Dead Hitch Hiker Girl

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

This is an that is, from what I can tell, not that dated and does not seem to have many versions yet. It is a simple story of a young beautiful woman goes to the local community center for a teen dance, for the purpose of this story we will call her Mary. Mary went to the dance alone with the intentions of meeting up with her fiancé and a few friends and she would get a ride home with her fiancé when the dance was over. Once at the dance she quickly found her friends and her fiancé and before too long was having the time of her life enjoying the music and present company. Sadly this did not last long and she got into a fight with her fiancé and wanted to go home but he was not ready to leave just yet. Mary threatened to leave on her own and walk home even though it was a dark and chilly night and she had nothing more than a shawl to keep her warm. This did not change her fiancés mind and Mary lived up to her threat and stormed out of the dance. She did not get very far, a few blocks towards home she was struck down by a hit and run driver and some would say that the roadway became her final resting place.

Some people have said they see a young girl walking in the same direction late at night shivering and obviously cold. She would ask for a ride home and on the ride home she is quiet saying little other than directions to her house
and maybe small talk. Once you reach her house she politely thanks you for the ride, gets out and disappears up the driveway, but before she gets out of the car she leaves behind her shawl. Noticing the young girl left her shawl behind the polite driver would call to the girl telling her she forgot her shall. Since the young girl was just dropped off she should answer the door without waking up any other occupants. But upon knocking on the door the young girl doesn’t answer but an older woman believed to be her mother. When the young girls mother sees you are there to give her a shawl she breaks down into tears and the father comes to console her. Once the father sees the shawl he knows you deserve an explanation for the emotional outburst. Showing you a picture of their daughter and explaining the events leading up to their daughters’ death. The more he talks the more unbelievable the previous events seem. Confusion sets in as you wonder why you are being told a story about the girls life when all you wanted to do was return the shawl. The father takes a deep breath and says “It was on this day 10 years ago that our daughter was struck down by a hit and run driver, she died on the road where she was hit.” Now everything becomes clear and you realize that you drove the couple’s daughter’s home and she left you with a parting memento for her parents.

This is an interesting story that is not typical to or because no one is hurt and it’s just a spirit who is trying to put parent’s hearts at rest by giving back the shawl. In another version of the story the
shawl that is brought back to the parents is the one that the girl was buried in so it is not possible for anyone to return it without digging up the grave. Below are a few links to a YouTube video that portray a similar event to
better help you understand this story.

The Babysitter Stalked.

Sunday, June 5th, 2011

Perhaps one of the more terrifying and surreal around is the what I have dubbed the stalked. It is an with little truth but the story will chill you to the bone none the less.

This urban legend start off with a family with a child that is of a young age usually between 8 and 12 where they are young but not too young and not old enough to be awake when the parents get home. The baby sitter will put the child to bed wishing them sweet dreams and tucking them in before turning off the light closing the door halfway. The baby sitter will then go downstairs to the living room and being a female who is most likely in either close to finishing elementary school or just started high school, so she would be doing homework while sitting on the couch. After being consumed in her homework she would hear the phone ring and thinking its just the parents checking in she answers the phone and hears a voice on the other end. The voice on the other end would say things like I am upstairs with the boy or girl and were just waiting for you to come join us to entice the babysitter to check on the child. The babysitter is not phased by this and assumes it is just a crank call or someone trying to her and tells the creepy caller to never call her again and hangs up the phone and goes back to her homework with little thought. She gets lost in her homework again only to be disturbed by the phone ringing again. After answering the phone she once again hears the creepy voice and this time she begins to get scared as she listens to the man make the same claims as before but one more time tells him to never call her again and slams the phone down. Feeling a chill from the phone call she just had she decides she needs to pick up the phone and calls the police and explains to the officer on the other end of the two calls she just received and the officer informs the baby sitter that they will send over a car to check things out. After the police officer hangs up he puts a trace on the babysitters phone to figure out where the chilling phone calls are coming from. While waiting for the police officer to arrive she decides to try and get some more homework done but is interrupted once again by another horrifying phone call from the creepy man and just like the previous two times, but with more aggression and much more assertive, tells the man never to call again and once again slams the phone down. Before she has a chance to decide what to do next the phone rings one last time but her patience has run out and answers the phone but screaming at who ever is on the other line but is interrupted by the voice of a police officer who informs her that the phone calls are coming from another line inside the house and she needs to get herself out of the house until the police arrive. Fighting to make the decision of getting her self out or getting the child and then getting outside her decision making process is interrupted by a loud knocking at the door. She runs to the door opens it quickly to see two uniformed police officers which she informs that the little boy is sleeping upstairs. One of the officers makes his way to the child while the other clears the rest of the house. The officer who went to check on the little boy was surprised to find an invader in the boys room wearing all black and quickly apprehends the intruder. The little boy is tied to the bed and gagged but the ordeal is not over just yet. As the intruder is being lead out of the little boys room by the police he says to the baby sitter “call you later baby.” With no real injuries other than the scar that will be left by the whole ordeal everyone is safe but this urban legend could have ended much worse.

Bloody Mary A Timeless Urban Legend

Saturday, June 4th, 2011

The of is a rather simple and straightforward with many different versions that have surfaced over the years. The most common is to go into a bathroom close the door and turn off the lights and light a single candle. While looking into the mirror you chant “I believe in Blood Mary” 3 times and Bloody Mary will appear to you and do one of the following things:

- Scratch your entire body.

- Gouge your eyes out and leave you to die.

- Grab you and bring you into the mirror to live with her for eternity.

- Show herself in the mirror.

- Be driven insane or scared to death from the sight of her.

