Mjolnir is Thor's hammer in Norse myth, a powerful weapon associated with thunder, protection, consecration, and divine force. It is famous for being hurled and returning.
The Jack-o-Lantern is a Halloween lantern custom often linked to the Irish story of Stingy Jack. Older versions involve carved turnips or root vegetables before pumpkins became the familiar North American form.
The kidney theft urban legend usually describes a traveler who is drugged, wakes in a bathtub full of ice, and discovers that one or both kidneys have been removed. The story spread widely through fax, email, and word of mouth in the 1990s.
D.B. Cooper is the name attached to the unknown man who hijacked Northwest Orient Flight 305 on November 24, 1971, received $200,000 in ransom, and parachuted from the aircraft into the night. His identity and fate remain unresolved.
The Island of the Dolls is a strange place in the Xochimilco canals near Mexico City, known for trees and structures covered with old dolls. The common legend links the dolls to Don Julian Santana and the spirit of a drowned girl.
The Tunguska Event was a massive explosion over Siberia on June 30, 1908. Modern scientific summaries generally interpret it as an asteroid or bolide airburst that flattened forest over a huge area without leaving a normal crater.
Narcissus and Echo is a Greek myth about two forms of unreachable love. Echo can only repeat the words of others, while Narcissus becomes trapped by his own reflection and cannot reach the image he desires.
The Spear of Destiny is a legendary name often attached to the Holy Lance, the spear associated with the piercing of Christ in Christian tradition. Several relic traditions exist, and later occult stories added claims of world-shaping power.
The cockatrice is a medieval fabulous creature often imagined as part rooster and part serpent. It was believed to kill through a deadly look, breath, touch, or poison, and it is closely related to basilisk traditions.
The Flatwoods Monster is a West Virginia legend that began near Flatwoods on September 12, 1952, after witnesses saw a fireball and then reported a tall, strange figure near a hilltop. The story became part of regional UFO and monster folklore.
Mu is a lost-continent legend popularized by James Churchward in the early 20th century. He claimed that a vanished Pacific civilization was the motherland of humanity, but the story belongs to occult geography and pseudoarchaeology rather than accepted history.
The Fountain of Youth is a long-lived legend about water that restores youth or preserves life. Its most famous modern association is Juan Ponce de Leon and Florida, but historians are cautious about treating that connection as fact.
