Frozen Stiff... and Alive
We know how cold it can get in this state and how dangerous it can be to get caught outside in the dead of winter, but what do you think would happen if it happened to you? You'd probably freeze to death...but what if you didn't actually die? This urban legend is actually a true story. In January of 1981, teen Jean Hilliard got caught outside after her car spun out, falling face first in snow during -22 degree temps and not being found until the next morning. She was taken to the hospital, her skin too hard to pierce with a hypodermic needle and temperature too cold to register on a thermometer. Miraculously, about three hours after being brought in, her body had managed to thaw out enough to regain consciousness, and she survived.

The Legend of White Lady Lane
In Walhalla, North Dakota, there is a legend that long ago a peddler man shot and killed a young woman he fancied after being denied the honor of marrying her by her mother. The peddler attempted to take his own life twice directly following the murder but failed both times. Taken from life too early, it is said that the girl's ghost has been spotted wandering near a location known as Eddie's Bridge, in a flowing and eerie white nightgown that she was wearing the day she died.
