  • A black dog is the name given to a being found primarily in the folklore of Great Britain and Ireland. The black dog is essentially a nocturnal apparition, often said to be associated with the devil or a hellhound. Its appearance was regarded as a portent of death. It is generally supposed to be larger than a normal dog, and often has large, glowing eyes. It is often associated with electrical storms (such as Black Shuck's appearance at Bungay, Suffolk), and also with crossroads, places of execution and ancient pathways.
  • Baby Train is an urban legend which claims that a small town had an unusually high birth rate because a train would pass through the town at 5:00 am and blow its whistle, waking up all the residents. Since it was too late to go back to sleep and too early to get up, couples would find other ways to amuse themselves in bed. This resulted in the mini-baby boom.[4][5]
  • Black-eyed children (or black-eyed kids) are an urban legend of supposed paranormal creatures that resemble children between the ages of 6 and 16, with pale skin and black eyes, who are reportedly seen hitchhiking or panhandling, or are encountered on doorsteps of residential homes.

  • Bunny Man is an urban legend that probably originated from two incidents in Fairfax County, Virginia, in 1970, but has been spread throughout the Washington D.C. area.

  • The chupacabra (Spanish pronunciation: [tʃupaˈkaβɾa], from chupar 'to suck' and cabra 'goat', literally 'goat sucker') is a legendary cryptid rumored to inhabit parts of the Americas, with the first sightings reported in Puerto Rico.

  • Cow tipping purported activity of sneaking up on any unsuspecting or sleeping upright cow and pushing it over for entertainment.
  • Creepypastas are horror-related legends or images that have been copy-pasted around the Internet.

  • Killer in the backseat (also known as High Beams) is a common car-crime urban legend well known mostly in the United States and United Kingdom.

When she finally makes it home, she realizes that the driver was trying to warn her that there was a man (a murderer, rapist, or escaped mental patient) hiding in her back seat. Each time the man sat up to attack her, the driver behind had used his high beams to scare the killer, after which he ducked down.[7]

The myth is that a witch roams the streets in the night and knocks on doors. The witch apparently speaks in the voices of one's kin so that one would be deceived into opening the door. When the house dweller opens the door he dies.
  • The Monkey-man of Delhi was a mysterious creature or criminal that was reported attacking locals near New Delhi in mid 2001.

T–Z[edit]

  • Teke Teke (テケテケ) is the ghost of a young woman or schoolgirl who fell on a railway line, which resulted in her body being cut in half by a train. She is an onryō, or a vengeful spirit, who lurks around urban areas and train stations at night. Since she no longer has lower extremities, she travels on either her hands or elbows, dragging her upper torso and making a scratching or 'teke teke'-like sound. If she encounters a potential victim, she will chase them and slice them in half at the torso with a scythe or other weapon.
  • The Spider Bite or The Red Spot is a modern urban legend that emerged in Europe during the 1970s. It features a young woman who is bitten on the cheek by a spider. The bite swells into a large boil and soon bursts open to reveal hundreds of tiny spiders escaping from her cheek.

Vanishing Hotel Room: During an international exposition in Paris, a daughter leaves her ill mother in a hotel room; when she comes back her mother is gone and the hotel staff claims to have no knowledge of the missing woman.

Inspiration for the movie So Long at the Fair. Based upon a turn-of-the-century Philadelphia newspaper story.[14]

Vanishing hitchhikers have been reported for centuries and the story is found across the world with many variants. The popularity and endurance of the legend has helped it spread into popular culture.

Jack meets a fairy in 'Jack and the Beanstalk'

Jack is an archetypalCornish and Englishhero and stock character appearing in legends, fairy tales, and nursery rhymes, generally portrayed as a young adult. Unlike moralizing fairy heroes, Jack is often portrayed as lazy or foolish, but through the use of cleverness and tricks he usually emerges triumphant. In this way, he may resemble a trickster.

Some of the most famous are 'Jack and the Beanstalk', 'Jack Frost', 'Jack the Giant Killer', 'Little Jack Horner' and 'This Is the House That Jack Built'. While these heroes are not necessarily congruous, their concepts are related and in some instances interchangeable. The notion of 'Jack' is closely related and sometimes identical to the English hero John. He also corresponds with the GermanHans (or Hänsel) and the Russian Iván.[1]

'Jack tales' are also popular in Appalachian folklore.[2][3]Richard Chase, an American Folklorist, collected in his book 'The Jack Tales' many popular Appalachian Jack tales as told by descendants of Council Harmon. Council Harmon's grandfather, Cutliff Harmon, is thought to very possibly be the one who originally brought the Jack tales to America.[4][5] As pointed out by folklorist Herbert Halpert, the Appalachian Jack tales are an oral tradition as opposed to written, and like many Appalachian folksongs, trace back to sources in England.[6] For instance, where the English original would feature a king or other noble, the Appalachian Jack tale version would have a sheriff. Some stories feature Jack's brothers, Will and Tom. Some Jack tales feature themes that trace to Germanic folk tales. Ferris bueller free online.
