Urban Legend

Hookman of Percy Warner Park:

I can't recall when I first heard this tale, but it seems to have been with me as long as I remember. There is supposedly a large rock located somewhere in Percy Warner Park, Nashville, where many people have reported seeing a hookman. The hookman only appears after dark and people whop have parked near this rock have heard the scraping of metal against their car.

Train Tunnels

Whenever I have driven through a train tunnel there have been at least one person to beep their horn for no apparent reason except that of beeping. This leads me to think of the horn-blowing practice as a type of folklore.
