URBAN LEGENDS

The curiously Realistic Decoration Myth:

Legend:

The legend of this story is that there was a typical halloween decoration of a woman hanging from a tree, but than later turned out to be a actual woman that hung herself from a tree.

Truth:

On a Tuesday night close to a busy road in Frederica, Delaware a woman 42 years old hung herself from a tree. The body hung there until the next day. The people who saw it just thought it was an halloween decoration since halloween was not far away. But when the people of the town realized it wasnt actually a halloween decoration and it was a real woman hanging from a tree the phone the police to report the suicide.


My Response:


I would say that this story has a good appeal. When I read the myth at first i didn't think it was true. Someone hanging themselves on a tree across from some houses in a public view. It really makes you think about the people in this world, and frankly it terrifys me. I don't think I would take it very well if someone hung themselves across from my house only a few days before halloween.
This myth, or story would be a great creapy halloween story to tell around the campfire or something. It would really bring out the fears in the people listening to it.
