    Also, the frequent "man in a white van" trying to kidnap a child. Gets plastered all over Facebook. You'd think paedophiles would know better than to buy white vans at this stage.

    White vans are very common vehicles and nondescript, used both personally and by a large range of businesses, and with an enclosed area so that a kidnapped child would not be seen.

    If I was in the kidnapping business, I'd buy a blue van. Throw them off the trail.

    There was a sheep eating beast on the loose. It has been described as follows:

    It has claws as big as cups.
    It has four ears, two for listening and two "are sort of back-up ears". Some might be on the inside of its head.
    It has a retractable leg so it "can leap up at you better".
    It has magnets on its tail, so "if you're made out of metal, it can attach itself to you"
    It lights up at night
    It has a tremendous fear of stamps
    Its yawn sounds like Liam Neeson chasing a load of hens around inside a barrel
    It has no mouth, but instead has four arses
    It only has eyebrows on Saturdays
    It lives "on the place where there should be moors"
    The locals think it is some sort of giant fox
    It makes a "terrible howling noise"
    It is the size of a jaguar [the cat not the car]
    It has got big white teeth, as sharp as knives




    You have been warned!! (Perhaps that is more of a rural legend?)

    But a blue van was seen in the area, now they'd find you a lot easier. Maybe just lay off the kidnappings to be safe.

    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......

    I think Stephen King wrote that one.

    That story was posted by a guy on Reddit. It was longer, more detailed and better written on Reddit too, while I'm being a douche.

    The bloke who brought a girl home after the nightclub, while his parents were away.
    Had his wicked way with her on the white couch, but she was a bit on the hammered side and she crapped herself, all over the couch.

    Bloke blamed the family dog when his parents saw the stain on the couch, and the dog was put down.



    That one's been around for donkeys.

    Can't remember it exactly, but there is one where a person (usually a girl) gets a cut (usually on the lip) while travelling in some exotic location, and after she gets home, there is a swelling, which then bursts and tiny spiders crawl out of it.

    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.:)
    Not in as dramatic a fashion but a fella from Michigan and another from indiana did try to do this.

    Also some European prostitute was in the news on trial for doing the same... I vaguely remember reading it but can't find anything about it.

    Babysitter phones the kids' father to ask can she cover up the life-size clown doll sitting in the bedroom, as it's freaking out the baby. Father says to grab the kids and get it of the house ... they don't have a clown doll!

    Doll turns out to be axe murderer/paedophile/whatever, dressed up as a clown.

    Meet a itinerant girl on a night out and went back to her caravan.
    Horse it into me boss, none of yer fancy stuff.
    That girl gets around, she's been with several people I know. They all left very early, afraid the several brothers would murder them


    A friend was on Bus Eireann leaving Limerick for Galway.
    Some dumb Yank commented about great Irish plaaning to put Bunratty so close to the main road.

    It wasn't a prostitute, it was a German girl band member, she deliberately tried to infect men with the virus. She was jailed I believe
