The Most Popular Urban Legends From All 50 States

Skinwalkers – Arizona

Skinwalkers appear all over the country but are centralized in Arizona. They are naked, skinless creatures that will stalk lonesome people in the dead of night. Of course, they will try and rip your skin off. Native American tales say that Skinwalkers used to be witch doctors in life and then became a reflection of that "evil" in death.

Bonus: Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary is one of the most told urban legends of all time. Every kid has played this game at a sleepover once or twice! According to the legend, you must look into the bathroom mirror with all of the lights off and the door locked. Then, you say her name three times and she will appear and kill you... If it works.
