| Buried Alive There once was an elderly lady who had been very sick for some time. She went into a coma and finally passed away. Her husband of 50 years was grief stricken and just couldn't accept that she was gone. After the doctor pronounced her dead, the husband insisted that she was NOT. He felt as if he knew her so well, and just knew she was still alive. He had to be forcibly pried away from his wife's body. At this time, people were buried in simple plots in the backyard. As his wife was being buried, he put up such a fuss that the doctor sedated him. His wife was buried and there was nothing he could do about it. Over the next week, the husband had several nightmares of his wife desperately trying to claw her way out of the coffin. Each day he begged the doctor to have her body removed from the grave, but alas, to no avail. Finally the doctor gave in and had the local authorities remove the grave. Upon opening the coffin, they found, to everyone's shock and horror, her fingernails bent and broken, and scratch marks on the coffin lid. The Exploding Cactus This particular scary urban legend has several different variations but all entail a cactus full of eggs. A woman goes to a nursery and buys a HUGE beautiful cactus. She puts it in her sunroom. Later that day she is admiring her new cactus, but notices something peculiar. It appears to be breathing. The woman calls the nursery and explains what she sees. The clerk tells her to get the cactus out of the house "RIGHT NOW!!". The woman becomes alarmed, drops the phone and runs to the cactus. She manages to get the cactus out of the house and into the front yard. As she backs away, the cactus begins to almost heave. Suddenly it explodes and thousands of baby tarantulas come spewing out. Fatal Hairdo Back in the 70's, a very trendy teenager grew tired of all the work and time it took to create and maintain her extreme beehive hairdo. So she washed her hair with sugar water and allowed it to harden in her favorite beehive style. At night she would use a special pillow that allowed her to sleep without disturbing her hair. She would also wrap a piece of cloth around it to ensure it held its shape. One morning the teen failed to come down for breakfast. Mom went upstairs to get her out of bed only to find her daughter laying there dead...having been gnawed to death by rats. |
