WHAT TO POST
An Urban Myth is something that has 'evidence', yet has never been unproven, Bigfoot, for example.
You may also post subjects regarding strange videos, or just all out unnerving pictures, as long as they have a backstory/strangeness associated to them. Please note that list spam videos and blog spam will not be tolerated without express moderator approval. When in doubt, ask the mod team.
If you want to straight up post something unnerving, and just plain creepy, that has nothing to do with an urban myth, go to /r/creepy
Possible topics include Aliens, Demons, Bigfoot, Slenderman, Crop Circles, Chupacabras, The Loch Ness Monster, Scary locations, etc.
RULES
Low effort posts or poor quality video posts will be removed at the discretion of the moderators. Any content that is spamlike in nature, uninteresting/unappealing, or does not represent urban myths can be deleted.
If you want to post a 'true' scary story that has happend to you, go to /r/nosleep
If something contains nudity, please label it [NSFW], if it contains nudity, yet you do not label it, it will be taken down.
You may not make posts with the sole purpose of finding urban myths related to your respective area. i.e. "Any good myths involving Texas?"

I need a collection of strange, scary or unusual stories!
I'm working on a new play and one of the characters in it is a collector or oddities - things that can't be explained, mystical and cursed items and also travels around asking people what are some of the most strange unexplainable things they have ever encountered or heard of in their life, maybe people that weren't actually people... or people who made a strange decision that ended in something that could not be explained or encounters with strange characters or objects that had odd abilities (that could be depicted in the theatre)
Does anybody know of any weird legends or stories that have faded away or anything particularly that has happened to them or somebody they know they wouldn't mind sharing for some inspiration - a mixture of modern and old would be amazing
Ghost stories are always interesting but I would be more interested in things that involve specific objects that I could incorporate as props or even create illusions based around
Also if any writers would like to use this as a creative challenge to make some strange short stories I would always appreciate that! Any direct help or resources where to find some would be a huge help!!

Until the 1890s, there were people in Britain whose job was being a village’s “sin eater.” When someone died, you paid a sin eater to come over and eat a 'funeral biscuit' that had been placed on the dead body, taking on their sin in the process.
