The first legend on our list is one which has been used time and time again by every slasher movie ever. Every town has that one restaurant suspected of putting dog meat in the stew, and then you find out the owner’s wife has disappeared and you all have a good laugh about how he probably murdered her and dumped her in the pot too.In the early 2000’s one of the most unsettling urban legends was the story of an HIV-positive man who would leave needles of his infected blood on the seats in a movie theatre.When you settle down for a nice night’s sleep on the crisp linens of a hotel bed, you know it’s possible that your mattress may not be entirely fresh.

The symbol of the three hares depicts three hares chasing each other in a circle, with each one having two ears, but with the three hares arranged so that only three individual ears need to be shown. Now hold on a minute, surely we’re stretching the limits of the word “ancient” here aren’t we? The Pinecone symbol is associated with many of Earth’s oldest and supposedly most enlightened civilizations, as pinecones themselves are meant to represent the Third Eye and the human Pineal Gland.
