10. Crocodiles live in sewers in new york.
The rumor that crocodiles live in sewers in new york has been circulating for years or even decades. It is said that crocodiles gather everywhere in the sewer, and crocodiles are waiting for some unlucky guy to enter the sewer and become crocodile snacks. This rumor stems from the absurd news that some people frequently buy crocodile cubs and rush into the sewer.
Obviously, this legend is completely a false story. There are no crocodiles in the sewers of new york City.
Walter Disney didn't die, but was frozen at low temperature.
Walter Disney is undoubtedly the most powerful man in the history of entertainment. His business empire developed rapidly, and he even bought ABC and ESPN TV. It is almost impossible not to contact Disney Group on weekdays. For a long time, there has been a legend among the people that Walter Disney's body was preserved at low temperature. Unfortunately, this legend is completely untrue.
8. Fred Roger is a SEAL.
To be honest, Fred Roger has many reasons to be an asshole. Many people want Uncle Roger to quit forever. The way they do this is to spread the news that this old guy used to be a navy seal. It is even rumored that Roger used to be a reconnaissance sniper in the US Navy.
Although people use all kinds of rumors to make people believe that Roger is engaged in all these occupations, the fact is that he is not as fierce as the rumors say. In fact, he never joined the army.
7, new york kidney-cutting guest
New york broadsword is one of the most famous urban legends. Legend has it that among the tourists who come to new york, many people find themselves lying in a pool full of ice after being knocked over by hemp. When the victim touches his waist-the target of the attack is usually his kidney-he finds that his kidney has been taken away and sent to the black market.
This urban legend had a good mass base in the 1990s, and spread all over New Orleans from 1997, although it was obviously not the starting point of rumors. Of course, the story is fiction. In many versions, both kidneys of the victim were removed-if so, the victim would have died.
6. Coca-Cola Company created Santa Claus.
Why is Coca-Cola always associated with Christmas? There are many reasons. The Santa Claus in Coca-Cola advertisements has left a deep impression on consumers, so that people generally believe that the modern version of Santa Claus we see today, the old man in red whom we all love, is the masterpiece of the marketing team of Coca-Cola Company.
However, this happy fat old man with a beard and a Red Velvet had existed for several years before the promotional pictures of Coca-Cola Company appeared.
5. People only use the brain's 10% ability.
Of all the urban myths listed in this list, this is the one with the largest number of people fooled. Ordinary people's knowledge of neurology is not enough to overturn this conclusion, but people believe that if the brain development exceeds 10%, it may become a powerful figure of Professor X. Perhaps this is why rumors can be circulated for a long time. Who doesn't want to be Professor X?
However, using positron emission computed tomography (PET) technology, doctors can see the activity of human brain, and the observation results prove that the utilization rate of human brain greatly exceeds 10%.
4. Good Donald Trump thanked the motorcycle driver.
Donald Trump has so much to say. Most of his deeds, if printed in black and white, are likely to be prosecuted for libel. However, as long as he is smart, most people agree that he is an arrogant braggart and will never want to believe that he is a legendary generous man.
Legend has it that a stranger stopped his motorcycle to change the tires of the Trump concierge car parked on the side of the road. A week later, the motorcycle driver learned that this man was the famous Trump, and Mr. Trump paid off all the mortgages for their family. This rumor proved to be nonsense, which was fabricated by Trump and his gang, just to erect a personal image for Trump.
Trump continued to spread this rumor everywhere, even telling this story in the previous issues of Who's the Successor. However, these things never happened.
Paul mccartney died and people saw body double.
The most absurd rumors about celebrities in urban legends can be traced back to 1966. It is said that paul mccartney died in a terrible car accident. In order not to affect the album "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band", the remaining members of The Beatles decided to replace the world's most famous singer with a body double who looks like Paul. I hope no one will notice.
Of course, this is completely untrue. Because of this rumor, some people even heard the phrase "Paul is dead" in an album, but the car accident that people questioned never happened. Finally, Paul and his family must appear on the cover of Life magazine to make sure they are still alive.
2. There is no response when the duck barks.
This is the strangest of all the legends about animals. People will talk about this topic in conversation. It is said that ducks can't echo, and scientists don't know the specific reason. Scientific experiments have broken this rumor. Several different duck calls were recorded in the experiment, and the echoes of duck calls could be clearly heard in the closed reverberation room.
Only the echo of ducks is not as obvious as that of other animals. Related: mythbusters: The duck didn't respond?
1, clown statue
The most talked about urban legend is also a horrible legend: a nanny called her parents and asked her if she could cover the clown statue in the corner with a piece of cloth. Hearing this, the parents quickly asked the nanny to pick up the children and leave home. Later, the children's parents said that there was no clown statue at home. Strangely, before that, their children complained to themselves that there was a horrible clown staring at them in the room.
Parents didn't believe their children at first, but this statement came from an unrelated person and made parents believe what their children said. The story goes on, and the clown is finally arrested by the police. It has been verified that he is a dwarf disguised as a clown and always likes to break into houses to look after children.
Although the story is horrible, it is as false as the popular American legends such as Hook Man, Shout from the Room and Bloody Mary. These stories are good stories for people to entertain themselves around the bonfire, but that's all.
