Trying to "create' an urban legend is not easy work!

A couple of years ago, I had an energetic student that wanted to create his own "urban legend." After doing a bit of research to discover the most common elements of urban legends, he felt he was ready to create a legend of his own. Next, he wrote the legend up, made a few xeroxes, and posted  the legend around the campus and in Mt Shasta. A year later, one student in the folklore class stated she had "read it somewhere" and that she had thought it was true. One believing student does not make a legend, but we shall see what happens down the road. Anyway, here's Mike H's legend:
