Okay, so I have been really getting into that TV show "Supernatural" and I have seen a few episodes based of famous urban legends. One was "Bloody Mary", a popular one when I was into preteen sleepovers. There was a local one where I am from about a "Bunnyman bridge" http://historicclifton.org/BunnyMan.htm.
What is everyone's fav urban legend? Does anyone have a local story "you swear is true".

I live about 2 miles from there and go through the Trinity River bottom all the time. Screaming Bridge is true.......to an extent. The screaming that you're hearing is from the fans at a motorcross track down in Mosier Valley. You can't see the track from the road though.

Here in Denison,TX, we have a road locally referred to as "Monster Road". Story has it, young couple out necking, madman comes up from under abridge and kills them both. Apparently Google thinks it's true because even they show it as "Monster Road".
Do a Google Search for "Monster Road" and it should turn up the ill famed road or click HERE (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=Square+Dance+Rd,+Denison,+Grayson,+Texas+75021&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=38.690438,107.138672&ie=UTF8&cd=1&geocode=FeaQAgId6wY_-g&split=0&hq=&hnear=Square+Dance+Rd,+Denison,+Grayson,+Texas+75021&z=16)

The top of the top, Betty and Barney Hill, the folks that have had movie and books written about them. Interrupted Journey for all you UFO fans.
Everyone in town knew these people Betty was town Librain and Barney a mail man. Salt of the earth folks, no possible way they would pull a prank or have access to radiation found on their car.
Then there was 15 miles south a small town Exeter N.H. that caused John Fuller to write Incidence at Exeter. Another UFO mystery that involved the chief of police a former Air Force pilot and a few of his town cops.
Back in the 1960's Rt. 128 into Boston was filled with government labs and the Aerodynamic industry. Most of us north of there wondered if the sightings were government experiments.
Pease Air Force Base was here back then and for a few years we all wondered why there were more and more planes scrambled at all times of the day and night. The noise from that base I believe was called a SAC base was as bad as the noise from the runways in HONOLULU, one never got use to minutes of quiet and then a full 60 seconds of thunder from the Sky's.
Urban Legions aside, something was going on back then that made people and military authority very jumpy.

In our locale, it was called "Goon Road". Couple run out of gas, he goes for help, she hears noise brushing cartop, gets out and finds him hanged above car.

How do Fred and Wilma feel about that?

I know that now. ::) I grew up in North Arlington, and used to run through the bottoms all the time to go to school. But as an impressionable yoot, that place was darned scary at night. (added scary bonus was breaking curfew to go out there.)

We have the infamous Bray Road Beast!
Or as I like to call it, story started by two screwing teens in a car who were scared by a hairy drunk one time... :-)

We have Spook Hill over in Lake Wales.
Located in Lake Wales, FL (about 50 miles south of Disney World) is Spook Hill. Legends abound regarding this landmark. Known as a magnetic hill, anti-gravity location or simply a "gravity hill" (there are hundreds around the world) a car, placed in neutral, will appear to roll uphill. Before the age of automobiles, horses would supposedly struggle to go downhill. The town embraces and officially recognizes the hill's curious properties.
Legends say that an Indian chief battled an alligator that had been terrorizing the local village. The fight was apparently so intense that both combatants died, on top of the hill. The legends are split as to whether it is the chief or the alligator's spirit that haunts the hill. In reality neither chief nor alligator are responsible for the hill's anti-gravity properties, but like all other anti-gravity spots is the result of a peculiar optical illusion.

We have two supposedly haunted theaters in town, the Lincoln and the Avon, both were opened in 1916, and still have some limited usage today. Every Halloween, some group holds a sleepover at the Lincoln.

There was also a story about a girl from a rival middle school that um "did it" with a hot dog. Supposedly she was so shamed by this, she had to be homeschooled.

Did you hear about the guy in the early 70s who went to the disco in pants that were too tight and he passed out on the dance floor? When the paramedic came, they took off his pants and apparently had a kielbasa strapped to his leg. :lmao:
A friend from work was telling me the story as if it was earth shattering news and I started laughing.
I mean who would waste a good kielbasa? Bologna I can understand. :lmao:
