About this listen

 Welcome to Brain Waves, where we explore the strange, the mysterious, and the intriguing. I’m your host, Shaun, and today, we’re diving deep into the shadowy world of urban legends. You know the ones: the creepy tales whispered at sleepovers, the eerie stories passed down through generations, and the bizarre myths that feel just a little too real.

From haunted roads to unexplained creatures lurking in the dark, urban legends have a way of getting under our skin. But what is it about these stories that captivates us? Why do we keep telling them, and more importantly—why do some of us believe them?

Tonight, we’re going to explore the origins of some of the most spine-chilling urban legends from around the world. We’ll dig into the history behind these tales, their deeper meanings, and what they reveal about our fears and cultural anxieties.

Have you ever heard of the vanishing hitchhiker? Or how about the terrifying story of the Bloody Mary mirror ritual? Whether it’s supernatural, sinister, or just plain strange, these stories thrive on the edge of reality, where fact and fiction blur. And in the age of the internet, these legends are evolving, spreading faster and further than ever before.

So sit back, turn down the lights, and join me as we unravel the eerie and fascinating world of urban legends. Just be warned—some of these stories may make you think twice the next time you hear a strange noise in the dark.
