The "toxic lady" is a bit of a misnomer. Ms. Ramirez had cancer, and was using DMSO as a home remedy for pain. When she arrived in the hospital, the paramedics gave her oxygen and drew blood. The oxygen reacted with the DMSO and created a poisonous gas that caused many of the medical staff to faint. So it's not that she was a toxic lady, it was just a sad freak accident.
That's just a theory.
@@octopuss1918
Makes a lot more sense then "toxic lady". Whats the theory there other then... iz sp00ky?
That is one of the theories but it is not proven yet
@@octopuss1918 A game theory!
Actshually, the hospital staff were running a crystal meth manufacturing operation, using IV bags to smuggle the ingredients. Ms. Remirez was accidentally given a methylene IV. Methylene smells like catbox, which smells like ammonia. Don’t ask me why I know any of this.
That coffin safety bell actually showed up in a schoolyard horror book.
One day, a gravedigger hears a coffin safety bell ringing; he calls down into a pipe leading into the ground and the person in the coffin responds with "Help me up, I'm not dead!". The gravedigger takes a look at the tombstone, says into the pipe "You've been in that coffin for 100 years. I don't know what you are, but you're definitely not alive." and pulls the bell out of the ground.
DeltaSilver88 ugghh
My first wife was buried prematurely. Unfortunately she was able to dig herself out and testify against me.
@@Gamble661 simp
@@Gamble661 XD
The "Bell above ground in the cemetery" is where the term "graveyard shift" comes from. Someone would mind the graveyard and listen for any bells that rang.
Didnt it also coin the phrase "dead ringer"?
If either of these are true that’s a fun fact
I didn't know the 'graveyard shift' or 'dead ringer' terms. But 'saved by the bell' was literally because of this phenomenon. They mention it in the video, but I was disappointed they didn't actually note that that was where the phrase came from.
Duhhhhhhh Nigga!!!
the girl who says the top tens should do a face reveal
She did in the top ten most meta moments in movies.
Maymaymaster thx
She talked through the whole video named "Video W/ Timestamps"
Her face has been seen several times, she has blonde hair and a regular figure.
Rcj. Queenie she's also hot
as if elevators weren't fucking scary enough
i'm a goner Happened to a man at the San Francisco TransAmerica Pyramid 😕 he was cut in half.
+Dean.abie. Pepler um no
actually, the chances of you dying in an elevator are about 0.000003% and I'm serious about that, it's the actual number. most elevators have fail safes for their fail safes
David Daniel that's good but not good enough

Friend: Don't you want to ride the elevator?
Me: Nah, I'll take the stairs.
Friend: Are you sure?
Me: GET OUT MY FACE! I WANT TO TAKE THE STAIRS, SO I'M TAKING THE STAIRS!
flaming flamingo, and that's how is it done!! with few fucks thrown in
It'll give me a workout for once
I always take the elevator....
*"Phew"*
The bug thing is terrifying to me, especially since my aunt had a Japanese beetle stuck in her eardrum that had to be removed. She realized something was wrong because she kept getting severe migraines. The creature beating its wings was the culprit.
6:55 It's worth mentioning that this story takes a spooky turn when you watch the video on her on the elevator. No one else is seen but she acts like she is being followed and she is terrified to move. So either ghosts or extra special crazy,
Friendly Metroid And the elevator didn't move or close the door as long as she was inside. As soon as she left it, it worked again.
SayuriWada It clearly worked because she rode it to the roof
Friendly Metroid That isn't spooky. She was seriously mentally ill and needed treatment.
BJGvideos no she dident. (i watched the tape aswell) and i know there wasent just a missing part becos roof acces was locked off you needed a clime or a key to get there and a key to get into the tank.
I was hoping someone would mention this
The last one was really true. When I was a kid, there were rumors about kids being kidnapped to sell their organs. That's why, whenever we see a unknown van suddenly stopped near us, we would run like crazy back home. And several cases of it was on the news when I was in highschool (2009) in some cases the kids' bodies was returned to their families after a week, with an ample amount of money along with a note saying sorry. This happened in the Philippines BTW.
The man in the backseat happened to me. But instead of a killer it was my drunk uncle LOL
ge st anytime 😂
Lmao same
🤣🤣
Omg
le me wanna go home from work.
wild friend : "hey you dont want to get in elevator?"
me : "no, thanks. i'm going down by the stairs."
wild friend : "but we're on 10th floor."
me : "i just wanna walk. it's healty anyway."
johantri dewantara I'm gonna start taking the stairs now oml
johantri dewantara, I was once stuck in an elevator for 2 hours with 30 other people on a school field trip. Worst fucking thing in the world. I will never get into another elevator in my life
The stairs have windows. I once walked down a long staircase, 'cause it had interesting window views.
Its always the damn wild friend
Remember that one time in the office when pam and dwight were stuck in an elevator, and dwight immediately elects a pee corner, even though they were stuck for a total of 5 minutes? Im surprised watchmojo used speed for the footage instead of resident evil. God i love speed though.
