Trivia
Unlike traditional folk tales, which are generally associated with rural preliterate societies or with stories told by the very old to the very young, urban legends are shared and believed by people of all ages, classes, professions, and education levels. Every state has their own tall tales. The Travel Channel is my source for this series.

Is Old Gray Cemetery in Knoxville, Tennessee truly haunted? A beautiful historic cemetery with Victorian architecture, Old Gray Cemetery is the final resting place of many prominent members of Knoxvillian history, including individuals like playwright Tennessee Williams' family, Congressman Henry Gibson, and Civil War figures. It is also well known for another occupant, though it does not seem to be a final "resting" place for the dark shadowy figure known as the "Black Aggie". There have been a multitude of sightings of this mysterious shadow; it seems to roam at night weaving between the tombstones in the cemetery. Several seem to think that the figure is unaware of anyone else and is simply going about its routine. Others report having been chased away by the aggressive force which may be protecting certain graves. Have you ever visited Knoxville, TN?

The debate on which "Spook Road" is the real Spook Road has carried on for years, though there is much evidence that it exists near Brandon, South Dakota. There are many theories about the road including one that claims if you drive away from town and count the number of turns, and then drive back and count them, you will end up with different numbers. One of the road's most distinguishing features are its bridges. Legend says that you'll cross 5 bridges going one way and only 4 on the way back. Some folks will tell you there are 6 bridges, while others will say there are 7. As if this wasn't weird enough, many cars have also wrecked on this road, which often leaves drivers with an unsettled feeling. While some people believe Spook Road is mere folklore, others will defend it to the end (with some die-hard believers even creating a Facebook group about the spooky road). Does this sound like a trip through The Twilight Zone to you?

If you spot the Gray Man in Pawleys Island, South Carolina go home! The story of the Gray Man starts in the 1820s. The legend goes that he's a cloaked figure who wanders the beaches ahead of major storms. Like most ghosts, the Gray Man's story is one of young love lost. The man is rumored to have been traveling from Charleston to propose when his horse got stuck in the mud. He was thrown off, trapped and dragged under. He's a friendly ghost, and if you're lucky enough to spot him, your home might be untouched in the next storm. Have you ever been in a hurricane?

Bus to Nowhere might sound like a song you would have listened to during your angsty teen years, but really it is mass transportation for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's lost and hopeless. Also known as 'Zero' or 'The Wandering Bus,' it's most often spotted in the areas of West Powelton, Center City, Passyunk, and North Broad — Dauphin & Glenwood area. The bus has no LCD display and is not listed on any transportation maps. It is said that the bus only appears to those left truly distraught and alone by the most tragic circumstances imaginable. The bus apparently only stops for people who have suffered a tragedy, and some say once you get on the bus, you never get off. Do you use public transportation?
