Back in the late 70s my parents gave him a ride more than once. By all accounts he was a nice guy.. Unfortunately, some people in the area were known to abuse or take advantage of him.

The "Man in the Attic" story reminds of an actual case that occurred in Los Angeles (I think) back in the 1920s-'30s. I saw this story dramatized on "A Crime To Remember," a series from the I.D. (Investigation Discovery) channel on Cable TV. (This show can be found on the Tubi streaming service.) Anyway, I don't remember the names of the people involved, but what happened was that a wealthy woman claimed that her husband had been shot to death by a burglar, but the police were sceptical because only a few minor items were stolen and because the victim's wife told them that to protect herself from the burglar, she locked himself in a closet. Yet, it was found that the closet could only be locked from the OUTSIDE, NOT THE INSIDE. The suspicions by the police became even more heightened when the dead man's widow said that her husband had told her about strange things happening in the house, like food mysteriously disappearing from the kitchen and weird noises being heard throughout the place. Soon, the authorities began to believe that the wife herself may have shot her own husband in a fight. To start with, there were rumors that the husband had been abusive towards his wife. Also, they suspected that she was having an affair with her lawyer. These two facts may have given her a motive to murder her husband, but the police had no real evidence to prove their theories, so they dropped a case for a while. It was years later that the woman's lawyer came forward with a rather bizarre story. He told the police that his client, the widow of the dead man, HAD BEEN CHEATING ON HER HUSBAND, BUT NOT WITH HIM, THE LAWYER! The woman's lover was a man who had no place to live, so unbeknownst to her husband, she sneaked her paramour into the upstairs attic, which she'd converted into a complete living quarters, with a bed, a table and chairs, a radio, a bookshelf, etc, and he had been living there for many years, and he and his mistress would often make love while her husband was away on business. She had been sneaking food to him all that time, which was why food kept vanishing from the kitchen. The noises that the husband kept hearing were probably the boyfriend walking about in his little "home." The police found the man still living in the attic. He eventually confessed that on the night of the shooting, he heard the sounds of screaming and a fight, rushed down to the first floor of the house, and found his lover in a violent quarrel with her husband (who probably suspected his wife of fooling around when he wasn't home), and to protect her, he pulled the husband away from his wife, and tried to wrench a pistol out of the man's hand, and in the struggle, the gun accidentally went off, killing him. The wife and her boyfriend then had no choice but to cover up the truth by arranging the evidence (like disposing of a few items that were allegedly "stolen") to make it appear as if the victim was killed by an intruder. The "Man in the Attic" (as the press dubbed him) and his paramour were later charged with manslaughter, but the charges were dismissed on the grounds that, under California law, the statute of limitations on manslaughter had run out, and the two defendants went free.

When I was about ten years old, I was over a friend's house and was left alone in his room because his mother needed to have a talk with him (to her credit, she didn't want to embarrass him because it was about him forgetting to flush the toilet again. But I digress...) I was looking out the window and saw a figure in the reflection. Startled, I spun around and saw an elderly woman with long grey hair down past her waist dressed in a white gown. She outstretched her arms and slowly stepped towards me. I stood there completely paralyzed by fear as she approached. She wrapped her arms around me, kissed me on the cheek, softly laughed, then backed away, still staring at me. I remained standing there, frozen in terror. A few moments later, I saw my friend walk by and go down the hall and heard, "You ok? All right. Love you." and then the sound of a door closing. He then entered the room and asked, "Did my grandma come in here?" So after that encounter with what I thought was a ghost, I became a lot less skeptical about the validity of urban legends. No matter how unlikely or fantastical, I never rule out the possibility that there is some degree of truth to them.

