There was an actual event in my HS the year after I graduated. Some wacked out chick brought in a stylized dagger (wavy blade, skulls, the kind you get at a flea market for $5). She tried to stab someone, got tossed on the ground and arrested, then when she was leaving, she cursed the student body and said something along the lines that the walls would flow with blood and they were all damned.
You guessed, it. DnD was blamed. This was in 1988, somewhat after the whole DnD = satanic thing had started to die down. She really gave goths (I guess proto-goths in '88) a bad name in town as well.

Although I know this isn't D&D, I once heard an outrageous Magic:the Gathering is Satanic Rumor. Some guy claimed that there were these five guys that started playing M:tG one night and only two survived. They got possessed by the "dark forces" of the cards and started to kill other players who were "killed" in the game. For example, one player was defeated by a fireball card, so the surviving players doused him with gasoline and lit him on fire.
Of course, like all urban legends, no specific time or place was provided. Only the fact that it was a third or fourth hand account. It's amazing what some people will believe.

A few years ago, a class-mate said "Didn't some D&D players go into a cave and kill each other because they thought they were Ore's or something?"
I just laughed.....he also kept using the words "This a true STORY" and "This is true, I heard it from my uncle, who heard it from his pastor who heard it from some mother's dog who over heard it at the supermarket, so it's true"

Ohh. Ooh. I saw that one. They had this Kewl underground set up where they put speakers and paper monsters in the way so they could LARP it up.
But then Tom Hanks turned evil and started stabbing people...
Which is really stupid because he was supposed to be a cleric and everyone knows clerics can't use bladed weapons...
