Happy Halloween, Twisted Listeners! That's right, in this household we start celebrating Halloween September 1st, and we never really stop, at least in our hearts. To kick off this spooky season, we're covering ten cases that have inspired urban legends - you know, the man with the hook for a hand on lover's lane, the call that comes from INSIDE the house, and all those fun ones that scare us as children, but we soon tell ourselves are just stories as we grow. Well, guess what? They aren't just stories after all! Most urban legends are based in a very spooky, scary, and sometimes sad reality, and we're here to tell you all about them! So tune in pull the covers up tight, and get ready for some spooky tales about how your favorite urban legends came to be.
