Welcome to Urban Legends & Superstitions Wiki page!
In the past, urban legends, myths and superstitions have been passed along from person to person. Some of these compelling tales have survived for ages by scaring us, amazing us or grossing us out. We can't wait to tell and retell these stories and pass them around the globe.
I've been collecting urban legends, ghost stories, myths and superstitions and have compiled a website for your entertainment! With all the stories I've collected, I know there are still some I haven't heard.
If you know a legend that I haven't recorded on the site, then post it here! You can also submit your legends via the form on the site:

Lets talk about your favorite Urban Legends and Supersitions!
Urban legends from Andreux: My hometown, San Antonio, Texas, U.S.A., has several local legends since the town is very old & historic. It is the home of the Alamo, and the city itself has been around for centuries. One legend states that there is a hostile & malicious donkey-lady creature that roams the southern side of town. Apparently, she is deformed from a house fire & desperately seeks revenge against men.
There is also a legend about a home for several cannibalistic little people (Midget Mansion). The house does not stand anymore, however.
Also concerning local folklore, the Tex-Mex stories of La Lechusa & La Llorona. Respectively, a curandera has the ability to perform both white & black magic, and many people of Tex-Mex heritage would summon curanderas to either heal or harm. In order to travel long distances after being summoned, the curandera has the ability to shape-shift into the form of a very large owl, also known as la lechusa. If summoned incorrectly, however, no matter if it was for good or bad purposes, then the lechusa would turn on you by revealing her human face, glowing red eyes, an ear-to-ear grin revealing dripping black gums of the devil, & razor-sharp talons to attack the summoner unexpectedly one evening, most particularly late at night around midnight. Also respectively, the tale of la Llorona varies widely among communities. The story that I have heard, however, is that la Llorona gave birth to the first mestizo baby of the Americas after the Spanish conquistadores' arrival. That is, the baby was half-Native American, half-European. Out of shame, la Llorona drowned her baby, and now, it is said that she wanders a creek in town officially named "Woman Hollering Creek", crying out of shame & drowning any other passers-by. As I said earlier, however, there are other versions including a scorned wife & a star-crossed mother.
There is another legend about a devil-man who frequents the local bailes (discotheques/bars) here in town. Apparently, this handsome man seduces women, but he strides with a limp because of his hooves which women cannot see in the darkened bailes. Once the woman is on the dancefloor, the man dances in circles around the woman to open a portal to Hell where she will be trapped forever, and if she resists, then he will violently force her to dance or lash out against her.
Perhaps the most popular legend in town, however, is the tale about a schoolbus of children that passed away after being struck by a passing train. On a field trip to the local missions of San Antonio, the bus was stopping in a nearby park for a picnic. While traveling to the park, the bus mysteriously stalled on a pair of uphill railroad tracks while a train was quickly approaching. No children survived, and as a tribute to the children that passed away, several streets in the surrounding neighbourhood were named after the children, such as "Betty Sue", "Bobby Ray", etc. Nowadays, these benevolent spirits attempt to keep people out of harm's way by pushing vehicles up & over the hill of railroad tracks where they were killed. What visitors to the area are supposed to do is pour baby powder over their rear bumper & leave their automobile in neutral while an invisible force pushes the vehicle up & over the hill as it picks up speed. The baby powder then reveals small fingerprints of the spirits that pushed you over the hill.
CANNIBALS IN CHINA
There was an artist in Taiwan a few years ago that claimed he ate a fetus publicly and even had pics to prove it. It has pretty much been dismissed as a hoax/publicity stunt, but there is a new breed of man-eater on the Chinese mainland. And this one seems real. Men are allegedly eating fetus soup to boost their virilty. These guys must not have email or else have a great spam filter if they don't know about the little blue pill that are safer and less sickening than consuming newborns.

As for me, I got my husband a t-shirt from www.CrazyShirts.com that was actually dyed using old US currency. Yup, dyed with money! He's into Texas Holdem, so he can wear it when he is playing cards.
What did you get for your honey?
Really Neat!
