Best urban legend you ever heard

Was driving in some random part of American and saw a body lying in the road. Slowed down but felt nervous so didn't stop to help. Looking in the rear view mirror saw the person get up off the road and about 20 others appeared from the side of the road. God only knows what would've happened......

Yeah, reminds me of the time Vincent Hanley died. An eye condition killed him was what the tv reported
Irish men weren't gay back then, and certainly didn't die of aids dontcha know.

Had to google him, before my time. Poor guy looked so sick.

I can't imagine the stigma back then.:(

If you're asleep in a tubful of ice, the hypothermia isn't going to wake you up!

I remember another one my granny loves. Girl goes on holidays and has sex with another holidaymaker every night for two weeks. As she leaves for the airport, he gives her a gift wrapped package and tells her to open it when she gets home.

On arrival home (like anyone would wait that long) she opens said package and inside is a miniature coffin, and inside of that is a note bearing the greeting:

"Welcome to the world of AIDS"

I think this probably did the rounds in the '80's when HIV was the boogeyman under the bed, it's the kind of shocker that my gran loves to repeat in the hope it'll keep everyone pure.:)

Reminds me of the woman who was dating an undertaker. She got a rash and went to the doctor. Turns out the rash/disease she had could only be contracted by sleeping with dead people.

Marilyn Manson was in the wonder years is a good one. Also the same man threw a puppy into the crowd at a concert and demanded they kill it. Also had a rib removed so he could give himself a blowie.

Who comes up with these?!

Also a brothers girlfriends friend had a pet snake, and let it sleep in her bed, noticed it wasn't eating for a few days, just lying straight beside her in the bed. Went and asked the vet who said the snake was starving and stretching itself out so it could eat her. I believed it at first too!

The one with the lice/parasite/general disease that can only inhabit dead bodies is a good one.

It's possible even without taking a rib out. You're just not trying hard enough!

Oh I heard that one too!

Stomach turning because it's remotely possible, even if it is total BS.

Ice cream vendors were drug dealers was one when we were children in the 70s. This was in Canada mind, and they were teenagers mostly on bikes with the freezer boxes attached. And the crocodiles in the sewers was another. Also remember the scares about men in white vans.

Reminds me of couple X had their wedding booked, then were offered a huge sum of money to change the date. They obliged and the Beckham's got married in that hotel on their original date... heard that one so many times I can only assume there's more than one extremely wealthy David and Victoria Beckham out there.

Paddy that's more like a scare at bedtime rather than an urban myth

Its only possible if the Undertaker himself is dead.

One I've only recently heard that's bs is the one where you shouldn't go swimming for an hour after eating. Seems it doesn't matter a jot.
Makes sense when you see all these endurance swimmers eating on the go as they cross the channel or beiring straight or whatever.

Also, teenage girls used to be scared witless of going into the water if they were on their period.
It seems fanny eating sharks lurked all over this island just waiting for a bite to eat

Yeah heard this one dozens of times. Mostly it was Tiger Woods paying for the whole hotel for him and his entourage

They aren't known for being the life and soul of the party, so I can see how you could make the mistake.;)

This fella from down the country went in to a brothel in Dublin. The madam asked him did he want the red, green or black room. He choose the black room. When he went inside it was pitch dark. He found the bed and the hooker and done the deed. On the way out the Madam asked his was everything alright. 'She was a very quiet and her nose kept running'. As he left the brothel he heard the Madam call out, bring another body in to the black room, that one's full' :eek:

Shane-KornSpace · 22-09-2013 11:59PM

A girl I worked with told me the one about the snake in the bed.
She said it was her friend that it happened to.

I LOVED pointing out her lie :-)

BillyMitchel · 23-09-2013 12:00AM

The snake one always amuses me. The sewers of New York are infested hundreds of crocs. Also full of weed plants from people flushing it down the toilet.

Surely people must know that the only thing living down there is 4 green turtles.
