sudden, Kris halted on the brakes. "What the..?" I cried. "There's a guy there!" She was right. A guy was in front of us with a butcher knife. He was grinning and cackling that same laugh. "RUN HIM DOWN!" our friend shouted. "No way!" Kris shouted. I called 911 on her cell phone and the cops came. By this time the guy ran away but as he did he said "I'll get all of you!" Then he ran off. The next day I heard that our friend had died. We were really scared and we told the police. They said not to worry but we did when we heard footsteps outside my house one day. That same cackle was there. "TOLD YOU SO!" He cried. Then he smashed the window with an ax and dove at Kris. She leapt up and socked him in the stomach but he swung and she fell to the ground all bloody. I ran into the kitchen and called the police but the guy chased me. I threw a knife at him and he ducked. The police came and he ran off again. A few months later I was visiting our friend's grave with Kris, who had just got out of the hospital. and we stood at the grave.
Then we heard the cackle..."I'M BACK!!!"

Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Urban Legend
10/13/06
I guess you could call this an urban legend, I just read the one the
girl wrote about the movie, yeah whatever, okay. So when my mom was
pregnant with my (1985) she lived with my dad in Niagara Falls, NY.
I'm guessing everyone remembers Leatherface, the guy that did most of
the killing in the family, well apparently when the cops did their
initial search of the house, nobody cleared it they just assumed that
he had died or whatever. But he was hiding in the tunnels that were
in the walls of the basement and he attacked the cops. So anyways,
the cops came back with Psychiatrists and had to sedate him to get him
out of the house. He spend like 15 years in a padded room and then
the doctors decided that he should reintegrate into society, so they
released him to a halfway house in Buffalo, NY in 1985. He would
have been around 40-45 years old at the time, and the town went into
an uproar, so the doctors had to come back to take him to the
hospital as a life-time patient seeming as no towns in Canada or the
US wanted him. When they entered his apartment to get him, he was
gone. Apparently he was never found, but there are how many missing
persons and chopped up bodies found in Canada and the US every year?

Wizard of oz
Urban Legend

My cousin told me that in a part of the wizard of oz there is a part where the creator hung himself in one of the stage trees. The part is when all of the characters are walking down the road, and in the "forest" you see something fly up that looks like a leg. And the creator IS dead. If you don't believe me, look in the forest of the wizard of oz!!!!!

One day there was a women who's wedding was the next day. She wanted to get really tan for her wedding so, she went to the tanning booth. There was a problem. She wanted to get really dark and the tanning booth people would only let her go tanning one time in a day. Since she couldn't go tanning again she went to every tanning booth in the city and in the last one she died. During the autopsy the doctors realized that she had totally FRIED her insides!!!

The Green Ribbon
Urban Legend

I heard this from a friend of mine.
There was a girl and boy who had grown up together through out high school. He was very questioning though about this green ribbon the girl wore tied around her neck but whenever he asked why she wore it, the girl would tell him, I'll tell you when the time is right.
Years later, the two were happily married. The boy fell deathly ill and was lying in the hospital bed, his wife seated besides him, the same ribbon tied around her neck.
"I think it's time for you to know why I must wear this my dear," The wife whispered and took her husband's hand, guiding it to the bow of the ribbon. The man gripped the soft silk gently and pulled it. It unraveled and the woman's head fell off!
It's said that the woman had been dead for a long time in the 1500's. She had been decapitated and her spirit found her head, tying it to her shoulders with a simple green ribbon waiting for the right person to find out...

The Poisonous Dress
Urban Legend

Once there was a lady who was shopping at a thrift shop. She was going to a retro disco that night and needed the perfect dress. She found a dress that really did seem perfect. She tried it on, and, finding out that it fit just right, bought the dress.That night, she was dancing at the disco and was the best dancer of the night with her beautiful dress. However, she started to get a little dizzy and felt like she was going to faint, even though she hadn't been drinking any sort of alcoholic drinks. Her date took her home, let her inside, and then drove away. She went into the bedroom and collapsed on the bed. A month later, the police eventually broke into her home because a neighbor had called and complained about an awful smell. The smell was the woman's rotting corpse. She had died on the night of the disco. The reason she had died was because the dress had previously been worn by a woman who had died of a heart attack. The man working at the morgue was so cheap that he had just taken off the dress and shipped it off to the thrift shop without even washing it! The woman had purchased the dress on the same day that it had arrived at the thrift shop. The germs from the rotting corpse had gotten all over the woman and had killed her!

Kuchisake-onna "Slit-mouthed woman"
Urban Legend
12/07/07
Its said that a beautiful maiden who lived in the Heian period (794-1185) was married to a noble samurai. A few years after their marriage, her husband accused her of cheating and slit her mouth from ear to ear thinking no one would find her beautiful again. Her vengeful spirit came back in modern times. She is said to target young school children. She walks up to a victim and asks him/her "Watashi kirei?" "Am I beautiful?" while wearing a surgical mask to hide her deformity. Usually the victim answers yes. Then she removes the mask, revealing her deformity, and repeats the question. If the victim tries to run away or says "no" she kills him/her. Sometimes, if it is a female victim, she might slit her mouth similar to her deformity with a pair of scissors or knife. Legend says that there are a few different ways to avoid death:
1. Saying "yes" after the mask is removed
2. Saying "so-so" or "average" after her mask is removed, causing her to think of what to do next which gives time for the victim to flee
3. Chanting "pomade" three times (some say its because her husband used it a lot)
4. Throwing an attractive item, usually candy or fruit.

A girl went to the park with her boyfriend for a picnic. While they were eating the boyfriend got a call from his mother, telling him there was a murderer on the loose right around where they were. The murderer was killing people by gutting them with a hook. The couple decided to pack up and come home immediately. When they tried to open the car to get in, they couldn't get it open. They looked inside the window, and they realized it was jammed... with a HOOK!

The Dance
Urban Legend

I've been told this story by my family for years. I've also heard it as an urban legend. But either way, he it goes.
The story takes place in the 1950's. My cousin went to a local dance where he meets a girl. They hit it off and dance the night way. When the dance ends, my cousin takes the girl home. It's cold so he give her his jacket to wear. He takes her home and walks to the door and kisses her cheek goodnight. He tells the girl that he will be by tomorrow to pick up his jacket.
The next day comes and he goes to the girls house to pick up his jacket. He rings the doorbell and the girls mother's answers the door. My cousin ask for the girl. The mother ask why are you asking for her. My cousin tells the mother that he meet her at the dance last night. The mother becomes upset and tells my cousin that this is impossible. My cousin ask why. The mother tells my cousin that the girl died a year ago yesterday. My cousin can't believe this. The mother tells my cousin where the girl is buried. My cousin goes to the cemetery and there on a headstone is his jacket. He takes the jacket off and reads the date. The girl indeed had died a year before.
