A walk through some of the most well known (and lesser known) urban legends from schools and workplaces involving...awful accidents.

I could potentially do a few more of these Urban Legends episodes in the future, that gather modern folk tales and legends under a heading. As many of them are a little too short for one episode.

Buried alive.
