What's your favourite urban legend? **Should also highlight again that this happened in the SOUTHERN Necropolis in the Gorbals, not the Glasgow Necropolis

Im from shetland so the boneless and the wulvers are my favourite

I've been kind of wary of visiting the lochs of Scotland on a foggy night since I heard the Jethro Tull songs "Kelpie" and "Mayhem, Maybe". If it's foggy enough and dark enough, Scotland could put Transylvania to shame. Here in Ohio, Mothman and the Loveland Frog seem very tame by comparison since Mothman seemed to try to warn people of danger, not hurt them, and the Frog sounds like it was just 3 or 4 feet tall

I love this type of content Erin! :) So in the eastern part of the States, we have a folkloric creature called "Mothman", from Point Pleasant, West Virginia. The stories involving this creature are quite interesting.

Great video! I'm originally from the California town where "The Lost Boys" was filmed, as well as the Jordan Peele horror movie "Us." Just down the road is a town where heavy fog caused mass confusion for seagulls one night, providing the inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock's movie "The Birds." I'm making the place sound downright terrifying, but I swear it's really nice! 😂

OMG I recently discovered your channel and I'm in love with these horror stories 😍

Oooooh you did a great job telling the last story. The end with “if you ever visit Shetland make sure to close your curtains when it gets dark”spoooookyyyyy! Thanks again 👻

Went on a guided tour of the necropolis, I have to admit the tour guide was really going for it, the tourists were going crazyscared for it

Love this! Love a good urban legend and good scare too! Especially enjoyed the Gorbal's vampire! Will definitely have to check out that link. Although the blob one was also very weird and very interesting! Don't have any favorite urban legends from Scotland (there's too many good ones), but I have heard that the A75 is supposed to be very haunted, with ghostly figures some look human, some not. Might have been a ufo sighting from there too. As to urban legends from where I'm from in the US, there is the legend of Peg Entwistle aka the lady in white. She was a British film actress back in the early days of film. But after a particularly bad review ended her life by jumping off the Hollywood sign. Hikers have reported seeing a strange figure up there ever since. A woman dressed in white but with a skeletal face and with deep, empty hollows where her eyes should be. The legend goes that those who see her suddenly have a strange urge to share her fate, even if they've never had such an urge before. And in the same exact spot she died years ago, even though it's off limits now. The last reported sighting was in 2012. But, again really enjoyed this! Always like your creepy videos! Thank you Erin!

Thank you! Oh yeah the A75 is a goody! Might need to do a video on it sometime. Ohh that's creepy 😬 thanks for watching!

I really expected the terrifying Scottish Wood Wasp to be included on this list. Though to be fair i guess we now know that isn't just a legend, but an actual living, breathing urban terror.

The blob story was the best of those two , LoL 🤣 don't investigate slapping meat sounds ....good advice no matter where you are LoL

Winner for the funniest line: "I bloody love vampires." There was a man who walked a big loop between New York and Connecticut back in the 19th century. He rarely spoke, and wore a suit of leather. He was a bit of a mystery man. There was only 1 photo ever taken of him. He is known as "The Leatherman". A true legend. When he died he was laid to rest in Ossining, New York. No one ever really knew why he lived that strange lifestyle.

Hey Erin. Ya looking good as usual. What an awesome video. Man you guys in Scotland have got some wee beasties there.

These stories are very interesting. Make more videos on these sorts of topics and on Scottish history 📜🎉❤ 🏰

I love these videos, you need to have your own show on Discovery channel💀

His slug like body, with one eye, torso at times... like an invertabrate shelling his exo-shell. I think the boneless is one of the most important, especially through his link to the nuckelavee, and similiarity with the south american mythical being the lakooma.

In Idaho (and other states in the USA that I can’t remember), we have something called a skinwalker. It’s an indigenous urban legend where when shamans in Navajo tribes practiced magic, some chose to use their magic for evil and to be initiated as a skinwalker they had to kill someone from their own family. After becoming a skinwalker, they can shapeshift into any animal or absorb themselves into any living thing, that’s why you should never look one in the eye. Some say if your pet is acting strange and it’s not due to any medical reasons there’s a good chance it’s actually a skinwalker. Rules to living near skinwalkers are close your curtains after sunset, don’t whistle at night and don’t be curious if you see something unusual. Sorry I know that was a lot but I really get into the paranormal and creepy stuff 😂

THERE SHOULD BE A GAME ON THINGS LIKE THE GORBAL VAMPIRE!! LIKE STRAY/TORMENTED SOULS, THE QUARRY/UNTIL DAWN OR RETRO/RPG PIXEL-ART!!

