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! :)

Woman driving at night hits something in the road, gets out to have look, nothing there so continues her journey, however a car behind her keeps flashing it's lights at her for a few miles, worried she pulls into a petrol station to get help, but the driver gets out and calls over to her, he says I am so pleased you stopped now, when you got out before, a man got in your car and is laying down in the back seat.

Sends shivers down my spine every time! Good one for around a camp fire which is my test of a good ghost story.

Her DH was away with work, so my friend locked up as normal and went to bed.

In the middle of the night she was woken by a noise, but knowing that their big hairy dog would have made a fuss, she wasn't worried and put her hand down by the side of the bed to pat him, and recieved a reassuring lick, so she rolled over and went back to sleep.

The next morning she went into the bathroom, where she found the dog slaughtered, hung from the shower, and written in its blood on the mirror "Humans can lick hands too"

Killer in the back seat is a classic Smile

I like killer in the back seat and have heard so called true stories that happened to a friend of a friend. Often involving an abandoned pram at the side of the road.
What is shit the bed ?

Uppermid · 04/08/2012 21:39

My cousin had recently split up with his girlfriend, lots of drama and sadness and emotion flying around. He went off to Ibiza for the summer with the boys, she took herself off walking and wild camping in Austria.

She was away for two weeks and really got her head together, hardly spoke to a soul and enjoyed the solitude. She'd taken her phone for emergencies but barely turned it on, just left it next to her in the tent every night for reassurance.

When she got back home she was going through her emails and messages on her phone, and ended up in the gallery app to have one last look at her photos of my cousin before deleting them for good. They should've been the last pics taken, but there were about a dozen dark, grainy ones at the top of the gallery that she couldn't make out, they were too indistinct.

Intrigued, she copied them over to her computer and increased the light level. Her flatmate found her still at her desk hours later, sitting transfixed in front of 14 photos, all from a different night, each showing her fast asleep in her sleeping bag.
