What ones have you heard and actually believed?

The obvious one is Marilyn Manson playing the specky kid Paul in the Wonder Years.

Also heard Tom Cruise didn't know there were cameras filming Interview with the Vampire, wouldn't rule that one out.

I used to believe that if you didn't drink an exact amount of water with ecstasy, you'd die.

My old secondary school used to be a convent, there was a old legend that a nun fell down the stairs and died, and that her ghost was haunting the old part of the building. Probably untrue, nuns weren't allowed to use stairs at the time.

A classic from twenty or so years ago.

This family went on hols and someone broke into their gaff but nothing was taken.

A few weeks after they got home from their hols, they had their photos developed and there were pics of their tooth brushes up someone's arse.

Another one I've heard doing the rounds.

A lady has a mentally-challenged brother who is very independent and lives in a trailer behind the woman's house so that he can live "on his own," but she can still watch him and make sure he is okay. Anyways, she walks to to house every day to check on him, except for on this one day, she couldn't because she had the flu. She calls him instead. He seems fine, but is very excited about the troll he caught. She figures him pretending and dismisses the idea. The next day, she feels better and makes the trip to his house. She hears a weird noise and asks her brother what the noise is. He tells her "It's the troll I caught." She hears the noise again, and begins to investigate. She opens up a large box and finds a "midget" tied up in several knots and ropes. She, of course, flips and releases the man. The man is now pressing charges against the mentally-challenged man.

I bet he copped on earlier but since she didn't cop it and he was havin' a right ol' time of it, he decided to finish the deed. Years of catholic upbringing saw him through. Fair play.

I know 3 people that claim they do the same lotto numbers every week, and the one time they didn't get them, the numbers came out.

Coincidence?

Never heard that one... But a mate in school once went to pinch a ciggy from his Ma's packet but she hadn't opened them... So he carefully opened the plastic and the box from the bottom and took one out and sealed it back up again... When his Ma opened them, she copped there was only 19. She wrote off to the company and complained. About a week later she received 200 and a letter of apology from the ciggarette company. 100% true story.

About 15 years ago there was a false campaign that a lot of people believed . If you collect X amount of these numbers from fag boxes there would be wheelchairs donated to charities ,

Wait, hold on, am I missing something.... If it happened while they were on holiday, then how did the breaker-inners (to use the technical term) take photos using the cameras they had took on holidays with them??

Prince/Marilyn Manson removing ribs how they can give themselves blow jobs

This is a disgusting Primary School myth. A Rainbow Kiss. Its when a man goes down on a women and sucks her period out, then kisses her and passes her period in her mouth. Then she will piss it out on you. We told the Sex ed teacher about it and she was horrified :pac:

Aaaaaaaaah wait, I misunderstood the poster - what he meant by 'gaff' was the holiday home.

Now that's a good prank.

And that's what makes it an urban legend as opposed to a true story.

And why would they have left their tooth brushes behind too?

- The case of someone walking in on a girl having her flange licked by the cat (to be fair, a cat would probably like the taste... but would probably also take a chomp :eek:)

- The "ghost" of a young boy, who had died in that building, being visible on Three Men And A Baby. It was actually just a scaled-down cardboard cut-out of Ted Danson
