I know I've been hogging the boards the last few days, but I don't care :P Just been curious on other peoples opinions on things.

I didn't know where to put this, so I apologise if it's in the wrong category.

I was wondering what everyones favourite Urban Legend/Cautionary Tale was. I have been fascinated in them for pretty much forever, due to so many meanings and of course expressing the nations fears.

So what are your favourites? Feel free to share the UL with us! :)

There was an episode of May The Best House Win recently where one of the contestants had a really gothic house stuffed full of those zombie dolls like the pic posted above.

Again, sorry about the doll still having nightmares

That Digital Spy thread that someone linked to earlier had a great story that was gradually added to as the poster asked relatives for more info, about a house she lived in when she was a teenager. Sadly she stopped posting after a couple of snarky comments about it being made up. I didn't care either way as it was fab.

I love this thread!

EauRouge - is that a stick man movie of julia donaldson axel scheffler's book? Or an actual scary stick man movie?

I told some of these urban myths to family the other day and they went down really well. I made out they were true stories Grin.

whatkungfuthat · 09/08/2012 19:04

Yes, to kill herself. It said the oven starting shaking on the video so I stopped reading!

perplexedpirate · 09/08/2012 19:03

Into the oven? Like, to cook or to kill herself?

I don't think I get that one. I think this is my favourite ever thread though. Grin

BlackOutTheSun · 09/08/2012 19:02

There is no fucking way I'm watching anything to do with dolls! I even had to hide dd's when she is in bed because the freak me out

whatkungfuthat · 09/08/2012 19:00

The worst one I read was a horrible one about a house that had a video recorder set up on a tripod in the kitchen but no tape. A tape was later found down the dry well and showed the woman climbing into the oven. Horrible.

BlackOutTheSun have you see the youtube clips about Robert the Doll?

BlackOutTheSun · 09/08/2012 18:54

Oh ffs just been looking back through the thread trying to find the link to DS. Only to click back onto that fucking doll again!

What were the stories Whatkungfuthat

whatkungfuthat · 09/08/2012 18:44

The face didn't appear straight away when I read it, it must have some sort of random generator as some people on Digital Spy said it just wobbled a bit. I have asked MNHQ to put a warning on the linky

BlackOutTheSun · 09/08/2012 18:42

Didn't get chance to read the stories Grin had that fucking face appear and shat myself

whatkungfuthat · 09/08/2012 18:40

Blush sorry

whatkungfuthat · 09/08/2012 18:39

Sorry Lord I should have put a warning up, some of the stories are awful too.

BlackOutTheSun · 09/08/2012 18:37

Thanks for the warning Charmingly I am 6 weeks pregnant I am sure shock can cause problems as much as stress I hate jumpers!

Now shock videos on the other hand...

Oh and check out my PSA and scary advert thread as some of those are pretty creepy too.

Yes, its a list of stories but a face does appear. I got it from another forum and I think it varies in what it does. There is no sound though.

CharminglyOdd · 09/08/2012 16:30

Oh god whatkungfu, that was horrible! I don't even want to look at my screen now in case it happens again.

EauRouge · 09/08/2012 15:45

There is a stick man movie coming out soon. Not based on the book.

KungFu, is that link one of those ones that suddenly turns into a monster and goes raaah? I hate those. I'm not clicking if it's one of those.

whatkungfuthat · 09/08/2012 15:41

Well, I got to the end of the Digital Spy thread. The pics where of the slender man rather than the lolloping stickman figure but they are still scary, even though I think they are a viral ad campaign for a movie.

whatkungfuthat · 09/08/2012 15:39

Sorry Blush Grin

maytheoddsbeeverinyourfavour · 09/08/2012 15:26

Fucks sake whatkungfu! That just scared the bloody life out of me, my DH has just ran up the stairs to see why I screamed Blush Grin

readyforno2 · 09/08/2012 15:07
