An Urban Legend is a short tale that is told and retold as true, although it usually has little or no basis in reality or can't be confirmed one way or another. Whether we know it or not we've all heard them, usually as something that happened to a "friend of a friend".

The following is a collection of the more entertaining of these folktales. Some are entertaining in themselves and others are only entertaining because they're not true. If you have heard any good ones that I don't have here, please send it to me at the address below.

All of the following are legends which are assumed to be false except when otherwise noted.
