Urban legends are fun little stories to share at a sleepover, or around a campfire to get
a good spook.
I mean they are just stories that are passed down through generations right?
Well some might be, but definitely not all.
Hello!
Whats going on, im your host lindsay ivan and welcome back to most amazing top ten.
Now i have done alot of urban legend videos on this channel, from scary internet urban
legends, to scary childhood urban legends, I have covered a lot of ground.
But I have never talked about urban legends that ended up coming to life.
So That's exactly what I'm going to be talking about today.
Starting off at number 10 we have the candyman.
The candyman was an urban legend based off the short story by clive barker which eventually
got turned into a movie.
The urban legend states that if you look in the mirror and chant his name 5 times then
he will appear and give you candy.
Kidding, i wish, but instead he will appear and murder you.
Now in the movie the candyman, they had him climbing out of a medicine cabinet which altered
the urban legend.
In 1987 it would appear as if the candyman was real.
Ruth mccoy was a victim, who passed away after 2 men climbed through her medicine cabinet
and shot her.
Now these men were not the candyman, but used the same method of killing that he would use.
They broke through the connecting wall and entered Ruth's apartment through her cabinet.
This is a very scary and tragic case.
Moving on to number 9 we have the hermit in the woods
In Northpond Maine, a hermit living in the woods was all the talk for 27 years.
This urban legend started after people were mysteriously losing their food, clothing,
tools and toiletries.
People said that this hermit would creep into your unoccupied home and steal items.
Well in 2013, it turns out that this legend was real.
Christopher Knight was arrested and charged for robbery.
Apparently he committed more than 36 robberies per year, and was living in the woods since
around 1986.
I mean I have no clue how he got away with it for so long.
Next at number 8 we have the leaping lawyer of bay street.
Now this urban legend is about a lawyer who fell from his office building and plumitated
to his death.
Now I remember hearing this story as a child, since it originates in toronto.
What I didn't realize was that it was true!
Apparently in 1993, a man named Gary Hoy was trying to prove how strong the unbreakable
glass in his office was.
As a result, he ran towards the window and used his full weight to bang against it.
Unfortunately, the entire window popped out and he fell 24 stories to the ground.
Moving on to number 7 we have the ghost of maules.
This next urban legend takes us to switzerland.
It is said that a mysterious figure who they call le loyon or the ghost of Maules, stalks
the Maules forest wearing only camouflage and a gas mask.
Some people have claimed to see this figure, but it remained just an urban legend until
2013.
In 2013 a photo surfaced of what appears to be le loyon.
Then a few months later, his gas mask and coat were found in the forest.
Alongside that was a note that basically suggested that he was wandering the forest wanting solitude,
and even suggests that he may have taken his own life.
To this day, no one knows why someone was lurking the forest dressed like that, or where
they disappeared to.
At number 6 we have the Alice Killings Now this is based on Japan’s most famous
urban legend.
Legend has it that someone was murdering random individuals and placing a single playing card
by their bodies with the word “alice” written in the victim's blood.
This was said to happen between 1999- 2005.
Well, in 2003 this story came to life.
Around that time there was a serial killer in spain that would leave playing cards alongside
his victims.
He was found guilty for the death of 6 people passed and 3 that were wounded.
However, no need to worry, this killer was caught and is spending 142 years in jail.
We are now at our fifth and halfway mark with the bunny man.
This legend dates back to virginia in the 1970s.
Basically the legend states that there was a patient that escaped the mental asylum and
would gut bunnies and hang them from a bridge underpass.
This same patient was then said to move onto new victims, being teenagers.
Well in october of 1970 people reported seeing this bunny man around town.
One couple said that they saw him dressed in a white suit and bunny ears.
They also claim that he threw a hatchet at their car windshield and shattered it.
The next sighting was from a security guard who saw this man with a hatchet hacking away
at a porch railing.
When confronted he ran away.
