1. Bloody Mary - Sandusky, Ohio

It's said that Mary lives deep beneath the waters of Sandusky Bay, waiting to steal the body parts of young women. We all know the tale about standing in front of a mirror in the dark and saying her name three times, but this is a different legend. The story claims that she fell in love with a young man and when she failed to win him over, she turned to black magic. She lured him to the bay using a beautiful doll she had created by collecting the best body parts from women she had killed. When he fell to his death in the icy waters below, she jumped in after him.

Dumbest urban legend I ever heard is that Biden legitimately won the 2020 election.

Next to dumbest urban legend I ever heard is that Jan 6 was an insurrection.

After that, well, lots of talk about Nannie Pelosi as a sentient being, Chuckie Schumer as human, George “Stab her in the belly” Floyd as a saint, and Barry Obama as a US citizen. Oh, and global warming. Heard a bit about that, too.

Dunno. Lot’s a crazy stuff out there.

There is a “Llorona” (actual correct spelling) movie. I think Netflix has (or had) it. Or Prime. Or Freevee.

One-armed serial killer on lovers’ lane.

Scraping sound on side of car.

Take off like a bat out of Hades.

When you get home there is a pirate’s hook hanging from your door handle.

There were two guards that simultaneously fell asleep while watching a sex criminal named Epstien. They were fired from the prison job and both got jobs with white house security...

The Steps to Hell at the Maltby, WA cemetery is one I’ve heard of, having grown up in that area. The Maltby Cemetery has long been abandoned, but it was a well know kegger location.

I prefer the urban legends, of Elvis, Jim Morrison, and Andy Kaufman faked their deaths.

Are you implying that they didn’t?

Yet we still live with the fallout of 1.

Constant hand-wringing about checking your candy and not taking anything homemade.

In my day there was always a house where the Green Man lived. He had turned green from being electrocuted, and you dared not trick-or-treat at his house.
