Halloween Massacre (Halloween Urban Legends)

Ready, set, say cheese! Or stare devilishly into the camera while wearing a black mask. One particular photo from 1962 continues to spread a legendary story about a Halloween massacre. The plot goes that the man in the black mask in the photo above was at a costume party and decided to lock all the doors in order to attempt murdering each and every guest. 

Seven partygoers met their end and the man was never caught. It wasn’t until 1969 that his mask was found by the FBI. Is it true? Obviously not. But the possibility of such a slaying still sends shivers down the spines of costumed revelers everywhere.

Corrupted Candy (Halloween Urban Legends)

The common saying “don’t take candy from strangers” dates back to the abduction of Charley Ross in 1874, who was lured into a horse-drawn carriage with a treat and never seen again. So while there is an ounce of truth to the saying, not all candy is out to do evil. 

Still, the annual rumors persist and run the gamut—from razor blades hidden inside candy apples to candy corn laced with arsenic. While poisoned candy remains in the realm of urban legend, instances of sharp objects concealed inside foodstuffs and handed out during Halloween have occurred. Moral of the story? Be cautious with your sweets.

Organ Thief Taxi Drivers

A few years ago, a story that conquered the world was the story of the taxi driver organ thieves. That is right: according to a Korean legend, some taxi drivers used to sedate their customers so they could steal kidneys and other easily removable organs. 

Apparently, scalpels were used and if the victims came to during the surgery, there was no anesthesia to help them deal with the pain. After the robbery, the bodies were dumped in fields or on the side of the road.
