Have you met or been in a situation that sounds like an urban legend?

[HabsAddict]

Way back in University, in Montreal, my future wife moved out from her parents and got a roach infested apartment.

One morning around ten, the future wife already had left for work and i was getting ready for school. Suddenly I hear a pounding from the door. It was our next door neighbor in complete panic mode. She was shaking, clothes askew and stuttered that...the CIA is hitting her with lasers. I was stunned. She was a "normal" person we talked to and had coffee over several months but this? All of a sudden? I actually was startled, confused and a bit later, seriously concerned. She could of had a knife and gutted me on the spot.

At first, I was going to bring her into the apartment then thought better and convinced her to go back to her apartment and lock the door. That would stop the lasers.

She did. And I got dressed and took off for school. All day I was debating what to do and finally decided to skip classes and meet my wife before she left work. I wasn't sure if we were in any danger, but I wasn't going to find out late at night after classes....from cops and ambulances in front of the apartment building.

The door stayed firmly locked and before she left for work, I would be present.

This happened around 1975-76. I was thinking about it the other day and wondered where the hell would she get the CIA and laser story. The net wasn't even a dream for decades. Then I remembered that back then, we had underground papers filled with conspiracy theories and garbage mags in corner stores.

To end the story...nothing happened. We moved out to my apartment a very short while later and never saw her again.

Sooo..have you been involved in what amounts to urban legend stories?

Closest I can say is I once toured a house where a somewhat famous (locally) murder-suicide took place. Creepy, it was.

There used to be a bit of an urban legend around a guy who posted around the Lounge. He was half Duck and half Jet, or so the legend goes. Nobody knows what happened to him.

He was either my Vice President or I was his Vice President. I don’t recall the details.
