That is the opening scene from are you afraid of the dark.
And whenever I think of urban legends I think of this for some reason.
I just think it really captures that spooky eerie essence.
Hey guys im Court McGinley and welcome back to the most amazing top 5.
Before we get started I want to remind you Show us some love by giving this video a big
thumbs up and subscribing to our awesome channel so you never miss a new video.
Alright lets get started on our list of the top 5 Scary Ubran legends that are true.
Starting off at our number 5 spot--The Dog Boy- This urban legend come to us from Arkansas
and its about a werewolf-like dog man who would roam around the town of Quitman killing
people and animals- but it turns out this just somewhat embellishes a true tale.
So in 1954 Gerald Bettis was born.
And right from the beginning he had a bad reputation.
As he grew up he was said to be Cruel and sadistic.
Rumour had it he would capture stray animals and perform some pretty messed up experiments
on them.
As he grew older his cruelty grew stronger and he began hitting his parents.
Then in 1981- when Gerald was 27 his father was found dead in his home.
The paper stated it was an illness but the townspeople believed he died at the hands
of his own son.
His mother ended up testifying against him in court and Gerald was sent to prison.
This is where he ended up dying sometime in the 1980s.
People have said his spirit still haunts the house he grew up in.
In many versions his ghost walks on all fours like a shaggy dog.
Hence the title of the urban legend- The Dog Boy.
In at number 4--The Pigpen of death- Yeah this one is really sick.
So as legend has it one man lets call him Bob tied another man lets call him Tim up
to a chair and threatened to feed him to the pigs if he didn’t do what he wanted.
Tim refused to do what Bob was requesting of him.
So Bob tossed tied up Tim into his pig pen.
Also I should mention that at this point Bob had been basically starving his pigs.
So as soon as Tim was in the pen the pigs went after him and ate him alive.
Yeah lovely- apparently pigs like to eat us as much as we like to eat them.
Now where this legend came from- A Vietnam war vet in Oregon began to raise some pigs
on his farm as treatment for his post-traumatic stress disorder.
Thigs were going well- and the pigs being there were helping.
The mans family even referred to the pigs as life-savers for their son.
But then in 2012 the man went out to feed his pigs and he was never seen again.
And no one knows what happened to him to this day.
When his family went to look in the pen all they could find was his dentures and a few
scraps of fabric from the clothes he was wearing- as well as little bits of flesh scattered
about.
So its clear that these pigs ate him.
The family doesn’t know if he had a heart attack- or if one of the pigs just took him
down.
But for whatever reason this mans pet pigs completely devoured him.
Yeah that’s just messed up.
At number 3--Alice Killings- This is one of Japans most famous urban legends as well as
one of its newest.
It revolves around a series of murders that happened between 1999 and 2005.
Its said that these victims did not know one another and all of the killings were done
in a different way- but there is one similarity that tied them all together.
And that is the fact that a single playing card with the word Alice written on it in
the victims blood was found on all of the bodies.
Now that is the legend.
The truth is that there is no evidence of these killings taking place.
But this legend did come from somewhere and that is from a story of a serial killer who
did in fact identify who he killed by placing playing cards on their bodies.
But this was in Spain- not Japan.
And in the real version the killer was caught in 2003 and was sentenced to 142 years in
prison.
So as there were similarities that this Japanese urban legend was based off of it got blown
out of proportion- but gained popularity by being posted on the internet.
Coming in at number 2--Corpsey of Staten Island- So this is one ive never heard before- if
you live on Staten Island let me know if youre familiar with this urban legend.
So apparently Corpsey is like the boogeyman of Staten Island in New York City.
He was rumoured to be a homicidal madman who was an escaped mental patient who would hunt
children.
Once he caught a child he would drag them back to the abandoned ruins of the old Sea-view
hospital.
Basically parents would tell their children stories about Corpsey to scare them into being
good.
But then in the late 1970s Corpsey actually came to life in the form of a real homicidal
man named Andre Rand who actually did hunt children.
Back in 1987 Rand who worked at a State School as a janitor was arrested in connection with
the disappearance of a 12 year old girl with down syndrome named Jennifer.
In this same year the state school closed.
So at this time Rand was homeless and lived on the grounds of the abandoned school.
The school also happened to be close to the Abandoned Seaview hospital so closely tied
to the Corpsey legend.
Searchers then found Jennifers body in a shallow grave on the school grounds and Rand was charged
with her murder.
But that’s not all Rand also had a record of crimes against children that dated back
to 1969 when he was arrested for trying to rape a child.
And in 1983 kidnapped a bus full of children for an afternoon.
Rand was charged 25 years for killing Jennifer.
He was eligible for parole in 2008- but in 2004 police convicted him for another case
from years before- and he was given another 25 year sentence.
He will not be eligible for parole until 2037 when he will be 93 years old.
That’s pretty crazy.

of the video as I will be answering your questions.
And if you would like to be featured in an upcoming video then make sure you leave those
questions below.
And in at number 1--Charlie No-Face- This urban legend is coming from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.
Carlie No-face was a cautionary tale for children.
Parents told their kids that Carlie was a man who was foolishly playing with nearby
power lines when he had an accident which caused his face to become severely burned.
Parents told this story to there kids to keep them from messing around with exposed electricity.
Charlie no-face was said to lurk around in abandoned train tunnels at night and made
electricity flicker and turn on and off with his presence.
He was also said to wander dark alley ways and deserted country roads late at night.
This urban legend is based on a real life man.
His name wasn’t Charlie though it was Raymond Robinson.
He had suffered a severe accident involving a does of 1 thousand 200 volts on an electrical
trolley bridge when he was a kid.
His eyes were cooked in their sockets- his nose was burnt off- and his left arm was destroyed
up to the elbow.
This amount of electricity should’ve ended up killing him but it didn’t.
Because he didn’t like people to see him looking like this he would only go out at
night.
But unlike the legend Raymond didn’t do any type of haunting at al he was actually
very friendly to people he would come across.
He would even sometimes let teens take pictures with him in exchange for cigarettes.
Alright and its that time of the video where I answer your questions and read comments
so lets get started.
So these questions and comments are from our-Top 5 strangest places to get a piercing video.
Amber Massey said- Do you just really like piercings or what.
You have done so many videos on diff kinds of piercings.
Crazy- I mean I don’t dislike piercings- but list are based off what the audience likes
or what we think will do well.
And piercing videos have done really well in the past- so that means you guys like them-
so give the people what they want right?
Next- Nicholas Levantis said- the tooth piercing made me cringe so much- I know right that
one really freaked me out- I don’t know why someone would do that.
Next- JV Studios said- anyone wanna give me 5 bucks- I have to say ive never seen this
comment before- but good on you for trying- maybe someone will- if you were here I would.
Next- Sydney Gilbert said- Love you so much please make a part 2 btw so much cringe.
Yeah that was a lot of cringe.
I actually have to do the research and look at all the pictures and stuff- so trust me
its worse on this end.
Next- Shirley Pilger said- Jeeze judgemental much ? I have never heard you be so negative.
Piercers only pierce places on the request of the person getting the piercing who is
an adult.
Have you forgotten to each his own.
Especially true for those piercings nobody can see.
Its my body my choice.
Wow clearly someone was triggered.
Maybe you were unaware when you clicked but the title of the video was STRANGEST places
to get a piercing.
So yeah its not going to be a bunch of positivity.
Also when I did say a drawback on the piercing I explained why- so yeah I don’t really
view that as negative.
And you can get piercings when your 16 .. your not an adult at 16 you’re a teenage.
So i hope this explanation helped to clear up some of your concerns.
