7 crazy urban legends handed down from generation to generation

According to the legend, Russian scientists in the 1940s took 5 prison inmates and locked them in an airtight chamber with a special gas inside that made them unablу to sleep. They wanted to study the effects of sleep deprivation over 30 days. On day 5, the inmates stopped talking to each other. By day 9, some of them were screaming, begging to get out. One of the others tore apart the books they were given, smeared them with their own feces and then covered the one way mirror with it that was used to observe them. By day 15, the scientists announced over the intercom that they were coming in.

However, the inmates no longer wanted to be freed. They opened up the chamber to find one of the prisoners had been torn to pieces by the others. The team tried to surgically reverse the damage on their brain but they resisted and couldn’t be sedated — they just laughed and laughed. They repeated that now they were madness that lurks within us all, they were what we hide from in your beds every night.

This story started when a bus full of mental patients crashes on the side of the road. While the police caught most of the escaped inmates, two remained at large. After that the local people started discovering skinned bunny carcasses. One of the prisoners was found hung from a bridge skinned and left just like the dead bunnies. Rumors say that visiting the bridge after midnight will get you killed by the bunny man himself.

This is a Japanese tale in which a woman’s face is slashed from ear to ear leaving a smiling scar before being murdered by her jealous husband. She is known as Kuchisake-onna.

In 1985, a fire devastated the home of a couple in Rotherdam, England. In the ashy ruins only a painting called “The Crying Boy” by Italian artist Giovanni Bragolin was found unscathed. Soon similar stories began cropping up from firefighters from all over Europe. The painting was said to be cursed. Some believed that the boy from the picture caused the fires himself. It was said that the painter burned matches in front of the child’s face to make him cry. Thus, the fires were the boy’s revenge.
