CARMEN WINSTEAD

The urban legend of Carmen Winstead emerged in 2006 when chain letters began circulating online. Some letters are written like dramatic news accounts, others are in the voice of Winstead's ghost. All of them relate the same sad tale of a teenage girl who was pushed down a well to her death. Now, her ghost wanders the earth, killing people who receive this chain letter but don't forward it. But is any of this true?
