The Hookman:

This urban legend has been around since the 1980s, but it’s just as chilling now as it was back then. The story is about a man who murders people and then uses hooks to replace his hands. The Hookman is often described as a large, burly man who wears a trench coat and has hooks for hands. The urban legend goes that he went door-to-door asking people if they wanted their windows cleaned. Once people opened their doors, he would kill them and then use his hooks to clean the windows. Unfortunately, the urban legend spread like wildfire and resulted in a number of people being killed. Eventually the media had to step in and put an end to the hysteria. They managed to trace the story back to a single source, who claimed it was all one big joke.

“Mary”:The story of “Mary” has been around for decades and has been featured in several films and TV shows. The story, which dates back to the 1960s, involves going into a bathroom at night and saying the name “ Mary” five times while looking into the mirror. If done correctly, the story goes that the ghost of an old woman will appear in the mirror. From there, the story varies, but she is often described as a malicious spirit that likes to kill people. This urban legend has been around for decades and has spread to people all across the globe. Everyone knows about this story and many people have either tried to summon her or have been tempted to do so. Most people don’t believe this is real, but that doesn’t mean this story isn’t creepy. It’s the perfect story to tell around a campfire when it’s dark outside and you want to unsettle your friends.
