Since Halloween is just around the corner, I will be submerging myself in all things scary. And what's scarier than a good old ghost story? Here are the top 12 urban legends I find very creepy.
12. WELL TO HELL
In the 1970's, Russian scientists dug a 9 mile deep well that leas to the hot surface of the Earth. They put a sensory machine on the drill to record the sound movements of magma, but what they heard was both disturbing and unexpected. The sensory machine recorded sounds similar to tormented screaming. many of them believed it was the screaming of those who were damned in hell. And if that wasn't creepy enough, the scientists spotted a winged demon fly out of the well screaming "I have conquered" in Russian. That. Is. Creepy. Especially if you're catholic like me.
11. THE EXPRESSIONLESS
A woman walks into a hospital. This woman is wearing a blood soaked white gown. What's particularly creepy about her is that her head is similar to a lifeless, expressionless mannequin, but she still had the fluidity of a normal human. The woman collapses on the Hospital floor. The nurses take her to a hospital room. When the doctor arrives, the woman is just sitting upright on her bed. She is motionless. She remains calm, until the doctor tries to sedate her. She then goes ballistic and starts thrashing up and down. The nurses hold her down, but when he places the needle on her arm, she opens her mouth, revealing rows and rows of thin, needle like teeth. The nurses are repulsed by this. The doctor finally asks what is she, and she replies "I am god" before breaking loose of the nurses grasps and killing everyone except for one nurse. She crawled out of the room in all fours like a spider and was never seen again. The surviving nurse named the hellish woman "The Expressionless"
10. CHILDREN WITH BLACK EYES
There have been many reports across the US about Black eyed Children between the ages of 8-16 knocking on your doors at night. If yo answer the door, they'll ask if they can either use your bathroom, or use your phone. If this ever happens to you, turn them away. I know it might seem a little mean spirited to send a lost child out into the night, but it's for the best. If you let them in, they just stand in the same spot, feeding on your soul, until you collapse onto the floor dead.
9. CANDLE COVE
Back in the 70's, there was a Children's programming called Candle Cove. The show featured hellish and creepy imagery, characters who ate human skin, and then they would terrorize the child characters on the show. If that wasn't creepy enough, kids who would watch this show would ask their parents if they could watch it, and parents would see their children watching static for 30 minutes.
8. CLOWN DOLL
A young woman is house sitting for a husband and wife who are on vacation. While she's there, she finds a very creepy life sized clown doll sitting on their bed. The clown doll's eyes seem to follow her wherever she went. Feeling creeped out, she threw a sheet over the clown doll and locked the bedroom. She went downstairs to watch TV for a few hours, and then the husband called to check in with her. She said everything was fine, except the life sized clown doll in their bedroom kind of creeped her out. The man immediately told her to leave the house. When she asked why, he replied "We don't have a clown doll"
7. THE WEEPING WOMAN
In olden day Mexico, a woman had fallen in love with a handsome Matador. They married and had two children, a son and a daughter. But one day, the woman had found out that his husband had been unfaithful, and was seeing another woman. In rage, when the husband left to see his other woman, she took their two children to the river and drowned them to punish her husband. repulsed by what she had done, the husband killed her. Her spirit still roams the earth, Searching for her children. Hoping to reconcile with them.
6. RUSSIAN SLEEP EXPERIMENT
Back in the 40's, Russian scientists made volunteers go without sleep for 17 nights. The experiment went well for the first four days, but when they finally got to day twelve, all the volunteers went insane. They were eating their own flesh and speaking in gibberish. The experiment had to be ended earlier than expected.

5. HANGING MUNCHKIN
In the movie, the Wizard of Oz, After Dorothy and the Scarecrow convinces the Tin Man to go with them (Off to see The Wizard) In the far right corner of the log cabin, a dead munchkin can be seen hanging from a nearby tree. Whoever, the "Hanging Munchkin" was merely a bird extending it's wing. However, in the 1980 VHS tape of the Wizard Of Oz, the image portrayed is clearly a hanging Munchkin. Heck. Dorothy and her friends point and walk past it.
4. KIDNEY HEIST
A womanizing business man goes into a bar planning to trick a woman into having sex with him. He spots a beautiful young woman sitting by herself. He sits next to her, and begins flirting. He tells her a story of how his wife is dead, and he's really sad about it. She tries to comfort him. He thinks he's got her fooled, but the next thing he remembers is waking up in a bathtub full of ice. There's an incision mark on the side of his thigh. He begins to panic, and then he sees a note taped to the mirror saying that he needs to call 911 right away. When he gets to the hospital, he finds out that one of his kidneys are missing, and that the woman he had met earlier was a notorious con artist who have already sold multiple organs on the Black Market.
3. ALIEN ABDUCTIONS
Many people claim that they have been abducted by aliens. Normally, skeptics would laugh this off, but what makes it so unsettling is how similar the stories are to one another. It always starts the same. Someone is driving in the wilderness and pull over for a certain reason. When they do, a white light beams on down to them and renders them unconscious. That's when the aliens take them to their spaceships. People who claimed to have been abducted have the same description of the aliens who abducted them. Empty black eyes, grey, naked bodies and bulbous, hairless heads.

2. SLIT MOUTHED WOMAN
In Japan, there supposedly roams the spirit of a woman in a trench coat and a surgical mask. If you ever come across her, she'll ask "Am I Pretty?" If you say yes, she'll take off her mask, revealing nasty slits across her mouth that goes from ear to ear. She'll ask "Am I still pretty?" If you say yes, she'll pull out a pair of rusty scissors and cut your mouth from ear to ear, so that you could be "pretty" too. If you say no, she'll take those same scissors and kill you with them.
