October: Urban Legends Challenge

Urban legends are the modern day version of folktales. The word 'urban' in the name, is rather misleading as the tales do not always take place in or around prominent cities. The stories, probably truer in nature to legends of old than most would believe, use fear as a means to teach the listener a lesson or, perhaps more accurately, to scare them out of certain behaviors.

⇉ Read one urban legend from below. Repeat as desired.
⇉ All media formats allowed.
⇉ Rereads are fine as long as you read the entire book.
