An Urban Legend

 

Photograph(s) copyright Shaun O’Boyle

An Urban Legend  which must start with a grain of truth to be truly effective, is a story which has been  embroidered and retold  and then sent, fully dressed, into the realm of myth. The power of the Urban Legend lies in it’s ability to be passed on  so far, so fast and so often.

Once created Urban Legends  move on and take up residence in our computers and mailboxes, they join us at Pubs and Water-coolers and on long bus rides and plane rides home..

Urban Legends

are stories whose sole purpose is to haunt us.

 

 The Fort Mountain Ghost

 

 On a trip to Georgia this young man asked a friend to take his picture to send home to his family.

Right after taking the picture the photographer went into convulsions and died, it was determined later that the person who took the picture had a bad heart.

and the young man in the picture?

He never actually saw the picture, his camera was lost on the way to the hospital.

He resurfaced recently“ in the news.

Apparently he had a bad heart too, because after viewing the image he died from ‘heart failure’ as well.

The young man in the picture saw the image in an e-mail as part of Internet e-mail ‘hoax’ and from both  his death and the death of the photographer and  was born the

Urban Legend Called

The Fort Mountain Ghost

 

 

 

 

One Night

One Night

I set out on a trip all by myself.

I didn’t have a map or a ticket I didn’t know where I was going.

But I went alone.

And I was alone.

For awhile.

Towards the end of the trip I heard someone coming towards me-

slowly.

And then I heard someone breathing

just around the corner from where I was was walking

all alone.

And then I stopped.

” Someone there? “

I asked.

No one answered.

” Hey!  Is someone there? ” I called a little louder.

The breathing stopped and the footsteps came towards me-

from around the corner and I closed my eyes tight and put one foot in front of the other and then I flew towards the breathing and the footsteps and the voices that cried out:

” What the hell was that? ” came the voice from behind me and then below me as I took to the darkness above ” What the Hell was that! “

FBI Agents Ordering Pizza

The following is a direct quote from the Center for Strategic and International Studies report on GLOBAL ORGANIZED CRIME; the author who introduces the story swears it’s true.

FBI agents conducted a raid of a psychiatric hospital in San Diego that was under investigation for medical insurance fraud. After hours of reviewing thousands of medical records, the dozens of agents had worked up quite an appetite. The agent in charge of the investigation called a nearby pizza parlor with delivery service to order a quick dinner for his colleagues.

The following telephone conversation took place and was recorded by the FBI because they were taping all conversations at the hospital.

Agent:

Hello. I would like to order 19 large pizzas and 67 cans of soda.

Pizza Man:

And where would you like them delivered?

 

Agent:

We’re over at the psychiatric hospital.

 

PM:

The psychiatric hospital?

 

Agent:

That’s right. I’m an FBI agent.

PM:

You’re an FBI agent?

 

Agent:

That’s correct. Just about everybody here is.

 

PM:

And you’re at the psychiatric hospital?

 

Agent:

That’s correct. And make sure you don’t go through the front doors. We have them locked. You will have to go around to the back to the service entrance to deliver the pizzas.

 

PM:

And you say you’re all FBI agents?

 

Agent:

That’s right. How soon can you have them here?

 

PM:

And everyone at the psychiatric hospital is an FBI agent?

 

Agent:

That’s right. We’ve been here all day and we’re starving.

 

PM:

How are you going to pay for all of this?

 

Agent:

I have my checkbook right here.

 

PM:

And you’re all FBI agents?

 

Agent:

That’s right. Everyone here is an FBI agent. Can you remember to bring the pizzas and sodas to the service entrance in the rear? We have the front doors locked.

 

Pizza Man:

I don’t think so.

Post It Here

I have a great collection of post it notes that I keep in my journal (it’s made of paper and I actually WRITE in it). Some of them are funny, some are warped, and some could get me sued so I thought I’d share them here.

amm

To be attached to a flaming arrow and air mailed to that guy:

Your dog doesn’t hate black people, you do. Quit saying that.

 I mean it.

However, my Cat DOES hates you and if you keep trying to pet him he’s going to chew your fingers off and then how will you be able to give the finger to that nice Mexican family that everyone likes except for you?

Think about it

Notes to my friends:

YES YES YES the story about the woman who committed suicide around Halloween of 2005 by hanging herself at the side of the road and was mistaken for a Halloween decoration is true.

Stop asking me if when I die I want to be mistaken for a Halloween Decoration too- you warped little monkeys.

You all better hope there really is nothing to the art of Zombification because I have a candidate list all drawn up and here it is….

Ha.

As if.

In regards to my hometown:

It’s true, if you google Mountlake Terrace and look through the pictures of my fair town you’ll find this picture mixed in with pictures of churches and trees and houses for sale and a baby in a flowerbed.

Figures.

NASA Is So Cool

 

I always knew that those guys at NASA were way cool-

they explore space and ride around in rockets PLUS they don’t have a problem with women drivers.

