just saw a pretty fascinating TV program on TLC about Urban
Legends, some of which i've heard, some not! the program
stated that the more specific details, the more likely the
Legend is to be believed. thats why some last for
decades....and many people who hear them believe them to be
true....and SOME are rooted in fact. =o)

what is the strangest one you've heard?!?!?

the ODDEST one i heard this evening which includes what most
expert believe to be the GREATEST phobia, the fear of
SNAKES!

a woman goes to Burlington Coat Factory and tries on a coat
and gets bitten by BABY SNAKES which have hatched in the
coat, in the legend the patron usually dies, but sometimes
they live and sue the store. ehhehehe

anyone heard this one?

snopes.com is a brilliant site for fans of urban legends

i haven't heard that coat story before.. seems so unlikely!

don't remember that one about the snakes, but i saw most of
that program and it was pretty interesting.
you really have to wonder about the accuracy of most of
those stories though.. many of them are about leading
companies/places of business, so it would be very likely
that a competitor started those rumors to scare away
customers..

ohhhh really!

i'm glad cos i'll be sure to watch out for when it comes on
again.

it was a story on this episode -

a woman rushes her dog to a vet cos he seems to be choking.
the vet tells her she needs to operate and tells the woman
to go home and check for what he might have eaten. on the
operating table the doctor finds THREE human fingers in the
dogs throat. she calls the owner and tells her there may be
someone in her house. the owner calls the police and they
find the burgler LESS three fingers in her closet. THIS WAS
A FAKE URBAN LEGEND! =0)

errrrrr sick ones??? yuck! but tell me anyway!!!

ehehhe

on the show was this professor of folklore who talked a lot
about why specific elements are included in urban
legends......it plays upon our FEARS, race fears, phobia's,
and the like.....it's really interesting how they get
started and perpetuated throughout the world.

i wanna hear some EUROPEAN urban legends

my favourate is about a couple who go on holiday and after
the first day they notice that there room gets broken into
but nothing is stolen. the holiday goes well without
anything strange apart from the couple having sickness from
a stomach bug. upon returning home and getting thier holiday
photo's developed they notice that in the photos there as
some shots of strangers in thier hotel room sticking the
couples toohbrushes up thier asses!

i dont know if this is true but its good anyway

once there was this woman in the us who bought a lobster for
sexual pleasure
as the tale goes she put the lobster in her pussy tail first
and the lobster tried to fight this and in doing so thrashes
it tail violently and gives the woman pleasure
now a few days later she fell ill with stomach pains and a
few days after that she was found dead on her toilet
apparently what killed her was the lobster larve (spelling)
hatching in her vagina and tearing up inside because the
lobster shot out all of its unborn eggs during the whole
pussy moment
when the police turned up there was hundreds of little
lobsters in the toilet and a few of the officers threw their
gut up

hope that read well :D

urban legend tells of a man, a fat bearded man, with a
fetish for happy children. This man, so the story goes,
waits untill late at night, in the winter and breaks into
the homes of sleeping children. He enters through the
smokestack carrying a large burlap sack full of suspicious
packages. some of these packages he stuffs into the socks
of the sleeping children. then he leaves, again through the
smokestack, not to return untill the same night the very
next year.

In some versions of this legend, he flies around in a red
cart pulled by ruminent mammals. In other versions, he
rides a magic canoe.
