I live in Arizona, and there's a strange but true story here that has been passed around as an urban legend. In 1982, two guys named David Grundman and James Joseph Suchochi drove out into the desert to do some target shooting. They began shooting at saguaro cacti with their shotguns, an act which is actually illegal, since saguaros are a protected species. After shooting up a 26 foot tall cactus, a four foot arm broke off of the plant and fell on Grundman, killing him. The story actually had a song written about it, "Saguaro" by the Austin Lounge Lizards.
When I was in college I worked as a firefighter/paramedic and got to go on a call to remove a man from inside a houses walls. He was trying to break in to the neighboring apartment from the attic to and fell into the crawl space breaking his arms getting stuck. He was there for 24 hours until the woman who apartment bedroom he was trying to rob heard him and called the police panicking.
What about the fact that there are numerous people who check into hotels just to end it all. Some researchers believe these people don't want to die alone or at least want to be found shortly after they go.
The one about the Leg could easily be explained if you look close enough. The leg looked like a water spot. As for the Halloween candy, both of those incidence was found to be not true
There are some Urban Legends that hold a shred of truth, like the 27 Club, Okiku, etc. that's why I don't really mess with Urban Legends, but I'm so addicted to know more.
I knew the teen in 90s that they mentioned in #17 Halloween Hangman. I had went to school with him since Kindergarten. His name was Aaron Starrett and he was 15 when he passed in 1998. He was practicing a trick for Halloween to where it would look like he was hanging but the trick went wrong when he slipped and noone was around to help him. I remember finding out about it from my grandmother
When I was a kid, I almost took a header down an escelator. My mom had her hands full with my siblings. Fortunately a complete stranger grabbed me by the collar. To this day If I go down an escalator, I have to look up otherwise I get vertigo.
Check your shoelaces I learned that the hard way. My shoe was fine but the lace, not so much. Tore in half shredded it. Scared me at the time. Swore I was going to lose a foot
Lots of owners of Japanese dolls think that the hair grows due to a ghost living in the doll. What is probably happening is that someone is stroking the hair, which stretches it and makes it appear to have grown. I don't know if that is happening with the Okiku doll though.
My son lives in Bucksport (#13) and I live in Manitowoc (#4) and have been to both sites. The hotel was quite infamous in the 70’s as a flophouse for drug addicts.
i’m annoyed at people who say “urban legends that turned out to be true” or “unsolved mysteries” and then mix in total bs in there like supernatural stuff and aliens. i get that aliens exist, but i don’t think they’d even care enough to bother us, plus i bet all the supernatural stuff going on can easily be explained by people just manipulating things behind the scenes or people seeing or hearing things when there isn’t anything there
Every Halloween do a candy check right when you get home. It weeds out the bad stuff quickly. I’ve never had a problem with candy as I personally look through and people I’m with double check. I get occasional toy surprise but nothing really bad. Also a couple of houses are actually marked certain signs and police cars or whatever. Basically we don’t even go to those. These are houses police are watching usually because the kids are out and these are marked for a certain reason. But they are low level dangerous people though on that scale but police still keep an eye out. I switched to just handing candy out because I don’t really want to go out anymore. But I make sure the candy is safe by using ziplock bags and the candy isn’t tampered with.
I have always been scared to death of escalators since I was younger and would get so much anxiety if we were going somewhere where we would have to use one. I usually put up enough of a fuss that one of the adults would accompany me to the elevator but even as an adult, I hesitate right before getting on the escalator and it always takes me a few seconds to gather the courage to hop on!
@@taytmw18 Hmm maybe, but if a movie or show is based on something that happened in my opinion that's basically turning facts into an urban legend, either way I would have mentioned it but oh well maybe it's just semantics haha
Where i live (it's a small unknown town in California) we have something called Hell's gate and gravity hills off an area in the hill areas of mountain parts. It's off of empire. The tail was about a school bus full of kids died in a tagic crash and when you put your car in neutral and put baby power on the trunk area and around the plate, you will feel the car moving slowly up the hill and when it stops, you obviously put your car in park, and you'll see little hand prints on the car.
Scream Queen 👑 This isn't an Urban Legend but I do have some interesting things to say about Dahmer (referencing how my Man ♂️ Evan Peters played him. 1st off I was 15 and in highschool Dahmer was caught July 22 thats my birthday. So after I 1st saw the Mini-series. Evan got me Dahmer's actual handcuffs that R from that opening 🪟 scene. Then he got me Jeffrey Dahmer's Urn ⚱️ with his actual ashes inside last year.
