An urban legend is a story with an obscure origin and little or no supporting evidence. They spread and grow into various forms.
The false statement saying that mobile homes are named because they can be moved from place to place is one that I thought was true. It makes sense but that’s not why they’re called mobile homes.
I’ve also thought that Coca-cola containing cocaine was a joke too but it’s not, it’s true.
The freakish fatalities page says that a doctor was decapitated by an elevator. I never knew that could actually happen. I’ve been scared to catch my hand in the door trying to open it real fast for another person but how would someone’s head get stuck? Traumatizing for the person who witnessed the whole thing. Reminds me of that movie Final Destination 2. Nightmares thanks!!
Yea there were a few that I thought were true for the longest time like chewing gum taking seven years to pass through the digestive system. I still hear that one going around.
People will believe anything these days. Remember the saying don’t believe in everything you see on TV? Well it’s the same for the Internet. There’s nothing stopping anyone from writing whatever they want.
