Yo, podcast peeps, hold onto your funny bones for a quick, cackle-worthy spin through a Cosmo article from 2020 dishing 17 urban legends that’ll make you snort-laugh and sleep with a teddy bear! Killer in the backseat? Some creep’s chilling in your car, ready to star in a slasher flick. Real cases exist, so lock your doors or get a clown car for easy escapes! Hook-handed maniac? Smooching at Lover’s Lane, you hear scratch-scratch, then find a hook on your car door. Based on 1950s pranks gone wrong—worst date ever! Bloody Mary? Chant her name thrice in a mirror, and she yeets your selfie game into the ghost zone. No proof, but don’t risk it during your next TikTok. Sewer gators? NYC’s got ‘em, thanks to flushed pet alligators in the ‘30s. They’re living large, munching pizza crusts. And the vanishing hitchhiker? Pick up a spooky rando, and poof—they’re gone, leaving your car seat haunted. Real folks swear it happened! From poisoned candy (mostly fake, but check your Skittles) to a clown statue that’s a murderer (yep, real serial killer vibes), these tales are like a comedy-horror open mic night. They’re warnings not to be a doofus, perfect for scaring your buddies at 2 a.m. Hit up Cosmopolitan for all 17, and good luck trusting mirrors or sewers again!#urbanlegends #spooky #comedy #Killer #hook #bloodymary #SewerGatorGoals #vanishinghitchhiker #creepyclown #cosmos #podcast #ratking
