The Abandoned Briefcase





I heard this story about a month ago. My friend Judy's neighbor in Seattle was rushing to pick up her son from hockey practice. She was low on gas and pulled into a self-serve station.

As she was filling the tank a well-dressed man in a business suit approached her. He explained that he was in Seattle on business, had a meeting at a downtown hotel, and his rental car had engine trouble. Was she, by chance, driving downtown? The hotel wasn't far out of her way so she was happy to give him a lift.

He put his briefcase in the back of her car while he went to the washroom.

The woman paid her bill, and, realizing that she was running late, drove off, forgetting the gentleman who had asked for a lift. She continued on her way, picked up her son, and drove home.

It was not until she got out of the car in her own driveway and saw the briefcase in the backseat that she remembered the man. She opened it looking for ID.

Inside there was nothing but a knife and a roll of duct tape.


Someone Has Stolen My Kidney





Sometimes, the strangest stories turn out to be true. I know this event took place because a friend of my Aunt Muriel told me that it happened to my cousin Bill.

Bill, you see, is a gambler. How many times did I try to warn him? "Bill, Bill," I'd say, "You can't keep running off to Las Vegas. Something terrible is going to happen to you."

And something terrible did happen! Bill doesn't remember much about the bizarre event. One minute, he was having a drink in the hotel lounge with some people he had just met and the next thing he knew, he woke up in a bathtub full of ice. Written with lipstick on the bathroom mirror were the words:"We have taken one of your kidneys. Call 911." Someone had placed the phone near the tub.

Shaking with fear, Bill dialed the emergency number. "Someone has stolen my kidney", he screamed into the phone.

"Oh no, not again," said the emergency response person. "Sir, are you sure? Please check your back for an incision."

Sure enough, there was a long cut on Bill's back.

"Get back into the tub of ice, sir. The paramedics will be there immediately." Well, the paramedics arrived and Bill was rushed to the hospital. Apparently there is a large black market out there for kidneys. I sure hope Bill learned his lesson. I told him something terrible was going to happen.

Embarrasing Deaths



A young man in Texas returned home after a night on the town, tripped on his garden hose, fell, became further entangled as he struggled, and eventually strangled himself!

An angry golfer threw his club at a golf cart. The club broke in half, and one piece ricocheted back at him and sliced open his jugular vein, killing him.

A hospital worker in Massachusetts was dragged into an industrial dryer. He didn't survive the six-minute tumble at 120 degrees.

Blooody Mary



Legend: Chanting "Bloody Mary!" thirteen times in front of a candlelit mirror will summon a vengeful spirit.



If you go into the bathroom and look into the mirror with the lights off and the room completely black, and then say 'Bloody Mary' thirteen times, a woman will appear and scratch your face off.

I was told that if you said "Hell Mary" seven times in front of a mirror in a dark room, you would see Satan's image in the mirror. The story was embellished further by the teller, who claimed that after three "Hell Mary", the mirror turned red, and that after five an unclear face appeared.

Here's how I always heard the story. You go into a room with a mirror and turn all the lights off (this works well in a bathroom). You begin, in a whisper, to chant "bloody mary. bloody mary, Bloody Mary", as you continue to chant your voice should grow louder and louder into a near scream. While you are chanting you should be spinning around at a medium rate and taking a glimpse in the mirror at each pass. Near the 13th repetition of the words . . . "she" should appear and...?

A friend of mine said that her roommate tried this and ran out screaming from the bathroom. She was shaking and appeared genuinely terrified and refused to talk about the incident, but those who were around her when she came out noticed that her clenched fingers were covered in blood.

Summoning Mary requires the right chant. "I believe in Mary Worth" is the key phrase according to one version, but others require the shouting of "Kathy, come out!" or the repetition of "Bloody Mary" into the mirror as many times as the ritual demands. (Sometimes Bloody Mary gets more of a script and is summoned by calls of "Bloody Mary! I killed your baby!")

The precise requirements of the ritual vary. Some specify that the mirror must be illuminated by a single candle; in others, there must be a candle on each side. In some versions, the message to Mary is repeated by just one girl who is either a volunteer or one selected by the others to summon up the mirror-witch. The number of chants needed to fetch Mary also varies.

What the mirror-witch does upon arrival varies too. She may strike her summoner dead, drive her mad, or fiercely scratch her face. She may merely peer malevolently out through the mirror, or she may drag one of the girls back through it to live with her.

Black Agnes



Legend: A teenage girl who bets her friends she can spend the night in a cemetery is found dead in the arms of a graveyard statue.

A marble gravestone in an old deserted cemetery in West Virginia was the legend trip site for a particular group of young adults in the vicinity. The marble statue was of a seated lady, her hands outstretched to all that pass by the resting place. The legend stated that the woman in the grave had died of a broken heart when jilted by her fiancΓ©. The legend trip was an initiation rite: new members had to spend the night sitting in the statue's lap. But the last time anyone tried this, the young woman who sat in the statue's lap met with a tragedy. The difference, you see, was that the young woman was a direct descendant of the fiancΓ©!

The next morning the young girl was discovered, still sitting in the statue's lap. She was dead. On her body were found marks as though she had been held in a superhuman clutch. Perhaps the seated lady had gained revenge.

Bed Reckoning



This photo was taken in a hospital after the patient was in an accident where he was responsible for a young woman's death.

It is said that when you receive this image and do not send it to at least five people, the woman will look for you during the night to collect your soul.

People in Laredo, Texas, received this image and did not send it and were killed outside a bar; it looked as if this woman killed them. Send it to five people or the woman will look for you.
