Скачать или смотреть 253 | From Fact to Fear: True Stories Behind Urban Legends

Folks, this IS a Tangent Heavy episode. So if you're someone vehemently against taking the scenic route, you will almost certainly not enjoy this episode (or 90% of this show if we're being honest). Toodles.

There’s something about urban legends that sticks to the skin. You hear them once—around a campfire, at a sleepover, whispered down a darkened hallway—and they never quite leave you. They're the stories we half-believe, even when we swear we don’t. The ones we dare each other to test, knowing deep down that something might be listening.

This week, we’re pulling back the curtain on some of the most infamous legends that have haunted us for generations. But these aren’t just stories told to scare. Behind each one lies a sliver of truth—a real event, a real person, a real moment in time when the ordinary world cracked open and let something else in.

From a killer lurking in lovers' lanes with a hook for a hand, to a man in a rabbit suit wielding an axe in the woods of Virginia… from ghostly girls who vanish from car seats to the blood-soaked face you might just see staring back from your mirror—these tales didn’t come from nowhere. And tonight, we're digging up the roots.

So sit back, Settle in, And remember—every legend starts with someone, somewhere, who swears… it really happened.

We'll see you on the inside…
