Where did this source come from?! You have got to be kidding me, an Urban Legend no less…I highly doubt originated on Staten Island. Pathetic.

I live on arlo road in SI,3 years now, the only creepy thing here are the residents, all psychos and college kids. There are quite a few graveyards near hear, one right down the street from me. That place is quite creepy and a lot of the older graves have free mason symbols on them( near hillside ave & victory blvd, before it hits forest ave) More interesting locations are the abandoned monastery near st. johns college(in the wooded area in between the track and the college) and the old sea view hospital(across from the new one, its gated, but there are a few gaping holes.) Both of those places are incredibly creepy, and very decrepit, so be careful you don’t hurt yourself if you go at night.

Actually I’ve heard this ‘story’ many of times. I’ve heard a tiny different version too. A couple drove out into the woods and they broke down. The boyfriend went to go find help and told her to lock the doors. She waited and waited and than fell asleep. The next day she was woken up from a scratching noise on the roof, she unlocked the doors and got out just to see her boyfriend dangling from a tree with his hands chopped off on the roof scratching. This is the story of Cropsy.

I heard a differen’t version of this. A couple driving down an isolated road ran out of gas so they parked under a tree and the boyfriend went to get more, a few hours after he left the girlfriend heard scratching on the roof of the car, she ignored it and eventually fell asleep, she was awoken my a tapping on the window. She looked up and saw a police officer, she opened the door and he said “come with me please and don’t turn around” she got out of the car and ignoring the officers warning she turned around and saw her boyfriend hanging upsidedown, dead from the tree. The scraping noise was coming from his fingernails. I heard it on TV when I was a kid so I can’t remember the location or anything, but I never forgot the story because it scared me so much

I first heard that story at a slumber party, except that the young fellow had been murdered by an escaped psychopath with a hook instead of a hand. As I was 10 or 11 at the time, the story scared the hell out of me and kept me awake for a week or two. The oldest one in the book.
