Edited on Thu Jun-16-05 10:46 PM by proud2Blib
on TLC is doing a story on alligators in the sewers in NYC.

This is my favorite urban legend.

7. I heard this story from another poster
who knows the cousin of a poster this happened to. They were sitting at their computer and started a sex thread in the Lounge. Everything was fine, until they saw a reflection in the computer screen, of a man with a hook. They edited quick and the vision disappeared. When they got up they found the letters "GD" carved into the chair.:scared:

2. My friend woke up one morning to find a dead rat in his toilet.
Not in NYC, but that would still scare the crap out of me.

He is a democrat, actually.

3. Men in Black is one of mine.
The Men in Black appearances and actions pull them from the realm of the normal and usher them into the world of the paranormal. Although Mib sightings seem to represent a serious threat to those who claim to see aliens and UFOs, the evidence appears to show that the secret agents do not show themselves often.

8. Here come the Men in Black, galaxy defenders.
Here come the Men In Black,
They won't let you remember.

We ain't on no government list
We straight don't exist
no names and no fingerprints.

Et Cetera.

9. I love urban legends
Particularly the supernatural ones. I have several books of ULs and just love reading and hearing them. My favorites include the Jersey Devil, The Vanishing Hitchhiker, The Boyfriend's Death, Killer in the Backseat and others like that.