I love the Gorbals vampire story. If you want to visit the right necropolis to see if you can see anything, you should go to the Southern Necropolis in the Gorbals rather than the main one in Glasgow City Centre. I've never heard of the Blob till now .... thanks for sharing, I need to go catch up on your other tales ❤

@@ErinsHoose It doesn't make much difference to the story, I love the idea of a group of children in the Gorbals getting worked up enough to try catch/kill a vampire. It was purely a wee aside in case someone wants to visit. I'm sure there has been a comic book written based on the myth, need to look it up. I love your videos, especially the language based ones 😍

Comics used to be used as ballast in ships from the USA. Enterprising dockers sold the comics.

I used to play a Scottish vampire named Duncan Montgomerie Gordon for years in a LARP. Now i guess im more a blob. 🤣🎩

Now this is my kind of urban legend, the people being like: “yeah-nah, we’re not lying down for this, let’s all hunt it!”

Definitely don't go investigating any strange slapping noises. Always good advice. I'm originally from the woods of Northern California, the place that gave the world the 1967 Patterson-Grimlin film clip of Bigfoot (or was it?? Haha!).

The Boneless sounds terrifying! I'll take the Vampire with the Iron teeth any day of the week haha. I'm really enjoying these videos Erin! Please tell me you are going to be making more!

Hi Erin. Love your style of story telling and enthusiasm. I don't have any creepy stories. Nice to have you make my morning more enjoyable too. Do a search for Casey Roman youtube. Under her video list are several Halloween stories and ones about haunting's in the south east of the usa. She is a firebrand and lets people know it. Tammy the wee scottish lass also has a wonderful video out too.

Don't investigate any weird slapping noises, you say? Wish I had had that advice some years back 😐 but yeah, cool stories as always! The blob thing kinda reminds me of this creature from a fantasy series...except it didn't attack living people...just absorbed the leftovers.

The boneless are simiiar to 2 mythical beings: The slavic Bezkost ("Boneless") said to be an early form of the upior (prodecessor of the modern vampire). He transforn after he drink enough blood as a shadow being, then became his known, slime like form, before eventually became more human like, taking the look and form of his victim. The scottish Nuckelavee - skiness, sea demon with black veins that look like an horse with fins for feet and human body body with one red eye and long arms, who his breath cause epidemics and destroy crops.

An American Werewolf in London -1981 and of course Lost Boys - 1987 the two are both golden. You should watch the werewolf one and tell us how you’d react to the transformation scene. It was back when they did movies better with animatronic. All the CGI is slightly too much. It takes away from the actual film and look. Plus more people may have had work that was much more fun on a film set. The old Alien movies give those a watch. I saw one from the 70’s on the big screen and it was mind blowing. Cause you could actually see film or set design which maybe a lost art or in fewer films. But I love photography and cinematography. The old films are the best. But yeah sorry for such a long drawn out paragraph. Have a brilliant and beautiful day.

A lot of great horror books that were written by a woman has initials in stead of there first name because of the fear it wouldn’t sell or be a popular if it were written by a woman like ( the lost boys/ Frankenstein)

There is a creature here on the tundra of Alaska that sounds like a baby crying and lures people away. The people that try to find the child get lost or are never seen again.

I went to elementary school with the actor Chance Michael Corbitt for a few years. He was the little boy vampire in the Lost Boys. I remember he was very short at the time. Vampire with iron teeth is a new one for me, but there are people out there that claim to be real vampires and there is even a vampire subculture, were everyone claims to be real vampires. The idea of vampires sucking blood is believed by some to come from the bible verses: "Leviticus 17:11 New King James Version For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’ " Some claim the in original vampire belief the vampire would draw energy from a person and not blood. Now there are those today that claim to be vampires and draw energy from others. Which is always interesting. Although in the Odyssey Odysseus and his men go to an island were they meet a couple that start to rip apart Odysseus men and eat them. So it would seem the blood sucking vampire is not just based on Leviticus 17:11 Now do I believe some people are real vampires and need to suck blood or draw energy from others to stay alive? I'm skeptical. Also I never meet anyone from the vampire subculture or anyone to claim to be a vampire! Any its all interesting! Enjoyed the video as always!
