Gators in the sewers of New York. I have heard other variations of Bloody Mary, but it's still the same trick with the mirror in the dark. "Biggie Smalls, Biggie Smalls..........Biggie Smalls."

I like the one of the family adopting a stray chihuahua that turns out to be a hairless rat.

alligators in the sewers, earwigs climbing inside your ear or if you drop a coin from the top of the empire state building, and if the coin hits a pedestrian (who's at ground level) on the head, the coin will fracture the skull and kill the pedestrian.

i like the first one because i like the idea of famously wild animals living in an urban environment. the second one was on a classic episode of the night gallery that use to scare me as a kid. and the last one was tested on Mythbusters, the myth was busted but the coin travelling at those high speeds hitting you on the head would hurt well more than i thought.

if you ever watch MonsterQuest, one of the episodes actually looks into the validity of gators in the sewers.

I always enjoyed the one where if you make a bad face, and someone slaps you on the back, your face will stay in that position. Though I doubt parents still tell kids that one, if you ever see the movie One Crazy Summer, it happens right near the beginning of the movie.
