Gah, you gave me a shiver.

Anyway, I decided to try and do some research, and look what I found on "The Woman in White"...

I read the history! Scary! Different from what we saw in Supernatural, and what we read here in this thread!

Melting4OTH · 09-15-2005, 03:06 PM

This is the coolest thread ever. I cannot wait to see what other things Supernatural will touch upon.

Thanxs for liking the thread, I didn't see that. Would you guys like that in the opener, because its the actually "Women in White" story

What's the graveyard wager about?

Maybe the opening post could have an index. like say:

Pilot - Woman in White (also known as: The Weeping Woman, La Llounca [I can't spell]) Folklore differs on the details of this tale, but one thing remains the same, a woman dressed all in white is seen and often heard. Varying from tales of a scorned lover haunting the riverbed where she drowned the children from her relationship with the unfaithful man in a fit of rage - to a woman hitchiking, often seeking a ride home (a few miles) and sometimes dispensing knowledge years in advance. In the show the woman had killed her children after discovering her husband's infidelity. Upon realizing what she had done she commited suicide herself and began haunting the road near her home, extracting revenge on men who have been unfaithful. She was afraid to go home and face the restless spirits of her children.

And then do that for every show, like ep 2 would look like.

Wendigo - Wendigo (also known as: blah) Description of our research. Description of the show's version of the mythology.

or does that sound stupid?

No that sounds good Ash, it will be a cool resource for anyone wanting to know about each UL easily.

Here is the urban legend that the eppy was based on. I couldn't find anything about the actually name "Lady In White", but I did find this. Its exactly the same, but different name. I think this is when this legend started

That is one of my favorite UL's (though I've heard different versions) and I was so pleased when I saw that the show used that in one of their eppies.

Bent137 · 09-16-2005, 08:27 PM

Heh, I try not to think of the urban legends I've heard, because in my old age I freak out easy for some reason. (Maybe I'm just getting more paranoid?) But for pop rocks and coke stand out in my mind.

KaboomLT · 09-16-2005, 10:10 PM

I love the pop rocks and coke story. It always reminds me of "Urban Legend"..."Mikey likes it." Although I had heard it before that.
Most ULs make me really paranoid, though. I always look under my car at night, and check the back seat, and never flash my headlights at anyone...stuff like that.

I found a really great UL site www.snopes.com
There's so much stuff there. I had never even dreamed there could be that many stories floating around.

Thanxs for the website, I'll add it to the opener

lolitaro · 09-17-2005, 11:49 AM

Wow, that is one cool website! thanks for it!!!

Its interesting how they have devoted their time to it
