I'm sorry about my inactivity, I know I havn't been on in a while, but I've been busy looking up things on urban legends. But I've gotten nowhere and I need some help.
See, a few years ago I promised my cousin that I'd write her a book, but I never did, I just forgot about it, hoping that she'd forget too. But now she's dying, and when I found out, I was lost for ideas. So I pitched it to her that I'd write a book filled with urban legends, and not just those short 5-liners, but a chapter for each legend plus art for each chapter title.
What's the problem? I don't know many urban legends, and I'm worried that I wont get it done fast enough; she's already confined to a wheelchair and I don't even have the first chapter, 'The Vanishing Hitchhiker', done. I already have 3 legends I know I'm writting; 'The Vanishing Hitchhiker'(as mentioned before), 'Humans Can Lick Too', and 'Aren't You Glad You Didn't Turn On The Lights?', I just need 4 more legends. So I was hoping that someone here could help me write, or at least throw some legends my way?
Any help I get will be much appreciated and will have proper credit given.

There's a place called www.snopes.com/ that has a bunch of urban legends and rumors on it. It's mostly This-is-true,-that-is-false stuff and scams, but you can use it as a reference to find things to look for. It's the only thing I can help with, because the only urban legend I know of is the Camel Spider, which is so disclaimed that it has no chance of being remotley true, and vanished a while ago. Sorry I can't give out more, but I can help write a little.

Thank you so much. You have no idea how much this helps me. I talked with her about some of the legends that were proven false, and she told me that it could be true or false; she just wants something to read.
But, if it's not a problem, if you can help write, no matter how little, I would be very gratetful.
