10 Urban Legends That Turn Fact into Fiction

There are a number of urban legends that have been passed down from generation to generation. These stories are so well-known and believed to be true that they’ve become part of our culture. However, many of them are not. 





In this article, we list some of the most popular urban legends that can make you think twice about them. From the suspicious reasons why the light turns green to the suspicious looks you get while driving, these urban legends are more than just a story. These are actually scenarios that have been passed down from generation to generation, and it’s time we debunk them. Here is a list of some of the most popular urban legends that can make you think twice about them.


Aliens in the Sky


This urban legend seems to have taken hold in the 1990s. It claims that if you lift up a rock on a road, you may see a little alien inside. It is also said that if you take a picture of it, the picture will turn out blurry when you look at it. This is because the aliens are using the photo to communicate with us.


This is one of those urban legends that make you think twice about it. If you do happen to find an alien in the road, don’t panic. Aliens don’t belong here on Earth. Instead, they are usually near a planet called Vega, which is a part of the Milky Way. Vega is not visible to the naked eye because it is too far away from Earth.


Dogs and Cats Can’t Be Friends


This urban legend has been around for a long time, and we can’t stop wondering if it’s true or not. It claims that dogs and cats can’t be friends because they’ll fight when they meet each other. This wouldn’t be a bad idea. A cat is often an intruder in a dog’s territory. A cat can be dangerous to a dog’s health. One of the reasons for this is that cats go through a process called “kittening.” In this process, a cat’s mother cleans the kitten’s intestines, so the cat is not affected by the bacteria that can cause diseases in a dog.


A Handshake Can Earn You Money


We’ve all heard about this urban legend, but is it really true? Well, the story says that a man got a pair of handcuffs from his friend. He asked his friend to shake his hand, but instead, his friend gave him a full-fledged handshake. The man took the handcuffs and the police were called to the scene. The man was arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer.

This is a very interesting urban legend, but it is not true. Handshakes do not cause people to get beaten up by the police. In fact, the police are not allowed to shake your hand as part of their dress code.


A Little Deodorant Can Save You From a Big Cologne


This is one of those urban legends that we think is more of a cautionary tale. The story goes that a man wanted to test a new cologne. He sprayed a little bit of the cologne on a tissue, and the next day he wore the cologne to work. His boss smelled the cologne and got mad at him.

The man felt ashamed, but then he thought of an experiment. He smelled the cologne on a tissue and sprayed the cologne on a wall. The next day, he went to work and his boss smelled the same cologne and got mad at him.

This is a true story. A man named Kenneth Cole was so upset with his boss for accusing him of using a cheap cologne. So he decided to conduct an experiment. He sprayed a little bit of the cologne on a tissue, and then sprayed it on a wall. His boss smelled the cologne and got mad at him.


You Shouldn’t Cross Your Legs While Sleeping


This is one of those urban legends that will make you think twice about it. It claims that you should not cross your legs while sleeping because it can cause artery damage to your legs.

This urban legend is not just false, it’s completely absurd. There is no medical research that proves that crossing your legs while sleeping can damage your arteries. We think this legend came about because people used to cross their legs while sitting on airplanes. Now, people are more likely to place their legs on a chair or a table while sitting.


The Light Turns Green for No Reason


This urban legend is a false alarm. It claims that the light turns green for no reason. The story says that the light is green for no reason. There are other explanations for the green light, such as the fact that there are many cars in front of you, and you need to wait for them to pass. You can also try to turn the signal manually to see if it will turn green again.

This one is a bit of a stretch. The story is that the light turns green for no reason. The explanations are that there is a lot of traffic in front of you, or that you need to wait for other cars to pass.


Showering Immediately After a Run Can Cure Cancer


This is another one of those urban legends that will make you think twice about it. It claims that you should shower after a run to wash off the impurities that come with running. Showering immediately after a run might create a better running experience, but it is not going to cure cancer. Showering kills any bacteria or viruses that come from the outside. You can’t get rid of impurities from your body.

This urban legend is false. Showering is not going to cure cancer. If anything, it is just going to make you feel cleaner and less inclined to get an infection.


Conclusion


There are many urban legends that can make you think twice about them, and many of them are false. There are also those that are true. This list is just a peek at some of the most popular urban legends, but they are not the only ones out there. Do your research and you’ll find plenty more that can make you think twice about them.
