IN THIS EPISODE: From monsters to ghosts, some scary urban legends and myths have been spooking out the masses for years \\u2014 and for good reason, as they have backstories based on real figures and events. From Candyman to Slenderman, we\\u2019ll look at a few of the most terrifying urban legends that are based on true tales, and we\\u2019ll look into what it takes to create an urban legend of these magnitudes. (The True Stories Behind Terrifying Urban Legends) *** Unidentified Flying Objects have been around much longer than Roswell. Four centuries ago, before flying vehicles were known to even be possible, ancient Russia had quite a shock when they looked into the sky. (The Robozero Lake UFO of 1663) *** In St. James Episcopal Cemetery in Marietta, Georgia there is a grave that people say began to weep tears of blood when they got too close. (The Halloween Legend of Mary Meinert\\u2019s Grave) *** A man believes he hears the sound of a car crash \\u2013 but it shouldn\\u2019t be impossible from where he lives. (The Unexplained Sound of a Crash) *** While serving a life sentence for the murder of 14-year-old Mary Ellen Deener, Lester Eubanks was granted a trip to an Ohio mall \\u2014 then he vanished without a trace. (The Escape of Lester Eubanks) *** (Originally aired October 26, 2020)
