5. High Beams (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark)


Have you seen the movie Urban Legend? If not, watch the first 15 minutes or so. It's the scariest part of the film and it's based on this legend.

A girl was driving home alone at night and she noticed a truck following her. The driver began to flash their high beams on and off at her and she started to panic, not knowing what they wanted. When she finally pulled into her driveway and yelled for her parents to call the police, the man in the truck got out, carrying a gun in his hand. He explained to the police that in the back seat of the girl's car, there was a man with a knife. Every time the man sat up to attack her, he would flash his high beams so the man would duck back down.

I love stories like this because they could happen. They probably have happened. Urban legends have to start somewhere, right? Always check your back seat before you get in the car.
