Answer 1

The Hook.

Answer 2

I like the one about the ghost rider in the sky cause i was allways told about the ghost rider when I was going to bed at night by my good pa

Answer 3

I've always liked the "Have you checked the kids" one. The baby sitter getting calls from someone who keeps asking this, and it turns out the he's in the house and has killed the kids. I actually had someone tell me that "they knew the girl this happened to". I guess that's why it's my favorite.

Another fast food restaurant one is the finger found in the chili at Wendy's.... oh, wait, that one is TRUE.  Wendy's in San Jose, CA, near the office I used to work at.

Answer 4

I like the one about the guy who gets into his car and there's an old woman sitting in it but then it turns out that it's a man dressed as an old lady and he has an ax.  I remember when I was a kid my sister telling that one and believing that it happened to a friend of a friend of hers.

I like the one about the faith healer who was killed by a religious/political conspiracy and then came back from the dead.  It's thoroughly debunked, but people keep circulating it as a true story!
