Urban Legends

Not everything is as it seems! Each episode features three extraordinary stories from the realm of Urban Legends—but only one tale is true. Can you figure out which? We kick off with the legend of a junkie who got shot at close range, found the Lord and then miraculously coughed out the bullet lodged in his chest. Then, we meet a German on a business trip to Rio, who wakes from a night on the town to find he’s had one of his kidneys stolen. And to top it off, there’s the story of a gang leader who sends a new recruit out on a deadly mission—but winds up dead himself. You’ll have to wait until the very end to find out which Urban Legend is actually true! But in between, we’ll entice you with mini-myths about a finger found in a bowl of chili, two fingers found in a Doberman’s stomach, and a dead guy roaming the streets drunk.

The three tall tales we offer in this episode are certain to excite, entertain, and scare you! But which tale is true?

In our third episode, we have three stories of people who get into hot water when a good idea goes wrong. But which tale really happened? Would you put your poodle in a microwave oven to dry? Well, the woman in our first story did. Poor pooch. Then we meet a family who hates Christmas. After you see their story you’ll understand why, when Santa’s trip down the chimney brings Yuletide tragedy. Lastly, meet a man who designed his own ingenious flying machine, and cheats death on the maiden flight. Find out which tale is true at the end of the show! And in between, we show you how a hamster came to its demise, how a woman accidentally blew up her house, and how a butcher went too far with one his favorite patrons.