In Bulgaria we have a mythical creature names the Talasam. Nowadays the Talasam is known as a bad spirit but the original myth (from probably the 50s or 60s) was of strange creatures roaming around abandoned buildings. This may be inspired by the hobos and drug addicts who live in the abandoned buildings. Currently there are still people living in abandoned buildings. There are videos of teenagers exploring those buildings and getting chased by someone.
And another area in California we have the demon tree or the oldest tree. My older brother said he peed on it and he said the tree felt angered. He described it as having faces on it that were naturally there. For years after that, demons messed with him. Sometimes they still do.
I know lots of good ones all centered around a single place: There’s an old mental hospital in my hometown called valley hospital. It’s historically known as the general hospital for the criminally insane. It’s on a hill near the river and it’s very creepy, with panoramic view of the town across the river but the view is ruined by the abandoned buildings rotting around it. Anyway, growing up everyone thought that it was haunted. We also knew of its dark history. Because of me. I watched a lot of spooky stuff growing up and I decided to see if the stories about the local nuthouse was true. They were. Supposedly, in the basement of the original building, shew hall, there are old patient records of a woman who was criminally insane being imprisoned there after she poisoned five people including her second husband who died after being married to her for three months. In his supposed will he left his entire estate to her. This turned out to be a forgery. Anyways, they found out she was poisoning people with arsenic and she was sentenced to death. She appealed and in her second trial pleaded insanity by claiming she was addicted to morphine. She was sentenced to life in the asylum. She died there back in 1962. This lead us to our next story, numbers graveyard. Around the back at the edge of the property of the hospital, there’s a graveyard with marble headstones. There aren’t any names. There’s only numbers. There’s a guide that lets you find a patient. This was added more than a century later. And there’s more. Our serial killer from our last tale is buried there. And the long road to the hospital has a disturbing number of graveyards. Speaking of one of these graveyards, I come to my last tale. The phantom of weeks hall. I found out about this one from my mother, apparently back in the 80’s and 90’s there was an old story circulating around one of the buildings, weeks hall. A phantom could be seen walking the halls at night and if you saw it you would be cursed to die a horrible death. The phantom was supposedly one of the patients who had been abused by the hospital and had died a slow and painful death with electro shock therapy and a lobotomy. Anyways, at the time my mother had a boyfriend, he was apparently a pretty nice guy and he was working as an orderly at the hospital. He heard the legend but didn’t believe it. But a couple weeks later he told my mother he saw the phantom. A couple weeks later he died in a car accident at 18. My mom was at his funeral. She got a tattoo in his memory, it’s still on her wrist. Poor guy, so young. And on that long stretch of road in one of the graves lies the final resting place of my mothers last ex. May he rest in peace.
Idk if this is a urban legend or not but this guy across the street from me who everyone claimed to be a great guy he smiled at everyone was really nice funny was cool with everybody very liked man but we all found out that he kept his kids locked in a room and only fed them twice a week didn’t even know he had kids till the day the cops came and got them we know nothing about their mother or who she is never seen her… crazy world we live in
Poor Le Loyon, if you ask me he was just a person who enjoyed cosplaying as a form of therapy. Being a cosplayer at times myself, I can say that the feeling can be very euphoric at times.
There's another legend in PA. A lake called Raystown was made by the government by flooding an actual town with people still in it. I believe it's somewhat true
Geo-sites? It was pronounced "geo-sit-ease". Geo cities. Geocities. Either the writer or the narrator _massively_ dated themselves by not knowing that, holy cow. lol
The very first story I had to quick click it off. I get extremely triggered by any harm or abuse toward animals. It could have been an interesting video but I can’t risk it.

HOW ARE THESE ALL TRUE? MOST OF THEM ARENT VERIFIED. YALL ARE SLOWLY DYING
funny story is at my workplace they actually caught a homeless man living in the crawlspace, people believe he found an opening in the roof

I guess my idea of "turned out to be true"is very different than MoJo's

Our 2 legends are surrounded by cemeteries. Bachelor's Grove being the most haunted cemetery. And Resurrection Mary/Resurrection Cemetery.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Psycho were based on Ed Gein's grisly crimes, but maybe that was talked about in a different video haha
