Gruesome Stories or Urban Legends

An air hostess, as she passed along the aisle of
the plane on the transatlantic flight from Amsterdam
to New York noticed that the baby, nestled between the couple
who were asleep, didn't look very well in fact it looked
extremely ill. Not wanting to disturb anyone she gently lifted
up the baby and took it back to her station. Feeling the
baby's forehead, she found it was cold and with a
sudden panic she realised that the infant was dead.
Calling upon a doctor she knew to be on board, he
examined the baby and confirmed that, not only was it
dead, but it was embalmed. The child's body
had been hollowed out and it was full of the drugs
that the couple were trying to smuggle into the
States.

A woman living in the city {Salt Lake} was visiting
friends in Ogden. When she got into her car in
front of this friend's house, she noticed that a car
started up right behind her car. It was about 2:00 in
the morning, and there weren't any other cars on the
road.
After she had driven to the highway, she began to
think that this car was following her. Some of the
time he would drive up real close to her car, but he
wouldn't ever pass. She was really scared to death and
kept speeding to try to get away from him.
When she got to Salt Lake, she started running stop
lights to get away from him, but he would run right
through them too. So when she got to her driveway she
pulled in really fast, and this guy pulled in right
behind her. She just laid on the horn, and her husband
came running out.
Just then, the guy jumped out of the car, and her
husband ran over and said, 'What the hell's goin' on
here?" So he grabbed the guy, and his wife said, "This
man's followed me all the way from Ogden."
The man said, 'I followed your wife because I was
going to work, and as got into my car, I noticed when
I turned my lights on, a man's head bob down in her
back seat."
So the husband went over to her back-seat, opened the
door, and there was a deranged man sitting on the
floor with a knife in his hand.

Two roommates remain at their deserted college dormitory over a
holiday break. One of the girls goes out on a date that evening,
and the other one turns in and goes to bed before her roommate
returns. Later that night the sleeping girl is awakened by
gurgling and scratching noises coming from outside the
hallway door. Frightened, she locks the door and
cowers inside the room until morning.
When the girl finally opens the door and ventures
outside, she discovers the bloody corpse of her
roommate in the hallway. The murdered girl's throat
had been slit, and she had bled to death in the
hallway while clawing at the door.

In Berlin, after World War II, money was short,
supplies were tight, and it seemed like everyone was
hungry. At that time, people were telling the tale of
a young woman who saw a blind man picking his way
through a crowd. The two started to talk. The man
asked her for a favour: could she deliver the letter
to the address on the envelope?
Well, it was on her way home, so she agreed. She
started out to deliver the message, when she turned
around to see if there was anything else the blind man
needed. But she spotted him hurrying through the crowd
without his smoked glasses or white cane. She went to
the police, who raided the address on the envelope,
where they found heaps of human flesh for sale. And
what was in the envelope? A note saying 'This is the
last one I am sending you today,"

I kinda like this urban legend.
Or perhaps it isn't an urban legend...



The following is a true story, as seen by millions of viewers on a Spanish T.V. Channel:
The parents of a teenage girl decided to put their daughter's name forward for a surprise game show. She idolised teen-age pop star Ricky Martin, and they arranged for TV cameras to be placed throughout the house. The house was then left empty with Ricky Martin hidden in the wardrobe in the girl's bedroom - all set to give the daughter a wonderful surprise.

However, upon returning home from school and finding the house empty, the daughter made her way down to the kitchen where she opened the fridge and removed a tin of pate - at this stage the live TV audience is wondering, "What the hell is going on?"

She then went back upstairs to her bedroom where she proceeded to remove all her clothes and spread pate all over her triangle of womanhood (at this stage Ricky Martin is still hidden inside the wardrobe, and half of Spain is seeing a young girl stark naked on the bed with pate all over her crotch).

As if the parents were not shocked enough by this, the daughter then calls the family dog, who obediently trots up the stairs and settles down to his favourite meal of "pate on a bed of seaweed". At this stage the order is given to cut the broadcast, leaving a very embarassed set of parents in front of a live studio audience!! Consequently, sales of tinned pate have rocketed.

Spindulik - the first story about the drugs could be true. I have a relative who used to work for the DEA and he told me how Columbians used to stuff cocaine and heroin into a baby's body to smuggle into the U.S.. The baby would be in a stroller being pushed by someone so no one would notice what was up.

I heard a story about a teenager who was baby sitting a 6 month year old. The teenager got high off of Mary Jane, and was hungry, so she accidently put the baby into the microwave instead of her food.

I read an article about whether this was true or not, and it turns out that a babysitter was on trial for sticking a baby in the microwave because she thought it (the baby) was the baby bottle. But she was on heroin I believe.

This story is about a girl who went back to her dorm room late one night, to get her books, before heading to her boyfriend's dorm room for the night. She entered, but did not turn on the light, knowing that her roommate was sleeping. She stumbled around the room in the dark for several minutes, gathering books, clothes, toothbrush, etc. before finally leaving.
The next day, she came back to her room to find it surrounded by police. They asked if she lived there and she said yes. They took her into her room, and there, written in blood on the wall, were the words, "Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the light?" Her roommate was being murdered while she was getting her things.
