DURING FAMILY WEDDINGS, AT THE RECEPTION, ALL THE WOMEN
PICK UP THE GROOM, CARRY HIM INTO THE BATHROOM, TAKE
OFF HIS TUXEDO AND LEAVE HIM. HE MUST STAY THERE UNTIL
THE BRIDE DECIDES THAT HE CAN RETURN TO THE CELEBRATION.
"IT WAS A TRADITION IN MY MOTHER'S FAMILY THAT BETWEEN THE
CHURCH CEREMONY AND THE RECEPTION THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY
TOOK THE BRIDE AND GROOM TO A FAIRLY FAMILIAR PLACE
(USUALLY SOMEONE'S HOUSE) AND TIED THEM TO A BANNISTER.
THE FAMILY WOULD THEN LEAVE THE COUPLE. IF THE BRIDE AND
GROOM COULD NOT FREE THEMSELVES BY THE TIME THE RECEPTION
STARTED, THE FAMILY WOULD RESCUE THEM. INSTEAD OF HANDING
DOWN THIS PARTICULAR TRADITION, MY MOTHER AND HER SISTERS
MADE UP A NEW ONE THAT OUR FAMILY COULD HAND DOWN."

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, ABOUT TEN, MY FRIENDS AND I WOULD RIDE
OUR BIKES TO THE DRAINAGE TUNNELS NEAR THE HIGHWAY.
AT THE ENTRANCE OF ONE OF THE TUNNELS THERE WAS A
MESSAGE WRITTEN IN RED PAINT THAT SAID, "FORBIDDEN
ZONE - DO NOT ENTER." ON THE SIDE OF THE TUNNEL WAS A
HANDPRINT - THREE TIMES LARGER THEN AN AVERAGE HAND -
THAT LOOKED LIKE IT HAD BEEN PRESSED ON THE CEMENT WHEN IT WAS WET.
WE RODE OUR BIKES BACK HOME AND GOT OUR BOW AND ARROWS,
BB GUNS, BASEBALL BATS, CAMERAS, AND OUR FLASHLIGHTS.
WE WANTED TO INSPECT THE INSIDE OF THE TUNNEL.
WHEN WE GOT BACK TO THE TUNNEL, EVERYONE WAS TOO SCARED
TO GO IN. WE ALL FINALLY WENT IN TOGETHER WHERE WE
SAW MORE WRITINGS, SUCH AS, DANGER -- GO BACK -- /LEAVE AT
ONCE. WE ALL GOT SCARED AND RAN. WE DECIDED TO CALL THIS
PHENOMENA THE SEWER MONSTER. MANY OF THE YOUNGER KIDS
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD NOW WON'T GO NEAR THE DITCH BECAUSE
THEY ARE AFRAID OF THE U.F.O. THAT THEY HEARD ABOUT.

A FRIEND FROM WORK WENT SHOPPING AT A MALL ONE DAY.
WHEN SHE GOT BACK TO HER CAR THERE WAS AN OLD LADY
SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT WHO SAID, "CAN YOU PLEASE TAKE ME
HOME?" MY FRIEND ASKED HER IF SHE WAS LOST. THE
WOMAN REPLIED," YES, PLEASE HELP ME." MY FRIEND ASKED HER IF
SHE HAD A PHONE NUMBER OF SOMEONE WHO COULD COME PICK
HER UP. THE LADY GAVE HER A NUMBER. MY FRIEND TRIED THE
NUMBER BUT IT WAS BUSY, SO SHE CALLED THE POLICE. THE
POLICE CAME AND FOUND THAT THE OLD LADY WAS REALLY A MAN
WHO HAD DRESSED UP AS A LADY. HE HAD BEEN SITTING ON
A HATCHET.
Submitter comment: MY SISTER SAID THAT SHE HAD HEARD THIS STORY MANY TIMES BEFORE.

A FRIEND FROM MY WORK TOLD ME THAT HER FRIEND STOPPED
FOR GAS AT A STATION ONE DAY. THE ATTENDANT ASKED HER
HOW SHE WOULD PAY AND SHE GAVE HIM A CREDIT CARD. THE
ATTENDANT CAME BACK TO THE CAR AND SAID, "I'M SORRY MISS,
BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO COME WITH ME TO SPEAK WITH THE
MANAGER." MY FRIEND ASKED IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT
THE ATTENDANT SAID THAT HE COULD NOT DISCUSS IT.
THE LADY WENT INSIDE THE STATION AND THE ATTENDANT SAID,
"I HAD TO GET YOU OUT OF THE CAR. THERE WAS A MAN HIDING
IN YOUR BACK SEAT HOLDING A HATCHET."
