Discussion Urban myth from my city

[Shadowplay]

In my city of Melbourne, Australia there is a rumour that Crown Casino has special doors in the toilets and some kind of morgue or something for all the people that CTB in the toilets due to gambling debts. Probably complete bollocks. So anyone heard similar rumours from your town or other places?

1. I literally live a few streets away from a supposed "haunted" house which is now empty but the last person who lived there - an elderly woman is now in a psychiatric ward.
She put several new born babies in a freezer in her basement and some of them (older ones) - she buried their remains in the front yard.
Nowadays the house is really dirty on the outside and run down from locals breaking in at night for "baby ghost sightings"

2. When I was in elementary school a mother drowned her son in the bathtub after giving him sleeping pills.
I didn't know him very well but one of the boys of my friend circle was close to him and we all ventured to the house where it happened to say goodbye and some of the others were convinced that we could talk to his ghost if we believed in it enough. It was kind of an eerie experience because we additionally scared each other in the dark.

3. For my new job I had to visit the city where the infamous cannibal Armin Meiwes (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armin_Meiwes) lived. I've also been to his house.
Fun fact: He's a vegetarian now.

In my city there is a rumor that there are special restrooms with partitions with holes that you can use to...

Supposedly, some people in my area practice black magic. Supposedly, it is a well known fact. Nobody knows who they are, but they are in the area. Supposedly, they tag trees with jesus crosses near your area and plant cursed jesus crosses below your carpets and sofas and bury jinxed jesus crosses in your yard.
...
I've seen the tagged trees. They were near my house, on my propriety. About 30 young trees were marked with jesus crosses, on the far side, where you couldn't see the jesus crosses. We don't know who tagged them, but it felt spooky as hell.
...
We found a jesus cross under our carpet that didn't belong to us.
...
Supposedly, we have voodoo people in the area. Supposedly, I suppose.
...
Sometimes the thought that my family is cursed crosses my mind. Must be all the jesus crosses and crucifiction porn hanging around my house.
...
Maybe all I need is an exorcism and I wouldn't be suicidal anymore.

Sounds like the 90s are here again. Message-board quality material I see. How about calling the Queen of clubs at night, spill goat blood in a pentagram pattern in fron of a mirror with candles lit and see if she really slays somebody with her sword.

Gambling is too. At least whoever knew you will see your picture on TV. And it's way more interesting than "heart attack" or "old age".
