Top 10 Scariest Urban Legends Ever Part 1 Plus a spotlight of Bloody Mary

Cemetery Tales Podcast

Nothing makes you jump out of your skin faster than a scary story, but it isn't just the stories that scare us.

We humans have been telling each other scary stories for centuries, and endless urban legends have sprung from those tales. Where would horror movies be without urban legends? On the other hand, where would urban legends be without horror movies? It's an inseparable bond that keeps us up at night and coming back for more every Halloween.

So what are some of the best scary urban legends around? Here is our list of 10 scary urban legends to get you in the mood for Halloween… if you dare!

1. Bloody Mary

Although this urban legend has been around since at least the 1920s, it still terrifies us to this day. In this story, a girl named Mary would sit in front of the mirror reciting "Bloody Mary" over and over again until she comes into appearance. If you see her, she will kill you by scratching your face with her long sharp fingernails. However, there are plenty of ways to save yourself if you don't want to die. For example:

- Stare at her reflection instead of directly into the mirror (this makes it so she cannot enter our world).

- Close your eyes for 5 seconds before repeating her name (if done successfully, she will not be able to harm you - but you'll lose your chance to see her).

- Pretend like you're going to say her name and then stop. She will ask "What? What do you want?" If you reply with "I don't want anything," she will leave (but this is a gamble, as she may try to take your life anyways).
