Favorite urban legends

I've got 2:

The Spook Lights in Northeastern Oklahoma: http://www.prairieghosts.com/spooksville.html
People have seen them for over 100 years, but the source of the lights are a mystery.

Next ... a friend told me this story about someone she knew (so no verification):
A woman had a pet snake (oxymoron) that wasn't eating a lot. She found it laying beside her, length-wise, in her bed a few times. She would put it on the floor but thought it was kind of odd. She asked her vet, who specialized in snakes, about it.
The vet said, "Please get rid of that snake TODAY. He's starving himself and measuring his length with your body to see if he can swallow you whole." (This 1 totally creeps me out.)

My sister and her husband just moved to Joplin. He is also working at his practice's satellite office in Miami, OK.

I just LOVED calling them last night and telling them, "Guess where you live? The "Spooksville Triangle!" So far, he hasn't seen any "spook lights" on his drives between Joplin and Miami, though.

My sister is really into Halloween, so she appreciated hearing about this legend.

Why would she have a snake roaming around her house. Lock that thing up, idiot!!

I had a client assessment in Bridgeview this week, across the street from Resurrection Cemetery. Nobody told me that it was the Resurrection Cemetery known for Resurrection Mary until I came back, the rats!
