Urban Legends.

Naice ham monster is the one responsible for the bizarre online shop substitutions.

Shadowmen scare me more than anything. They're the reason I won't go out after dark!

And takes all the P&C spaces

The naice ham monster follows people around super markets eating their grapes before they are paid for.

Stickman/Slender Man is a lot less scary when you read this. I reckon we should try making up our own urban myth to see how far it gets. Naice Ham Monster, anyone?

The stickmen and dolls don't scare me, its the psycho's and killers that get me.

rainydaysarebad i thought exactly the same thing when i read that stickman story, it's exactly the same one as someone posted on here! That's the story that originally freaked me out

still scares the shit out of me though even though it's not true!

EEeeeek! I was going to take my dog for an early morning walk but it's not light enough after reading all of those!

Why oh why did I read this thread? I'm pooing myself and its daylight On my own with dd2 and I need a wee but don't wanna go upstairs That friggin doll The dripping tap one has terrified me since I was a kid, the clown and killer reflection story are new so thanks for that! can't stop reading or clicking the links tho

Did you hear about the couple who check into a run-down motel and have to put up with a foul odour in their room all night. They call the staff the next morning to complain and between them they figure out the stench is coming from the bed.

They're wondeirng if the last guest did something really unsavoury on the mattress. But, no, the staff take off the matress and discover the couple has been sleeping over the rotting body of a dead girl who had been stuffed in the box spring.

Ok, so I have just read Wolf's post and am crapping myself already. Before I read any further I am counting off how many days are left before DH is back on night shift!

I am working my way through the DS thread trying to find the stickmen pic but I keep getting distracted by loads of other great stuff. When I find it I will post.

Molepom - sorry! That doll is the devil's work. I did say it was a doll in the previous post but should have been clearer. A bit of me wants to look at it again. Or post the link on my facebook page.

whatkungfuthat my arm just itched! Argh! Loving terrified by this thread! Why is the concept of Stickmen so scary? What the heck are they?! Are they the ones from that new Jessica Biel movie 'The Tall man'? Trailer freaked me out! Actually, so did 'The Mothman prophecies'...too weird!

Just read this on the Digital Spy thread:

"There is no such thing as a simple 'itch'........let's be quite clear, you have been taught wrong. The teaching and theory behind how itching is tied up with nerves etc is a lie.

Every time in your life when you have felt the need to rub or touch away an itch is because you have been scratched by the dead! They are totally all around you, you are enveloped by them. It is also a very unfriendly act.

Someone earlier said that if ghosts do exist they have never harmed anyone. At the very least that should have been worded they have never been 'seen' to harm people. The main reason that, on the whole, we are not harmed is because there is a considerable gap in their ability to transfer force.

However, be aware and feel greatly disturbed whenever you feel an itch. Be it your scalp, ear, nose, arm, leg or wherever, as you itch you are at that very moment being subjected to contact by a very angry and vile entity."

Re semen. Now I'm really confused. What's all this about swallowing it? I thought you were supposed to rub it in.

These are great!!

My MIL is Queen of the email urban myth (we suspect she was a Nigerian spammer in a former life). If her emails are to be believed the Fleet Services on the M3 are the most dangerous place in the UK- awash with gangs looking for people to kidnap and involve in "initiations".

Loving this thread.. But only in daylight

I love urban legends - my dad used to tell them as if they had happened to him in the 70s. My favourites were the vanishing hitch-hiker and the killer in the back seat. The only one he used to tell that hasn't already come up here was supposed to have been about my granddad, who was a bit of an eccentric and a hoarder:

Granddad was driving home one summer evening in the late 70s when he spotted a microwave lying abandoned at the side of the road. No on he knew had a microwave yet and this one was obviously broken, but Granddad was good with machines and liked to see how they worked so he pulled over, nabbed the microwave and took it home. He got home and was looking at the microwave, a bit mystified about how it worked as it was of a completely unusual design, when there was a knock at the door. He answered and there were two policemen asking why he had stolen their new speed camera.

I used to see shadow people in the back of my car, always when driving at night on the M62. It was a figure in a hood sitting in my Ford Fiesta. Clearly something about the shadows cast in that particular car and the fact that the M62 between Ferrybridge and Hull is usually particularly quiet, so allowing my mind to play tricks. I was fooled though and a couple of times pulled over to check!

Another freaked out person here...

Was also going to say Eastern 401 is true. I heard it was the crew trying to warn other aircrews not to fall into the same trap they did.
