Urban Legends.

it is horrid, but the writer really builds the tension.

it's like a mini tales of the unexpected.

The semen one reminds me of when I was a teenager at school. I was an absolute nerd and excluded from the general conversation but heard one of the slutty popular girls who'd recently done it with her boyfriend regaling all with her knowledge and experience, saying 'swallowing semen is really really good for you.' I remember looking at her and thinking "You twat."

I have a couple of Urban Style legends I think.

There's a couple and they are lost in the middle of now where its foggy and they know they have missed there hotel booking and won't make it that evening. So they decide to stop at the first place they find. A few miles later they see lights and a sign for a small farm style B and B. They decide to stop as they are both very tired and the fog is getting thicker. When they ring the bell the door is answered by a lovely old couple who show them to a lovely room, the decor is old fashioned no duvet just a coverlet, simple in style. The next morning the owner brings them up hot water from the well for washing and a cooked breakfast and later as they are preparing to leave asks them if they enjoyed their night. The couple say it was a lovely night and they had a great sleep and loved looking at the black and white photos and old papers and books in the drawing room. The owner smiles and wishes them well and shows them how to get back onto the right road. It is still foggy as they leave but they make good progress and reach there pre booked hotel within a few hours. When they arrive at their hotel they explain about getting lost and about staying at a lovely quaint B and B and could someone please tell them about the place they stayed and show them where it is on the map as they would like to stay again on their way home. The manager of the hotel is brought to them and on explanation of the evenings events suddenly goes pail and looks faint and says the B and B they stayed in was his Great Grandmas and was destroyed by fire killing all those who slept back in August 7th 1910 the only reason his Grandma survived was that she was studying in boarding school otherwise he would not be here today and that it was impossible for them to have stayed there, the women then produces the newspaper from her bag she had taken it as a souvenir the date on the paper is August 6th 1910 the day before the fire.

this IS a horror story that I read years ago that creeped me out, it was couple of pages in a compendium that my ma bought in M&S of all places ...I'd love to read it again and find out if the writer wrote anything else

The gist of it is

A single mother has escaped from her abusive, violent husband. She has set up home in a new area with her child, but the husband is still searching for her and wishes to take her child.

She wakes in the dead of night certain someone is in her room, certain he has found her and means her some harm. It is so dark she cannot see a thing but she hears breathing and senses someone creeping towards her. She listens as hard as she can to try and hear if the intruder has her child but all she hears is someone getting closer and closer to the bed.

She realises she has one chance to save herself and her child, straining to hear and struggling to judge the right moment she snatches up her heavy bedside light and brings it crashing down on the intruder beside her bed

As it connects she hears a single word as the body falls to the floor.

"Mummy....."

Even recounting this makes my neck prickle....I so want to know who the author was!!

What are the Silent Hill games?

yes, there's something horribly creepy about kids toys in inappropriate places or all beaten up. Ditto kids choirs singing... how can something so beautiful sound so frightening when accompanying a creepy film?

Thank you headfairy. I am genuinely freaked out by that!

Please someone click on that so I am not alone with my fear. i am actually to scared to go to the loo now and dh is out.

ooh Shrinking That doll looks like the girl in The Ring... creepy!

I'm just working my way through the Digital Spy thread, its great.

Lord I once had something in a curry that I first thought was a cardamom pod, but was actually a fag butt

<a class="break-all" href="http://evilladies.com/evilladies.com/wp-content/uploads/goth-doll.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">sorry but it's fucking terrifying

I just looked at reddit and have clicked on a picture of a scary doll. I nearly pissed my pants.

The stickman does creep me out it's the part about "he only exists when people think about him" that's wrong.

Other than that, things which aren't real don't worry me in the slightest.

The granny story was apparently two stories mixed up, so that's why it didn't make sense.

Where was the granny one sorted? The one explanation didn't really explain anything in my opinion.

digital spy thread Creepy! Sorry it's really long but there's some really freaky stuff in there!

Nan a photo you say?

The flight 401 legends are true. Theres a book called the ghost of
Flight 401. Written by actual personnel. It's out o print but sometimes pops up on amazon. I stupidly lent mine out years ago.

How could I forget my friend who got a burger from KFC and when he bit into it a big chicken tumour burst and pus ran down his chin :o
