Message: <blockquote data-quote="mistergone" data-source="post: 1109870" data-attributes="member: 9647">This kind of stuff always fascinates me. Not so much ghost stories and UFO sightings, but rather the just plain weird stuff. A few comments:-one of the first posts mentioned a graveyard with a monument that had "the dead shall rise" carved on it. I'd like to see a picture of that. If anything, it would just be a cool thing to see.-the idea of killer clowns freaks me out beyond all reason. Sure, the idea is ridiculous, and in a twisted way comical, but it still freaks me out. I've never liked clowns, and I never will. Something unnatural going on there, and I've never EVER heard anyone who was or wanted to be a clown that sounded like a reasonable sane person.-"strange creatures" are among my favorite stories. Even the "mexican pet" tales are interesting. And hilarious that it's enough on a phenomenon to have a category name like "mexican pet". Sounds like soemthing you can get in Tijuana if you know where to ask, wink wink.-the "distraught groom finds missing bride is sideshow" is freaky. never heard that one but yet it seems familiar.-sadly, I don't know of any urban legends in my neck of the woods, though i know of a lot of places around here that could easily be the source of them. There are stories of tunnels under old town and much of downtown, and apparently homeless people live in them, but I've never seen the tunnels. Although my Mom works downtown and one time was walking somewhere on her lunch break and passed over a grating and just happened to look down and see some guy sitting down there looking up.Edit: Oh, I forgot Dorthea Fuente(sp?), owner of a local boarding house some years ago that poisoned something like 7 elderly people over the years and kept collecting their social security checks, all the while having them buried in the small side yard. Creepy, but not supernatural. True though, so not really a legend either.Maybe some of my fellow locals (and I know you're out there) can help me out with this, but yeah, local legends, I'm just not familiar with.-I saw a website not too long ago that had pictures and blurbs about several "gateways to Hell" around the UK. Of course, these were just pictures and blurs, the site was a joke, but interesteing regardless. I've since lost the address however.-All of this inspires me to run a horror game of weirdness, but no way would I use D20 Modern. My first choice would be Unknown Armies, but they already have a lot of the coolest stuff explained away, and the setting doesn't do it all for me, either.Uh, yeah, it's late and I'm rambling, but yeah.</blockquote>
