Top 10 Best Urban Legends

The Hookman
The legend goes that a young teenage couple was parked at a lover's lane. As they were about to go "all the way," they heard a news report about a serial killer with a hook for a hand who had escaped in the area. The girl freaks out, but the guy isn't ready to go.
Finally, the guy gives up and takes her home. He gets out to let her out of the car, and that's when he sees it. Dangling from the car door handle is a hook.

Aren't You Glad You Didn't Turn on the Lights?
This urban legend is about two college roommates. There's a final exam the next day, and one of them decides to study while the other decides to sleep. When the studious roommate leaves to get an extra book, she comes back to rustling noises and moaning. Assuming her roommate is having sex, she decides to leave them alone and study in another room.
When it gets too late, the studious roommate goes to sleep and leaves the lights off so as not to wake her roommate. The next morning, she wakes up to find her roommate brutally murdered, and on the wall, written in her blood, are the words "Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the lights?"

Brain Bugs
This one may be disturbing. It really creeped me out. This story involves a guy who goes to bed and wakes up noticing that he has a pain in his ear. It turned out that the pain was caused by bugs that had nested in his skull.
In 2013, an old woman named Rochelle Harris went on vacation somewhere, and afterward, she started hearing scratching noises inside her head. She decided to see a doctor after a fly flew out of her ear. It turns out that several flesh-eating maggots had nested deep inside her ear canal.

The Quietly Dead Guy
A guy appears to be passed out on a bus. Most people think he's just asleep until the bus driver checks his body and finds out that he's actually dead. But here's the real story:
In 2011, Robert Young and Mark Rubinson were at a friend's house named Jeffrey Jarrett. They found him passed out, so they loaded him into a car and went to party that night. But the only thing is, he was dead in the back seat the whole time. They thought that he was just passed out.

The Body Under the Bed
I would be creeped out if I stayed at a hotel only to find a dead body under the mattress I was sleeping on. Freaky!
-
Calls from the Dead
This person gets many mysterious phone calls from a family member, but it turns out that the family member was dead when these calls took place. But this actually happened! It's unbelievable, but on September 12, 2008, there was a train crash that killed 25 people. One of those people was Charles Peck.
Many family members reported missed phone calls from Charles Peck. He called several of them 35 times in a row after his passing. Family members think that Charles was trying to get a hold of them, trying to tell them that he loved them.

The Fatal Tan

Aka Manto
His name means red cape in our language. If you find him, he will ask you if you want red or blue paper.
If you ask for red, he will butcher you like a pig being turned into pork chops (sorry for mentioning that). If you ask for blue paper, he will choke you. If you ask for another type of paper, he will bring you to the underworld.
How do you survive? Don't ask for any paper.
-
Creatures in Your Toilet
This is another one that gave me the creeps. This may be disturbing. A man gets out of bed, half asleep, in the middle of the night and walks to the restroom. Suddenly, he gets bit by a giant rat right on the tush.
In 2007, in Portland, Oregon, a man had this exact experience. A giant rat had gotten trapped in his toilet bowl. The man tried to flush it, which made the rat even angrier. Unfortunately, the man caught it!
Ah yes, but that happens a lot in the U.S.

The Girl in the Shadows
This is about a man having the thought and feeling that he was being watched by a girl. It turned out that in his own house, a girl had been living in his attic the whole time!
This legend did happen back in 2008. There was a Chinese man who was living by himself when he discovered that food had been vanishing and items were being misplaced. The man set up a camera and noticed that a homeless woman had been living in his home for an entire year! She had been sneaking food and even taking showers. When he watched the tape back, she was only a few feet away from the fridge.

Bloody Mary

Annabelle the Doll
She's almost as haunted as Robert. It's said that one man who mocked her died not long after leaving the museum. His motorcycle went out of control and hit a tree.
-
Humans Can Lick Too
This is just plain creepy. A girl found her dog dead, with the words Humans Can Lick Too written on the bathroom mirror in the dog's blood. It was probably a pedophile or an escaped mental patient who found his way into the house. Either way, it's terrifying.
This one is creepy! So, this girl was in her bed, and she heard dripping noises in the...
One of the more disturbing legends on this list.

The Killer Policeman
A cop knocks on somebody's door and tells them that there's a murderer on the loose. When the person lets the cop inside, the cop is actually the murderer! The cop then chops them up.
This incident happened in 1974 when a woman was approached at a bookstore by a police officer. It turns out that this officer was a serial killer! He told the woman that somebody had tried to break into her vehicle. The woman went with him, but the officer tried to handcuff her.
A good creepypasta indeed. Gives me chills.

The Choking Doberman
It turned out that someone had broken into the house, and the Doberman was choking on the intruder's finger. Very unsettling!

The Clown Statue
A teenage girl is babysitting for a wealthy family while the parents are out for the night. She calls the parents to ask if she can watch TV in their room since none of the other rooms have cable. However, she also asks if she can cover up the clown statue in the corner because it's creeping her out.
The father says they don't own a clown statue and tells the girl to get the kids and call the police. Was it an escaped mental patient, perhaps?
