Urban Legends
The urban legends are stories that are passed by word of mouth created for entertainment, mainly young people. These legends are invented and have no solid arguments.
The story I liked was the "not only do dogs lick" although not very well argued I love the content and imagine the situation of the young girl:
The above story happened to a nine year old girl, only daughter of parents of great influence in local politics, this girl had everything I had wished and hoped for a normal girl with good education, but with an incomparable solitude. His parents used to go to charity parties and meetings of political, and left it alone.
Everything changed when he bought a large breed puppy (ie to look after the child when he grew up), the years passed and the girl and the dog became inseparable. A night like any other parents went to say goodbye to the girl, the dog and used to sleeping with the girl, he prostrated under the bed.
parents are gone and soon the girl fell into a deep sleep, and about around 2:30 am, a loud noise woke her, and scrapes were mild and then louder. Then, fearful, reached down for the dog to the lamiese (was like a code between it and the dog) and he did and then she calmed down and slept again.
When she awoke in the morning he discovered something shocking: The vanity mirror was something written in red lettering. When approached, he saw a trail of blood which read: " ONLY NO DOGS LICK." then screamed in terror when he saw his dog slain on the floor of his room.
is said that when the parents found she was not talking about anything other than 'who licked me? " and say the name of your dog went crazy and so far is in an asylum and their parents, trying to forget what they found in the room and his daughter went abroad. And the unknown
larger, according to those who went to investigate the girl's room, the dog was already dead, that is crucified on the floor for hours.

"TRUTH OR LIE?
Urban legends are stories that, while containing or implausible supernatural elements are presented as facts. Circulate through word of mouth, media and the Web The same urban legend can have many versions. Often the narrator introduces the characters of an urban legend as acquaintances or relatives of someone close. Here I present some of the most popular urban legends in recent times:
A popular urban legend for many years is one that has to people have been kidnapped solely to remove a kidney or other organ , after attending a party or be forced to take drugs.
Another is the ghost girl Highway, which has very different versions. Basically legend has it that a young woman dressed in white hitchhiking appears, usually near a dangerous curve. Asks a driver to take her, when up, is said to lag time in silence until she mysteriously disappears from the vehicle. It tends to have ended after the driver learning that she had died in an accident or a tragic way. Another is
of child abduction or child in Carrefour. It is another rumor that you hear from time to time: a mother is the child of three, four or five years, she neglected a bit, does not see his daughter and starts screaming in despair. Carrefour closed doors so no one can escape .... and after looking around the center, found the girl in one of the services, with completely different clothes which had, with short hair and about to be raped .... Many swear that really happened.

Every night that passed the candle was consumed more and more, but the coins were coming in pairs and would not let any.
One night in the middle of its work the candle began to flicker off by threats of the maid told the girl to come out of the hole, which had money to spare. The girl ignored him and left the cache, but the last time a coin dropped the bag into the hole and in an act of greed and without thinking, got the girl back into the hole. The maid tried to grab her but could not, while screaming at him to please go out there and let the currency, but in the middle of that cries finished off the candle. At the very moment when the last ray of light left in the sail the tile was closed in the eyes of the maid leaving the girl inside.
The maid decided to say nothing to anyone, the parents gave the child to be missing and the subject was forgotten over time. But even today in that house can still be heard at night the cries for help from the girl who repeated night after night in the hall \\ "Please ... help me out of here ... ... \\".
