Question by Gaby E: Favorite myth or urban legend?
I personally love food urban legends like..

sloppy joes are named after a man, Joe, who killed his wife, cut her up, and served her on a bun…

KFC uses mutant chickens;no legs, beaks, blah blah blah…

..I also like the one that says that “cabbage pach kids” are what babies will look like after another atomic bomb

what’s yours?

  6. sorry, i dig the fact elvis was a practically immortal mutant human who was attacked by alien vampires in the early 70s…. then switched places with his “dead twin brother” who was adopted at birth… and now he roams around from place to place trying to keep on with life without being discovered… worried folks will figure out something was amiss and sooner or later folks will wonder who this guy is and why he’s not aged one bit… and why jesse presley is in elvis’ grave…

    ding!

  11. I love horror story ones.
    My favorite is “People have tounges too”

    There was once an old lady who lived by herself in a little home out in the country. Her nearest neighbors were a mile away. The old lady had very bad eyesight and hearing so she had trained her dog to help her. If she heard a noise in the middle of the night, she’d put down her hand, if the dog licked it once, the noise came from outside, if he licked it twice it was from inside. One night, while she was sleeping, the old lady heard a noise. She stuck down her hand and it was liked once. Outside. She fell back asleep. About an hour later she hears another noise. She sticks down her hand. One lick. She goes back to sleep just to hear yet another sound a couple hours later. Starting to worry, she puts down her trembling hand..Two licks. Inside. The old lady gets out of bed, shaking and investigates the house. She goes out into the hallway, walks into the living room, the kitchen, checks all the closets. Nothing. Finally she arrives at the bathroom. She opens the door and hears water dripping from the shower. She pulls aside the curtain to find her dog ripped open and hung from the showerhead by its own intestines. From behind her comes a voice, “People have tounges too.”

  13. I’ve only heard about this one recently, but…..

    The Third Man. Apparently, more than a few times, whenever there’s been a disaster and someone’s trapped (the first man) and they’re talking to someone on a cell phone and/or on the scene (the second one)….often times a mysterious “third man” will show up silently who isn’t rescue personnel, that nobody’s even seen before, to rescue the first and/or second man. It’ll be someone coming through the smoke, out of the dark, and they silently lend a hand and lead the way *out*.

    Apparently there were at least a *dozen* Third Man incidents just during 9-11 alone, in the Towers.

    Some people think the Third Man is God. Almost everyone agrees the Third Man isn’t ordinary rescue personnel.

    It does make you wonder. Nobody’s really got a good look at the Third Man–it’s almost always in the dark or in smoke, when he appears sight unseen.
