The House at the Bottom of the Lake - Resting in the murky depths of Connecticut's Gardner Lake is a fully intact house; that much is confirmed—by the Hartford Courant , no less. Supposedly, the house sank beneath the surface when a family attempted to move it across the frozen lake in the midst of a 19th century winter. The really eerie part is that, to this day, fishermen report hearing strained musical notes gurgling up to the surface of the lake, supposedly from the parlor room piano.

And the Entire Town at the Bottom of the Lake - It's no Atlantis, but it's probably as close as America is going to get to the Underwater City of myth. In the 1940s, an entire (evacuated) town in Georgia was purposefully flooded with water in order to build what is now known as Lake Lanier. The entire community, including a racetrack, was submerged by the lake-building project. Have you heard of this urban legend?

The "Woman in Black" Haunting the South - The situation isn't quite as horror-movie scary as its name implies. In 2014, a woman dressed in black from head to toe, including a trailing black veil and billowing black robes, was spotted walking the highways of the South, and a series of rumors mounted about what she could possibly be up to. The truth was that the woman, a U.S. Army veteran, described the self-imposed pilgrimage as having to do with her faith and religion. Have you heard of this urban legend?

The Man Who Became a Pair of Shoes - George Parrot, also known as Big Nose George, was hanged in the 1880s for being a raucous outlaw with a penchant for horse thievery. Supposedly, a physician was assigned to study George's brain in order to root out the cause of his criminal activity. And bizarrely, he decided to use George's skin for a number of crude purposes—including making himself a new pair of shoes. Today, the shoes are on display at the Carbon County Museum in Montana.
