Le Signal du Silence : À Paris, il est dit qu'il existe une station de métro abandonnée où, si vous descendez à minuit précise, vous pouvez entendre un signal inaudible pour la plupart des gens. Cependant, ceux qui l'entendent sont connus pour disparaître sans laisser de trace. La légende raconte qu'ils sont choisis pour rejoindre une société secrète qui contrôle la ville depuis les profondeurs.

L'Horloge de l'Apocalypse : Dans une petite ville de la Provence, il y a une vieille horloge dans la place centrale qui, selon la légende, s'arrête chaque fois qu'un événement catastrophique est sur le point de se produire. Les habitants de la ville affirment qu'elle s'est arrêtée juste avant le déclenchement des deux Guerres mondiales, l'accident de Tchernobyl et le 11 septembre. Les autorités locales, bien entendu, nient ces affirmations, mais les habitants restent convaincus.

Le Manuscrit de la Sorbonne : Il y a une rumeur parmi les étudiants de la Sorbonne à Paris selon laquelle un manuscrit médiéval est caché quelque part dans la bibliothèque de l'université. Ce manuscrit, écrit par un alchimiste célèbre, contiendrait le secret de la pierre philosophale. Plusieurs étudiants auraient disparu en essayant de le trouver, leurs noms étant ajoutés à une liste secrète tenue par le bibliothécaire en chef.

Les Statues Murmurantes de Montmartre : À Montmartre, à Paris, se trouvent plusieurs statues d'artistes célèbres. La légende raconte qu'à certaines heures de la nuit, on peut entendre les statues murmurer entre elles.

Selon la légende, les artistes eux-mêmes auraient insufflé une part de leur âme dans ces statues avant leur mort.

Among the real urban legends :

West Hobart taunted house. West Hobard is an inner city suburb located in Tasmania, Australia. Over the years, several allegations of haunting, ghosts and other paranormal activities by tourists and residents. It's an old town with creepy vibe. At least one of these stories has some truth. Late 1980s to mid 1990s, rumors spread about a house in West Hobart who was apparently so haunted it drove its residence insane. At first locals stayed as far away as possible from the supposed haunted house. Authorities got involved months later. It's true that the house's residence appeared to be going insane but it didn't have anything to do with paranormal activities but with the fact that a detour vine had been growing through the trees directly above the home and dropping leaves into the family's rainwater tank. For quite a time the family inadvertenly consumed micro doses of plant every single day, whihc made them slowly but surely loose their sanity as they sank further and further into delirium. Datura is a specy of plant within the nightshade family also known as jyms and weed, the devil's weed or devil's trumpet. The plant itself looks harmless but it has extremely powerful hallucinogenic properties, which is why it was used for centuries by native american tribes in coming of age rituals and other important ceremonies. The Aztecs also used it as a painkiller. in certian rituals, namely in ritual sacrifices and it's also a common ingredient in the ritual of zombification in the Haitian Voodoo religionw here it's referred to as the devil's cucumber. In low to medium doses it causes extremely distressing delirious expriences and in higher doses, it can lead to paralysis, and even death.

Cropsey. In Staten Island during the 1970s, there was an urban legend about a man named Cropsey. He was a serial kidnaper that lost his son and resorted to stealing other people's childrens to deal with its grief. According to the legend, he also had a hook for a hand, scars, burns and wounds covering his entire face and body, and a generally horrifying appearance. Considering the mass area of the inhabited Woodlands, it's unexpected that a tale like this would make it to mainstream culture. But it wasn't just a tale invented to keep their kids from venturing too far into the woods and getting lost. Althought the legend has some made up elements such as the hook and the horrifying scars, at some point in early 1970s, childrens in Staten Island began to disappear. Lines between legend and reality started to blur. Andre Rand was a man from Manhattan born in 1944. He moved to Staten Island in the late 1960s. After workign at the infamously brutal Willowbrook state school for children with disabilities, Rand was arrested in 1969 and server over 1 year in prison for the attempted attack of a 9 years old girl. When he was released 16 months later, reports cropped up of more litle girls disappearing including Alice Pereira who was playing in her building's lobby when she suddently disappeared without a trace. Over the decade, Rand was the prime suspect. But it wasn't until 1984 when he picked up 11 kids from a local YMCA and brought them fast food before taking them to the airport that he was finally arrested and sentenced to 10 months in prison.
Despite the disappearances there was never enough evidence to put him locked up for a long time. After years of letting him walk into the streets, the police finally had a breakthrought in the case in 1987 when they found undeniable evidence that Rand has been behind the disappearance of Jennifer Schwier, a 12 years girl with Down syndrome. In 1988 he was sentenced to 25 years in prison. When he was behind the bars, more and more evidence were found and tied him to several other disappearances in Staten Island in the 1970s and the 1980s. In 2004 he was charged with only the disappearance of Holly Ann Hugues who who went missing on July 15th, 1981 near RIchmond Terrace and Park Avenur in Staten Island. She was 7 years old. The criminal will get out in 2037, meaning that he will be 93 years old by the time he gets out.

