Holy shit - I guess I never read that one. And I'm not surprised about it being an urban legend - some of the Darwin's stretch the imagination a little too much.

I grew up here in New Jersey on all sorts of local strange tales. As kids we would scare the crap out of each other telling the stories in the dark.

Well about 10 years ago Barnes and Noble (big bookstore) printed a book called Weird New Jersey. Son of a bitch - all those stories out of my childhood were printed along with some of the history behind them. It was doubly scary to realize that some of the stories were based in fact.
