Welcome to Gaia! ::

where i live we have a white laddy.

supposedly if you drive through this strech of road at the stroke of midnight you see a laddy dressed in white by the side of the road trying to find her kids.dam cant remember the rest. Dam meds

Well, when you're dead, don't you turn a ghastly white anyway?
Before you start decaying, I mean.

@ [X]Living Dead Girl[X] ... again -
That's cool! I want to stalk someone when I'm not there. O.o;;

Speaking of Ladies in White, do you know that Di$neyland is actually haunted?
I live in Anaheim, California and I'm in the process of putting together a book on urban legends and local folklore. According to legend, Di$neyland is haunted by no less than five ghosts:

The Monorail Spook
The America Sings Poltergeist
The Matterhorn Ghost
The White Lady of Main Street
The 1000th Ghost of the Haunted Mansion

There's also a story about the Faceless Man of the Matterhorn, but that disturbing ghost only had one sighting.
If anyone is interested, I'll post stories about the Di$neyland ghosts...

POST!!!! please.

You mean Sebastian Haff, right? Here's a great movie for quick reference (and it does have SOMETHING to do with myths smile

The vanishing hitchhiker is sometimes set on halloween. (Couple guys coming back from a party pick up a beautiful girl, one of them lends her his coat and they drop her off somewhere. In the morning, they go back for the coat and either find it neatly folded across the grave of the girl - who was a ghost, it turns out - or meet two sad parents who tell the story.)

Oh yeah, the Razors-in-Apples thing seems to be an urban myth. Except in one discounted news story (written from the myth itself, not fact) no record of a kid biting into an apple with a razor in it has ever been found. The candy companies may have been responsible for spreading that one.

In England, especially durin "Victorian" times (you know, when Jack the Ripper) was having his day, Ghost stories were told on Christmas and you can get a lot of fun material by doing a Christmas/Ghost Stories search on google.

Washington Irving wrote a story called "The German Student" about a kid hanging around Revolutionary france who takes a beautiful noble lady with a diamond choker (or a scarf, maybe) around her neck back to his room. When the choker (or scarf) gets removed, the lady's head falls off. Whee!

Oh, and as far a urban myths go, there's a great conglomeration of Urban Myths told in florida called "Secret Stories." Here's a (long) newspaper article on it from 1997:

The stories tell how God went insane and was toppled from his throne by Bloody Mary (who, it turns out, is really the Virgin Mary on some sort of revenge kick - which makes perfect sense, when you think about it.) Bloody Mary led an army of demons which also imprsioned the kindly Blue Lady at the bottom of the bay (or ocean, as the case may be.)

Which brings me to my last and favorite myth. This is usually told about Christmas eve, but I've heard it set on both Walpurgis Nacht (German, the day before May Day, when the witches have their spring beak parties) and Halloween:

If you go out and listen to the animals at midnight, they speak as if they were humans... and reveal hidden treasure.

(Of course, in folklore, just about every secret thing - from angry demons to late afternoon thundershowers - reveals hidden treasure.)