The Maine Hermit. During the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s, there were reports of over 1 000 breaks in in North Pond cabins and for decades nobody knew who was responsible for this. The thiefs were already carried out when no one was in home. However the cabin owners eventually found a pattern, always peaking in the days before Memorial Day and after Labor Day. As for the stolen items themselves, they ranged from food to cooking ustensils to books to propane tanks to toileteries of all kind. The thief was named the North Pond Herman even if nothing pointed out that the breaks in were carried out by a single person. In 2002, 100 people attended a North Pond homeowners meeting and when someone asked how many of them had suffered break ins, almost all of them raised their hands.
For years, people thought he would never get found but on April 2013, a man named Christopher Thomas Knight was arrested in the middle of the woods in the North Pond area by an officer who made it his sole mission to bring the thief to justice. It turned out Christopher had been living in the middle of the woods all by himself with an unheated night tent surviving only from the things he stole from other nearby North Pond cabins. He survived winters with temperatures of 20 degrees below 0 for years. He didn't get any medicine for 3 decades. He didn't have a single conversation with a human being except for one time when he ran into a hiker and only said hi. He los tinterest of keeping track of time. So when he got asked since how many times he stayed in the woods, he replied since the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown which took place in 1986. He was 20 years old when he decided to become a hermit. He never gave a real reason of why he decided to disappear. To preserve his privacy, he never lit fires, only moved at nights, hadn't had any kind of communication with the rest of society for more than half of his life. He never drove a car, sent an email or even known was the internet was until his arrest. His only real possession were his glasses which he wore for almost 30 years and could be seen in his Lawrence High school yearbook picture from 1984. He was sentenced to 7 months in prison after which he once again disappeared. He is probably living a quiet and peaceful life in rural Maine.

Purple Aki. Akinwale Oluwafolajimi Oluwatope Arobieke (born 15 July 1961), commonly known as Purple Aki, is a British man known for his criminal convictions for harassment. He has been convicted for touching and measuring the muscles of young men and asking them to squat his body weight. At first rumors were so ridiculous that it became an urban legend. But as time went on, it became clear it was not just a story made up by teenagers, but a real guy. In 1986 his story would take a pretty dark turn. Around that year, 16 years old Gary Keller walked home from school when he ran into Purple Aki who immediatly asked to feel his muscles. Freaked out by the weird request, Gary said no and ran away. Later that same year, Aki followed Gary to a local outdoor swimming pool and when the teenager noticed he ran to New Brighton train station, jumped into the railroad tracks to get away from Aki. But Gary was accidentally electrocuted by one of the rails. Aki was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, charged with harassing 14 different teenage boys and sentenced in prison for quite a long time but in 1988, he found an appeal that the only reason he was convicted was because he was black. Judges agree that there was no evidence to find that he was responsible for Gary's death. He was awarded 35 000 pounds of compensation. Between 1988 and 2006 he went in and out of jail for failing his compulsions to touch, feel and measure other people's muscles. In 2003 he was arrested for an additionnal 15 charges of harassment and intimidation. Hewas sentenced to 6 years in prison. He was prohibited for waiting outside schools in the area. A few months after he got out, he got jailed for 15 months for coming back to the same antics. In 2010 after another release he was arrested again and then again in 2015. Right now he is still alive and free.

According to a Swiss legend, people had been running into a mysterious human like figure in the Freeborg forest. in the western part of the country near the town of Mauls since the early 2000s. He was described as being 6 feet tall and always wearing a vintage looking gas mask, a boiler suit and a cloak. He was reported as harmless by the reports but still it was terrifying. Eventually for years the story was classified as an urban legend. And the name Le Loan was given to this mysterious humanoid, also known as the ghost or the Herman of Mauls. But the story gained international interest when in 2013 the swiss french paper " Le Matin " published the first photography of Le Loan who was sent by a hiker. A lot of people would come to make a trip in the woods outside Mauls to haev a chance to catch a glimpse of Le Loan.Le Loan's clothes were found later that year in the middle of the woods with a note titled " the death certificate and the will of the ghost de Mauls
