Often times the scariest stories are told by the people you know and about someone you either know or have heard of. Only you can decide if it's truth or Urban Legend?

Have you heard the one about...

The babysitter who was watching television one night after putting the kids to bed, and the phone rang?
The college student who was traveling home from school on a long, dark stretch of forest roadway?
The two girls named Mary and Karen having a sleepover?
The Wizard of Oz suicide legend?
The stranger at the door, knock, knock, knock?

What's your Urban Legend?