Today I found out they even  have sense of humor…because according to site meter someone from NASA visited my Writer’s Blog.

They didn’t go for the Cat Litter Cake post…or God Chat or the very, very famous Bruce Campbell page…nope click here to see what they peeked at…….

Smart, brave and a sense of humor. 

If NASA were a man I’d kiss him on the mouth.

Hey Anita Have You Heard The One About…

I’m always getting links to stories that people think I will find ” amusing ” and sometimes people just write me and say, point blank, without the pretense of asking what I think about something they found on the net

 ” I’ve just  heard something really weird Anita, is it true? “

Here are a few of those stories and questions and my answers

POSSESSION AND EXORCISM

According to their objective this site is: 

A web page that (could) offers itself as a meeting place for exorcists and which could present professional doctors with a place for discussion and information exchange about the theme.

They also go on to say :

If you believe you are suffering from some kind of extraordinary demonic phenomenon, you should get in touch with the bishop’s office of the diocese you belong to. They will put you in contact with the specialist in this matter for the diocese, or they will indicate the nearest specialist in a neighboring diocese.

So what do I think?

If you believe in an Immortal Soul and you think it’s in danger I don’t think I’d trust GOOGLE to help me find a way to protect it- that’s what I think.

Did Vikings Discover America before Columbus?

I call these stories The Redneck’s Wet Dream- look the Native Americans discovered America deal with it already. I don’t know why I keep getting these- maybe it’s because I’ve openly supported people who believe in UFO’s.

SOME people may think I’m a pushover for a good story.

But this Viking Vs Columbus story?

I’ve heard better.

Urban Legends-

I get a billion of these a month- mainly from people who want to know what the history is behind certain stories.

I get this one a lot- I figure it’s because I’m Filipina:

You shouldn’t Throw rice at weddings because when birds eat it it swells in their stomachs and causes hemorrhaging. This is why people started using birdseed instead.

Unless those birds have stomachs that are at boiling temperature I’d say it’s safe for them to eat rice….jeeze you guys.

Use a little common sense sometimes-

EVIDENCE IN THE EXPLODING PIGEONS DEBATE

 

Is it true that after you die your hair and nails continue to grow?

The thing of it is when you die- and I mean the minute it happens -your body begins the process of decomposing.

So nothing is going to grow.

Sorry.

If I get a billion questions about Urban Legends then I must get a billion and one questions about ” Real Vampires “ .

As in, are they for real?

I think that some people really do believe they’re Vampires and if that’s the case I’m willing to accept that- but that entire mindset escapes me.

If I could choose to be any sort of ’super being’ I’d want to be Iman.

 

 

So there you have it, these are the bits of reality

that people share with me

every single day.

Pretty nifty, isn’t it?

Northwest Nightmare

  

This was a comment left for a post I wrote called ” Did You Check Under The Bed “ ….  I thought I’d go ahead and run Scott’s comment as a post- it’s a wonderful read about a great show.

 When you’re done visit his site and enjoy…I know I did!

I found your blog while doing my monthly search for all things Nightmare Theatre online, and as usual I enjoyed the reminisces of people who remember the show with as much fondness as I do. I was born in 1968, and watched it religiously from when I was three to when it went off the air in the late 1970s. (As cheesy as many of the films seem now, I’ll take them over 98% of the dreck on the market today.)

 Poe was a favorite of mine as well. (The House on Haunted Hill was the bomb, and his performances in Roger Corman’s Poe adaptations were absolutely unbeatable.) I was also a big fan of the Hammer fare, with Curse of the Werewolf and Brides of Dracula (both regulars on Nightmare Theatre’s sometimes repetitive schedule). One of my favorite memories, though, was the showing of The Mole People followed by Invasion of the Saucer Men, a double-bill which I repeat for nobody’s pleasure but my own about once a year. God bless VHS and DVD technology.

The program was such an influence on me that I am now a professional writer focusing on–you guessed it–all things horror, from award-winning fiction to film history and criticism. Since there has been very little written up about KIRO-TV’s late night show and it’s star, Joe “The Count” Towey, I decided a few years ago to start a fan site devoted to both, which–in light of web host problems over much of 2007–I had to rebuild this last month. (Just in time for Halloween! Forget Christmas; we Nightmare Theatre addicts know what the best holiday of the year is.) Anywho, if you are interested in revisiting a bit more of your childhood, check out my site (Nightmare Theatre NW) at www.nightmaretheatrenw.net.

I have a page devoted to nothing but reminisces like yours, and you’ll probably get a kick out of reading the television schedules for the Friday nights you found yourself–like me–glued to the tube.

It’s nice to see that others are trying to keep this small piece of Northwest history alive. Keep up the great work!

P.S. The Scary Mary clip is absolutely hilarious! It’s amazing what a little bit of creative editing can achieve. (Now if modern filmmakers were at least half as clever, some of the more recent horror fare might by as “scary” as they claim.)