Savannah, GA is one of the most haunted places on earth because of the allowance of the horrible act of slavery in the US and it's storied history in the US Civil War. The night doctors section reminded me of what I had heard during a late night ghost tour, but there were doctors in town who would experiment on slaves and wounded civil war troops as they came in. The worst part is that people weren't harvesting organs or parts for others that needed them for money, this was for pure speculation and fascination with some macabre intent a lot of times. People (i.e. drunks) were often "Shanghai'd" from bars/brothels in the area and found their way to the worst practitioner's basements for experiments. Quite terrifying...

A true and horrible history is that early gynecology was studied by white doctors on African American women slaves including all manner of surgery without any anesthesia. That is scarier than all this. I learned it in a women in US history class. One reason for this was anything having to do with female sexuality was taboo and doctors wanted women to practice on but it was considered improper for women to submit to any examination of the genitals. So slave women were experimented upon usually outdoors behind a shed without anesthesia.

My area has an urban legend about a bridge called "Bunnyman Bridge". In the early 1900s a bus full of inmates from an insane asylum were being transported to a new facility when their bus crashed. The authorities were eventually able to track down all but two of the inmates. For years the only evidence they could find was skinned rabbit carcasses upside down. Eventually they found one of the inmates skinned just like a rabbit. The real story is completely different. In 1970 a newlywed couple were lost and looking at a map when a man dressed either in a bunny costume or a KKK outfit attacked their car with an ax. 10 days later a security guard saw a man in a Bunny costume chopping at a piece of wood with an ax. The man told the security guard that he was trespassing. Neither of these incidents took place anywhere near the bridge.

In first grade, I got really terrified of Bloody Mary. When I finally told my mom what was bothering me, she told me about Queen Mary (the older half-sister of England’s Elizabeth I). She said that Bloody Mary wasn’t real, but inspired by Queen Mary and that she was just some crazy lady who loved killing people who were a different religion than her. It made me feel a lot better AND Bloody Mary stopped being so frightening. So I like to think that’s where Bloody Mary came from.

In the suburbs of St. Louis MO near Sinks Road lived a family in a big house out in the country. It was reported that several of the older children were intellectually challenged and had large heads and who would chase people away if they came close to the house. They were known as "Bubble Heads" to teenagers back in the '80s. We would drive out in the secluded wooded area at night on the windy hilly roads to maybe catch a glimpse of the Bubble Heads. As we approached the Bubble Head house it was great fun to pretend that we'd run out of gas to scare the young ladies with us. I believe there was a plan to make a move about them.

I loved Polyb-- I mean Tempest. I dropped so many quarters into that game. I also was addicted with the Space Ace game as well. I finally beat Space Ace after who knows how many quarters. I don't even want to think about it now. Haha.

The Black Dog, Ghost Truck, and Ghost Train are real. To summon them, all you have to do is drive an 80,000lb truck at 70mph while severely sleep deprived at around 2am. Skin walkers, or what some may call them, are entities that enjoy messing with people out of boredom. They are not necessarily scary but sometimes they will rip you apart.

He left out the legend of Candyman. It was based on the murder of a woman whos killers would break in to apartments from behind the mirror, there was a channel of ways to every apartment from behind the walls and burglars would break in this way. She was murdered by thieves that came through from behind her mirror .

The Gruber story is crazy. The patriarch was a legit monster who probably was the cause of the murders. Sadly, the young girl was alive for so long after her attack.

Here's another thing that used the "hook" a movie with Darren McGavin and Jo Beth Williams was in a movie about a boy who witnessed his parents murder and the ending is so surprising you won't believe it. And about the town who dreaded sundown is based on the Tex Arkansas murders and there is a rumor he could have been the Zodiac killer as well

Charlie no face was actually from Beaver Falls PA. People would offer him cigarettes when he would be out walking. Some people were really mean to him. The green man from south Park is another story of a worker that was electrocuted while working.

There's a cold case in Japan that is similar to the Alice murders about that time where the a family was discovered dead and the killer just left a few clues were there as for the DNA goes still no clear answers remember this was 1995 and things aren't as meticulously done like it is now and the police chief there committed suicide because of the pressure to solve it or he knew something so the story goes.
