Fiend Grrl EVILDRAGONs Fiance DARK PRI...'s blog: "Urban Legends & Ghost Stories"

A girl went back to her dorm room late one night to retrieve her books before heading over to her boyfriend's dorm to spend the night. She entered the room but knowing her roommate would be sleeping, she didn't turn on the light. She stumbled around the room in the dark for several minutes gathering what she would need before finally leaving. The next afternoon, she came back to her room to find it surrounded by police. When asked if she lived there, she replied that she did. The police took her into the room where she discovered the mutilated body of her roommate and, written on the wall in blood, the words "Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the light?"

Berlin, 1945. The destruction from WWII has been terrible and famine is rampant in the city. A pretty, young female is approached by a blind man holding a cane, whoasks if she would mind delivering a letter for him. Happy to do the poor fellow a good turn, she takes the letter and starts off but happens to turn around, only to see the "blind" man scurrying away, his cane and glasses discarded. Naturally becoming suspicious, she summons the police and sends them to the address the man had given her. There they make a gruesome discovery - a processing plant has been harvesting and selling human human meat to the sttarving citizens! And the letter our heroine had been asked to deliver? It contained but a single sentence: "This is the last one I am sending you today."

A pair of youngsters are out for a romantic drive, when their car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. The boy decides to hike for help, leaving the girl behind with the car. Hearing a radio report that a crazed madman is on the loose, she locks the doors and crouches down in her seat, so as not to be seen. As time passes and her lover does not return, she begins to worry. Things only get creepier when she hears a hideous scraping sound on the roof of the car. This continues until she is nearly in hysterics. Fortunately, a police car drives up and recues her. The officer who escorts her from the car warns her not to turn around. Of course, she does - and sees her boyfriend's body hanging upside-down from a tree, his throat cut and his fingernails scraping across the car roof as he sways in the wind.

Two young boys were hiking through the forest one day and decided to stop and have a drink from a small stream they came upon. They were badly frightened by a snake nest that lay by the water and ran home. A year later, one of the boys had to be hospitalized. Plagued by stomach cramps, he complained of constant hunger and was unable to gain weight. The doctor pumped his stomach and found a fully grown snake coiled inside!

Back when girls wore beehive hairdos, one girl was famous for having the highest beehive of all the girls in her high school. Because it took so long to create, she just never took it down to wash or comb it and instead put copious amounts of hairspray in it so it would stay put. One day while she was sitting in class, blood began to trickle down her forehead. She was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival. At some point a spider had laid eggs in her hair and the baby spiders that hatched had begun eating her brain!

One of the Ball brothers, of the canning jar empire, had a paralyzing fear of being buried alive. He went as far as having a telephone installed in the tomb so he could call out if he should ever find himself in this predicament. A few days after he died, the family began to grow concerned after repeated attempts to reach his wife proved unsuccessful. They call the house but found that the phone line was continuously busy, so they decided to go over and make sure that everything was ok. Upon entering the home, they found her dead on the floor, clutching the phone with a look of sheer terror frozen on her face. At her funeral, the family discovered that the phone inside the crypt where her husband was buried was off the hook.

Twomen were driving down the highway one night when they saw a lovely young girl standing by the side of the road shivering. They stopped to offer her a ride and lend her an overcoat. She thanked them and showed them the way to her house. After dropping her off, the men discovered they had forgotten to take back the overcoat. Wanting to make sure the girl was ok and get the coat back, the men stopped by the girls house the following morning. Her mother answered the door and informed the men that her daughter had died in a car accident years ago and took them to her gravesite as proof. Theer, neatly folded lay the overcoat from the night before.

A man and wife were driving late one night when a woman who appeared to be injured flagged down their car. She claimed she had been in a car accident and her baby, who was still alive, was trapped in the car. The man told her to wait with his wife and he'd see what he could do. He got to the car and found a couple, obviously dead in the front seat and a baby crying in a car seat. He cut the baby loose and returned to his own car. When he got there, the woman was gone. he asked his wife where the woman had gone and she replied that she'd followed him to the scene of the wreck shortly after he left. He left the baby with his wife and went back to the car to find her. When he got there he realized the woman who'd flagged him down lay dead in the front seat.

A couple had just moved into a small castle they had recently purchased and were excitedly searching all the nooks and crannies. In a large underground room, they discovered many empty barrels that had been tapped years ago and one still appeared to be full. They immediately tapped it and found that it contained a delicious brandy. They drank the hundred-year-old brew and even served it to their guests at parties. Months later, after the barrel had run dry, they tried to lift it and noticed that it was still too heavy to be empty. Curious as to what could be making the barrel so heavy, they cut it up only to make the grizzly discovery of a shriveled corpse curled up in the barrel!

A woman licked an envelope in a local post office and cut her tongue. After several days, the spot where she'd been cut began to swell. Feeling nervous, she went to see a doctor. The doctor cut open the swelled area and out climbed a cockroach - there had been cockroach eggs on the envelope she had licked!!
