One can hope.

When signing up for interaction there was a spot to include an urban myth. I added one from my home town and offered to provide pictures. Maybe I'll make the list?

I added one also (the myth that Vegas casinos pump oxygen into the air to get people to stay up and gamble longer).

That's only a myth? Razz I added my hometown's old abandoned insane school/campground where the teacher went nuts and tortured and killed all the students.

 		I emailed the webmaster asking if he/she had any more information about the Dread House urban legend, and whether or not they knew if it was true. Hopefully I'll get a response...

 		If you dig into the source code, you may notice that there is a statistical traking site that is being used called net-filter.com.

Net-filter.com's client list:

http://www.net-filter.com/clients/index.php

An interesting (and quite impressive) list, including the United Nations in Pakistan. Also, as far as I can tell, they serve primarilly European companies. Whatever we have stumbled into here... it could be quite elaborate.

 		Emails from UrbanMythology
Hey folks - let's keep all the emails together in the Interaction forum.

I'm getting a little jealous. I signed up days ago and haven't heard back from her yet. Sigh.

 		I haven't received a reply yet, but she posted her website on the Urban Legends/snopes.com message boards (06/13/04 and 06/18/04) in reference to the dream projector. It seems kind of weird that she listed an ARG website on a legit board.

Why not? It's just another means to find the rabbit hole.

 		Broken link
n00b.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I noticed a broken link on the banner of the Hi, Chair page (http://www.urbanmythology.net/legends/hc.html). The link to the home page is missing the final L in html.


I've reported this to the webmaster Amanda, and will post an update when I receive her reply.
