OBryans son, though, died from the poisoning.

Then her scalp begins to itch.
Most people should realize that this is impossible.
But some people still fall for it.
They clearly need help.
Kids like temporary tattoos.
Thankfully, there is no evidence of this ever actually happening.
It started in the late 1960s and persisted at least until 1998.
The TV show in question varied, as did the psychic who allegedly made the prediction.
In each case, the rumor was wrong and there were no campus massacres on Halloween.
A lot of drunk students in ghost costumes, maybe, but no massacres.
The legend apparently started in Pennsylvania but has appeared in Chicago, Detroit, and other places.
If they make it to the top, they receive a cash reward.
Problem is, no one ever made it to the top alive.
Fortunately, the email was a hoax.
See the creepy grinning partygoer in theblack mask?
According to legend, he attended a 1962 Halloween party in Idaho.
He killed seven before escaping, never to be found.
It was reported that the FBI found the mask in 1969.
None of it ever happened, of course, but its still a good story.
However, the original photo was doctored, as is shown in this animated GIF above.
This is a fairly recent hoax that started in 2012.
Subsequent versions said the gang initiates had to kill up to 140 women on Halloween.
To the relief of women nationwide, it was only a hoax.