No one has been able to catch this man, and as creepy as he is, there's no evidence that
he has murdered anyone.
Thankfully.
But also, what's up with his costume, like there is trying to embody the easter bunny.
Or maybe he was the easter bunny who is now going down a darker path.
And of course we have the boogeyman on this list coming in at number 4.
There are so many different legends of the boogie man out there, but this one is about
one named Cropsey.
This tale originated in Staten Island where kids believed that the boogeyman named cropsey
would live in the woods and would attack and disembowel children.
Other versions say he was an ax murderer, but no matter what version you heard they
all say that he would hunt and attack children.
Parents would reassure their kids that they had nothing to worry about.
But they did.
In 1987 Andre Rand was responsible for a bunch of child disappearances and deaths in the
1970’s.
It is said that the story of the boogieman heavily influenced him, and he even lived
in the woods part time, being the real life corpsey.
In our third spot we have the organ stealers.
Now this is another well known urban legend.
This urban legend has lots of variations but they all basically surround the same concept.
A person is out travelling on a business trip, hooks up with a stranger, who ends up drugging
them.
Yikes.
Then they end up in a tub of ice, with stitches along the side of their body, and with their
kidneys missing!
Now we may feel safe since this is just an urban legend right?
Wrong.
It has happened to numerous individuals whose organs are then sold illegally online.
In 2008 it happened to a constructor worker by the name on Mohammed Saleem.
He took on a construction job in New Delhi, but when he showed up to the job site he was
knocked out, and his kidney was taken.
Another victim was Shakel Ahmed who was 28 years old when he also had his kidneys forcibly
taken from him.
This is terrifying, I would like my kidneys to remain intact thank you very much.
Coming in at number 2 we have slenderman Of course mr. slendy had to make it on this
list.
He is an all time favourite urban legend of mine.
I’ve mentioned slenderman on this channel before.
Basically he is a super tall pale creature that appears to have no face.
He preys on little children, getting them to do dark deeds for him, or kidnaps and murders
them.
Now slenderman is just a legend created by Eric Knudson.
However in 2014 two teen girls were charged for stabbing one of their classmates, claiming
that slenderman told them to.
Now the victim did survive, but the girls plan was to walk to slenderman's mansion after
they finished the deed.
They claim that his mansion is located in wisconsin's nicolet national forest.
And in our number 1 spot we have the black eyed children
This legend is definitely one to keep you up at night.
The legend surrounds children whose eyes are completely black, that make an appearance
at night.The kids can be anywhere from 6 - 16, and target adults who are alone.
These kids often ask for favours, such as asking to get a ride home with them, asking
for food, or to use the bathroom in their house.
Now there are too many stories about people encountering these children.
In 1998, that was the first encounter with them.
A man said that two black eyed children tried to get a drive home from him.
He said that the children said “ we cant get into your car until you do, just let us
in, we will be gone before you know it.
Umm no thanks, that is terrifying.
More like he will be gone before you know it.
In 2008 a woman had a similar encounter.
She was in a car waiting for her mom when the children were tapping on the glass asking
for a ride.
Now it's easy for people to make up these stories for attention.
But there is an actual video that shows a motorcyclist encountering a black eyed girl.
In the video you can see the girl appear and then disappear in front of him when he stops
his motorcycle.
Then she appears again and he runs away.
Check it out.

Dan commented do the bloody mary thing in your car wing mirror so she has to chase you
down the freeway.
That's a hilarious suggestion, but no thank you, that would be terrifying having a highspeed
car chase with bloody mary.
Alesic Myers commented, i think the spookiest thing to happen to me was hearing someone
call my name when i was the only person home, and at the time i lived at my parents house
out on a dirst road.
It was an old trailer that was talking apart so i often wondered if there was a ghost or
something there.
Wait….
An old trailer that was talking apart..
I hope you meant falling apart.
But thats creepy, I would have bolted out of the house..
