Ever Heard of an Urban Legend?

Wicked Cruel

Three Urban Legends

by Rich Wallace

Urban legends are stories that get told over and over.  You never know how much of the story is true and how much is rumor.

These three stories take place in a New England town steeped in legend, from the 18th century cemeteries to the old roads that wind through the woods but go nowhere!

Spooky...Maybe you've heard the same stories but with different details...that's what makes these urban legends!  Perfect for pre-Halloween, shivery nights, reading in the dark by a flashlight!
