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.

According to local legend, a pregnant woman named Maggie got in a horrific accident along a short bridge in Seaford, Delaware and was decapitated and died. Her spirit still wanders the bridge, searching for the child that died with her. Some say you can conjure her spirit by stepping out of your car on the bridge and yelling, "Maggie, I have your baby." People also report seeing figures dancing around in the woods surrounding the bridge. Was the Maggie of the story real? No one knows for sure, but a local cemetery does have a grave marker for a Maggie Bloxom who died very young. Would you visit this bridge and call out to Maggie?

If you're superstitious, you may avoid black cats. While some cultures view black cats as good luck, others fear a cursed life if they cross in their path. In the District of Columbia, locals and guards on Capitol Hill fear one black cat in particular. Legend has it that the ghost of a black cat has been seen running loose in the basement and halls of Congress. A few hundred years ago, cats were brought into the basement of the U.S. Capitol building to kill mice and rats. According to legend, Demon Cat is one of those cats who never left. The creepiness in this urban legend is that the appearance of the cat is allegedly associated with misfortune and national tragedies. Some say the cat's first appearance was to foretell the death of John Quincy Adams. The cat was also said to have appeared before the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. Are you afraid of black cats?
