Myspace Teen Ghost

Myspace has gotten a lot of bad press thanks to pedophiles, gangs, etc. This urban legend ranks pretty low on the list. A story began circulating late last year about a girl who died in a sewer. The story included a warning. If you didn't repost this story on Myspace, the ghost of this girl would kill you. Of course, this one is not true.

What supposedly happened was a girl named either Carmen or Jessica was pushed down a sewer by five girls in her school. The purpose was to embarrass the girl, but instead, she broke her neck on the ladder and her side on the concrete bottom. The five girls told police that she fell and they believed them. If you didn't pass on the story, the ghost of the girl would come through the sewer, toilet, shower or whatever and get you or if you were sleeping, you would wake up in the sewer. Then, she would kill you by breaking your neck and peel skin off your face.

Snopes did a search and found no record of any teen girl dying in such a manner anywhere in the U.S. It was determined that this was nothing but a chain letter. I can kind of see why some may take this seriously because five teen girls pushing another one down a sewer to humiliate her and then take no blame for it sounds like something teen girls would do unfortunately.

I signed up for Myspace in January and I haven't gotten this one yet. However, if you are a member and your receive this, remember it's not real, it never happened and just delete it.

First of all, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Horror Day. Later on tonight, you will have a chance to win 1,000 BlogMad credits. Keep checking for that. Now on to tonight's first story. Henry Adams hired American sculpture Augustus St. Gaudens to construct a memorial for his beloved wife, Marian "Clover" Adams who committed suicide after the death of her father. After four years, the piece was finished in 1891. It was never officially named, but it was mostly known as the "Adams Memorial" and later "Grief". Stories vary as to how it received that nickname. The statue was so fascinating that a sculpture named Eduard L.A. Pausch copied it. The statue would go to be named "Black Aggie". General Felix Agnus purchased the copy in 1905 to place at his family's tomb. Then had a monument and pedestal created that would closely match the setting of the Adams Memorial in Washington. No one knows exactly why he chose this statue. A year later,

Upon searching the creek, she was found dead (allegedly by her father), having drown. Circumstances concerning her death unknown. Variations of this story has her mother following her in death.

Lorelei Inn

In Green Bay, Wisconsin and looking for some good German food? Lorelei Inn may be the place for you. Built in 1926, this restaurant was named after a woman in Germanic folklore named Lorelei. She falsely accused of bewitching men but was soon pardoned. Unfortunately her victory would be short lived. She climbed a rock looking for her unfaithful lover, slipped and fell to her death. Lorelei Inn has only been owned by two families and doesn't have a seedy past. However, it is believed to be haunted by several spirits. Footsteps have been heard in the upstairs area. One of the spirits believed to haunting this restaurant is a former owner named Leonard Hack. He supposedly hangs out at his once favorite place, the bar. Many have felt his presence there as well as smelled cigarette smoke. He is also believed to visit the basement area where the office is located. Objects move around on their own, sometimes pots fall off hooks. The TV turns on by itself. There's also a haunted ta
