Urban Legends
Of all of the urban legends that I have read, there are a few of them that i find the most interesting. One is about a man who fell to his death out of a skyscraper. A lawyer from Toronto, Garry Hoy, was trying to prove the strength of windows on the 24th floor of the Dominion Bank Tower by ramming into them shoulder-first. He had done this many times before to impress young law students, but this time he crashed through the windows and fell 24 stories to his death. Another of the more interesting urban legends is the legend of "bloody mary." The myth is that if you go into a dark bathroom and shut the door and yell the words "bloody mary" into the mirror 13 times, a ghostly image will appear in the mirror and kill/harm you. This is far from a proven fact, but its far from completely false as well as there is multiple accounts of this actual event occuring to different people.