As I see it this is one of the most talked about and  common of any urban legend of all time. As it is one of the older over the years there have been many different versions and some confusion of its origination. From what I have read there are 3 different women in history that all get twisted together when this urban legend is told. (Queen Mary I)and are two names and their parts in history, one being the Queen of England and the other a witch burned at the stake during the .

Queen Mary I who reigned during the has been mistaken as “Bloody Mary.” It is easy to understand the mistaken identity because Mary Tudor was a rather gruesome ruler burning and executing people for heresy to the point that the streets reeked from the burnt corpses and decaying bodies. A different version of the legend talks of a baby, such as “Bloody Mary I stole your baby”. Mary Tudor suffered from multiple phantom pregnancies with no record of ever giving birth leading to the conclusion of her infertility. This legend states that Bloody Mary had a child, so Mary Tudor is not the women that this urban legend is based on, however, there are many similarities to the woman I believe it to be based on.

Mary Worth who was a witch that dabbled in the black arts and was later burned at the stake for crimes of is the most likely origin of the urban legend of “Blood Mary.” It is believed that Mary Worth did not have any children but this does not rule her out as the origin of this urban legend. It may not have been proven but local children started to go missing and the townsfolk searched but found no clue to their whereabouts. Mary was later tried as a witch, found guilty and sentenced to burn at the stake. Before she died, as the flames devoured her flesh, she curse the town and it’s people.  The curse was one of revenge to anyone who dared say they believe in her 3 times.

I am unable to find any evidence to back up this next possible origin but I remember reading this story and it stands out of a very close runner up to the real origin of this urban legend. I do not have any names but it happened a few hundred years ago, back in the era of witch hunts and trials. A commoner had an affair with the mayor of her town but when the woman began to show all the signs of being pregnant the mayor ignored her and even shunned her. Until the day of the child’s birth he denied her and the child. The resemblance between the mayor and the little girl was undeniable. To save face the mayor made the decision to force the little girl and her mother out of the town. The town’s people in an unforgivable act of cruelty chased her out of town with rocks and whips. This wasn’t enough for the mayor as he ordered her killed and in a depraved twist had her watch her own death in a mirror. With her last breathe she cursed the town and all its town folk saying she would have her revenge if anyone dared to say her name 3 times while looking into a mirror. This story appears to have the most possibility of being the real origin of this urban legend however with no facts to back it up its hard to say if it could have happened or if it is just a well written short story.

The last possible mix up is with Elizabeth Bathory who was a real person who did a lot of truly horrifying and sadistic things including bathing in the blood of virgins but her name is not Mary but the bloody part could make sense but I do not believe there is any link between Elizabeth Bathory and the Bloody Mary urban legend.

Japanese urban legend Kuchisake-onna

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

I have a huge interest in especially ones that are actually frighten and me to the point that I have trouble sleeping. On a late night a few weeks ago I was browsing online and I stumbled across a picture that scare me and haunted me to the bone. This picture is from a movie I believe but I am unable to find an English version so I am unable to find the film. This is mainly a Japanese but I have found it under other names such as the slit mouth woman/girl and it is a rather which, like any other good urban legend, has many variations and originations. The bottom line of it is that it is a rather terrifying urban legend and with a few pictures it really adds to the spookiness of the legend.

Here is one version. There are many different versions, but this is the one I read. I will try to include pictures where I can and links to videos and any other relevant web pages.

In my belief the most common version of this legend, is said to originate hundreds of years ago in Japan in the Heian period which was a time in Japanese history that was between the years of 794 to 1185, so as you can tell this would be a very dated version of this urban legend. It is said that she was married or very involved with 1 man who was a Samurai who was very jealous and had doubts about her infidelity. The Samurai had his suspicions confirmed

and confronted Kuchisake-onna. He slashed her from ear to ear (my belief is not ear to ear but a upward slashing motion from her left to the right across her mouth) while saying “who will find you beautiful now?” She is said to roam the streets usually on foggy nights asking if you find her beautiful and at an answer of yes she would take off her mask and ask you again if she was beautiful. This time if you answered no she would take a very large pair if scissors and cut your face to resemble hers. If you were to answer yes it is said that she will follow you home and then slays you at your doorway to your residence. I have read that in Japanese the words used for “pretty” is very close Homophone for the word for “to cut” so there may be some confusion when the legend was translated. That is not where the legend ends; escape is not possible, if she finds you and asks you if she is beautiful there is no way to escape the end of getting disfigured or worse yet killed. The legend adds that she has superhuman speed so there is no way to run and she will always be in front of you no matter which way you turn, however, with an urban addition to the legend saying “your average” or “so-so” would confuse her giving you the ability to escape. That is the version of this urban legend that I first read and the one that has stuck with me these past few weeks, along with the pictures and the odd trailer which is in Japanese.

One thing that makes me wonder is how if she has a mask that people are not aware that she is someone that you want to stay away from? It’s not uncommon in Japan to see a fair majority of people wearing a surgical mask while walking around the street due to the amount of people in Japan and not wanting to catch the flu.

I also read another version where she prayed on children which when I read that I thought to myself how I could have been so frightened of this story but every time I saw a picture of her it scared me which is when I realized its not the legend it’s self but the picture.

Haunted Cabin was hacked.

Monday, May 30th, 2011

It came to my attention 2 days ago that this website along with a few others I have under this account were hacked. I am unsure at this time how they were able to change everything whether it was an exploit through word press or if my password was compromised. Right now its a moot point since my web host had a complete backup of everything and put it right back the way it was and everything seems to be just as it was, which I am very grateful for. Hosting24 is an exceptional host and did much more than I ever would have expected them to do for me. I am fortunate they had a backup as I was lazy and did not backup my websites not thinking anything like this would ever happen.

 

On a separate note I am going to be adding a few more posts about certain and or phenomenon that has caught my eye and that I think are really and worth blogging. Stay tuned for those new posts which should all be up in the next day or two.
