  • Terrifying Urban Legends That Actually Happened
    Oct 30 2025

    What if the stories that kept you up at night as a kid weren’t just stories? In this episode you'll learn what really happened on Lovers' Lane in 1946, why the "check your backseat" warning exists, and how many times hotel guests complained about a smell before someone finally looked under the bed. This is the truth behind the terror, and it's somehow worse than the stories you remember.

    Lets pull back the curtain on 4 urban legends we all grew up hearing and the unsolved cases that started them all.

    --

    Topics: The real stories behind the most popular urban legends, Urban Legend (1998), bodies under motel beds and inside the mattresses, the story of Rock-A-Dundee road, the killer in the backseat, lovers lane, the town that dreaded sundown, Texarkana Moonlight Murders, the hook man aka the hook handed killer, the bunny man, Bunny Man Bridge Virginia, Wendigoon’s the killer in the walls, freaking yourself telling scary stories, and life saving advice (you’re welcome).
