chain letters and urban legends. why they are NOT real

i bet at some point of your life, youv received a chain letter. the things that say, oh, pass this on, blah blah blah or else this will happen.

theres ones that play on guilt. like, im a strong catholic and when i get ones that say pass it on to show god you love him, im stuck. but dont worry, ive stopped passing them, but dont worry, i still love god...
these ones are bad, they make you feel like such a bad person if they dont get passed on to 15 people in the next 3 minutes... other ones that come into this play on oour morals (pass this on if you support this and that)

other ones are about wishes and good luck. (pass this onto the next 8 people while thinking of your crush and he/she will kiss you next friday at 12pm. if you dont theyl hate you forever..) this one i used to freak out about, like the stupid 14 yr old i was. in fact, time rolled around. i never got kissed, never got dissed. so that shot out that one for me.

then, theres the famous scary ones. these also lurk around facebook pages. DO NOT READ then the person is intrigued to keep reading. NOW YOUR READING YOU CANT STOP. tthen it goes on to describe some zombie chick thatl dice yo if you dont annoy your friends by pasting it on all their walls. i didnt... and, i was meant to die 3am many mornings ago;.... oh, i was also supposed to be stalked by a miniture clown and have my eyes gouged out next time i looked in the mirror. im still in one piece, i havent seen a clown carrying a butchers knife. and most definitely can still see.

so that covers chain letters. theyre not REAL... urban legends, my fave topic coz they scare me (point) but yeah,

candy man: no such thing as a guy dressed as a candy man with a hook that appears in your mirror if you call him. if anything, if you DO see something, its your imagination. it projects what your mind has been led to believe. no i am NOT going to demonstrate this. i have a habit of being wrong, even though a man with lollipoops in his pocket appearing in a mirror to kill you, it could be your local pedophile.


bloddy mary or mary worth: same as candy man. its not true but im not going around to test it. jennifer love hewitt did in ghost whisperer though, so theres your proof (oh its a film, you whine) BUT she still stood in front of a mirror and still said the chicks name. unless she had shamans there to protect her or something. dark mirrors are terrifying coz imagine walkig past them at night and seeing yourself in there thinking its someone else. however, im not gonna try it coz even my own country has a 'dont look in mirrors for too long or at night coz theres gonna be someone else' kinda thing.

i know that doesnt look like a scary ghost but would you really want to see that in the mirror???

hanako san. toilet ghost. i know, have a giggle, a toilet ghost. but. BUT its actually quite freaky. call out hanako san are you there? into a closed cubicle, and if you here a yes, then get out of there coz if you go in there shel kill you. thats the legend. not quite as casual as that but you get the idea. i dont think its real, coz if i was a ghost. why, WHY would i haunt a toilet? id haunt the whole bathroom but a toilet? no...



but comeone thats terrifying, i would rather have borat instead of a creepy ghost watching me 'make a toilet'



yeah i think i would rather have borat....

then theeres a carmen winstead girl who was pushed down a well or a drain or something. the only way to grace yourself with the horror of getting pulled down a drain (if your small enough to fit) is to read the chain letter. find it online or have it sent to you. (why am i promoting this?) i read that 3 years ago? and trust me, i have not been down a drain or toilet...
actually, funnily enough, it sounds just like ringu. or the ring...




then theres so many more, but not ones you summon. just scary storiews that make you think thank god im not in that situation...
but these are ones you can 'catch' like a flu they pop up o your email or facebook. then theres ones you summon it yourself.

dont try this at home. couldnt be a better title for that ghost whisperer episode on bloody mary.

and to whoever is brave, kudos, but you cant say i didnt say not to do it... coz if it aint some psycho ghost, its bound to be your own inventive mind that will scare yourself to death.
