Subject: RE: Urban myths (and legends)
In my town in the UK ther is a large shopping centre that is served by several multi-story carparks. Anyway, my friend's aunt had been to the shopping centre do buy some groceries and she had been talking to a doctor friend of hers who had told her that one of the psychiatric patients from a local asylum had escaped. He had been sent for rehabilitation after being found guilty od six murders with a machete. My friend's aunt enterd the carpark and as usual it being arainy english evening the place was deserted and with extremely bad lighting, she took her keys from her handbag and was about to open the car door when she saw that it was already open. Thoughts of the machete murderer in her mind she naturally became extremely frightened. she heard a noise dropped her groceries and ran for the nearest exit. She founs a policeman and asked him to accompany her back to the car. He looked around the vehicle but saw nothing suspicious, relieved she thought she must have left it open, got in a drove home. As she was pulling into her driveway, she went over a pothole, she heard a clanking. metallic sound come from under the passenger side seat. When she had parked in her garage she leaned over and searched under the seat, her hands met with a cold metalllic object and her eyes opened wide with terror as she pulled out a 2 foot long machete.....and that's a true story. *grin*
