Urban legends are stories people swear are true. Someone heard it from a friend, who heard it from a cousin, who knew someone it happened to.
These tales spread because they feel real. They happen in familiar places—parking lots, highways, babysitting jobs, summer camps. The details change as they travel, but the fear stays the same.
Some are warnings. Some are mysteries. Some are just too strange not to repeat.
Most never happened. But that doesn’t stop us from checking the backseat before driving home.
