Urban Legends

* We are studying Oral Traditions in class right now and students were asked to write their own Urban Legends.  Please be aware that some of these stories are graphic and scary, but very creative and well done.

In the mountains of North Carolina, there were strange reports of a creature.  They describe it to look like a bear/demon/bat.  Investigators went to find it and they never came back.  We have reason to believe that it found them, before they found it. . .

A group of students went to camp out in the North Carolina woods, when something terrible happened.  Two or three hours from the car the group found a nice camping spot and set up their tents.  Not knowing the history of the mountains, the decided to explore the area.  It is said that they found a cave, possibly the hiding place of the creature that haunts this place – all we know for sure is that they never came back.

There was once a little girl during slave times, whose mom rescued slaves passing through her settlement.  But, soon the slaves started to take over – there were so many of them – that when they finally took a stand, they murdered all the white people.  This little girl was special though.  Her name was Annabeth.  She was 10-years-old when her mother was killed.  She was all by herself, when the men tried to take her, so she cast a spell on them.  After Annabeth disappeared and was never seen again.

Now, anyone who commits a harsh sin has a spell cast upon them that causes their insides to fry and slowly leak out of big boils on their skin.  Then, they turn to ash.  It is said that this is the ghost of Annabeth getting revenge for her mother . . . and she isn’t always fair about what she calls a harsh sin.

There was once a little girl, named Stacy Morgan, who was murdered on the playground.  She swore to get revenge, but she didn’t know who did it, so to be sure she killed anyone who ever went to that playground.

A little girl, Mary, was on the swing set, when Stacy twisted the chain around her neck and suffocated her.  A little boy named John, heard a whisper and followed it, not realizing his head was now stuck in the monkey bars.  His skull was crushed and he died.