I will always remember the story of Elisa Lam because she was my great grandmother’s neighbor. Before she and Elisa died, I used to go there every so often, and occasionally saw an Asian woman leave or arrive at her home. And to learn a couple years later that she was found dead in a hotel tank is something that I will never let go of.
7:02 she supposedly died due to the elevator game, she was playing the elevator game and had talked to the lady on one of the floors when she wasn’t supposed to. at least, supposedly.
At least the organ thieves are nice enough to give you a phone and tell you to call 911

I can't skip 30sec advertisement....... what a bad day
Adblock is free!
Adblock doesn't work on mobile, just sayin'.
@@DeltaSilver88 yeah it does.
There's an application for it.
At least for iOS.
@@ryansmith4494 Those are usually apps you have to pay for, like Adlock. There's no free option to block ads in the CZcams app itself.
As for viewing them in a browser... I have Adblock Browser, but it stopped blocking ads a few weeks after installing it. 😂
@@DeltaSilver88 of course it's not going to work on CZcams.
You must have downloaded a shitty version then.
Sadly there have been around a dozen cases of homeless people dying on the old Circle line in London and going round and round till the train was taken out of service up to 14 hours later.
If someone is living in my house they will be very disappointed at the lack of food
I remember in the office years ago this guy slept in the sleeping quarters and was found 3 days later, dead. His family came looking for him. Haven't been home for 3 days and can't be contacted. They watched the security footage and saw him enter the room and never left. People who came in the room and slept with him thought he was just asleep. Similar thing happened last year. Another guy went to the room to sleep. He went straight to the office after he went on a holiday with his other colleagues, afraid he might come to work late. Hours later his colleagues noticed that he's running late when all of them knew he should already be there. They went and look for him in the office and found him dead in the sleeping quarters.
I remember my first nightmare ever being was getting my hand cut off by an elevator, when I was five. Sure, I had some worse ever since, but that one was quite terrifying for a long time.
Oh dang.
After working in a pediatrician office, that bug thing happens a lot. Crickets, cockroaches, spiders. A couple each year.
I'm scared of elevator. O_O
MrCreepyBear RBLX Me too!
Proooobably shouldn’t have watched this then, huh?
I thought I was the only one!
After the movie devil
MrCreepyBear RBLX same now I am
#6 btw is where we get the term “grave yard shift”. There was an actual job to sit in graveyards and listen for bells to save a person who was buried prematurely.
My Uncle was in a coma at work on a Friday night and wasn't discovered until Monday morning.
He was working as a draftsman in a foundry and the end of a sledge hammer flew off in the factory next door, flew through the window of the drafting room and hit him in the head.He survived and lived but died from complications from the incident many years later due to a left over blood clot in his brain.
I was at a Halloween park and there was a coffin ride. I went in a coffin and there was a hole in it. So all the water was in the closed coffin I was in. I couldn't open the coffin. I found the hole and blocked the water out until the ride was over
😳
😳😳😳
Man, it seems like any Cecil Hotel is a hell haven. Every Cecil Hotel I've heard of has had murders or "mysterious" deaths happen in them. There's a Cecil Hotel in Canada, either Edmonton or Calgary. When my parents talked about it during the car ride I was so terrified. Every time we were in a Canadian town that looked just a little similar to where we'd been, I immediately became on edge.
The hanging around Halloween time also happened at a farm in Michigan a few years ago (I heard about it because I live nearby and it was in the news). This teenager was scaring people at a haunted hayride and wanted to pretend to hang himself but accidentally did it for real.
Love these urban legend so fascinating keep up the good work .
#2 is my literal nightmare! My main issue is thinking a bug is going to crawl in my ear and either lay eggs or start eating my brain. I bought ear plugs as a precaution but then I was scared I wouldn't be able to hear if there was an intruder. So I sleep with a pillow over my head which is probably also dangerous but.. ya know 😂
Lmfao you're cute, we need to be friends.i think weird too
Wear headphones but don't listen to anything???? Idk
I'm never going on elevators ever again 😓😓😓😷
Niara Hancock I use the staircase because all the fat lazy asses always crowd up the elevator. Plus it feels like I'm in a tv show/movie. 😄
I was stuck next to a Muslim on the elevator so I'm never using it again.
Niara Hancock same omg
Depresticles You're disgusting!
Niara Hancock But what if you meet a strange character in the stairways wearing a mask or something. Plz note I'm not trying to be a creep, my profile pic is just a cheap mask I used to half ass a costume for a Halloween years ago.
that thing about the cockroaches in the head actually happened to one of my friends Brothers and I'm actually not lying about this her brother had a tick in his head the doctors were able to get it out though without before he got any major brain damage though so yay
And here I was confidently thinking that such a case is rare. I'm gonna do my wimpy scream now...
Please tell me your friends brother doesn't live in Sweden...
My grandpas ear was bugging him and they poured water in it to try and help and a spider came out
@@kiah9085 😳 I am cementing my ears shut forever...
During my stay in Singapore in 2011, an affluent housing complex in the north of the island complained about their water tasting funny. When maintenance men checked the complex's water they found the dead body of a woman. Apparently someone had killed a maid and dumped her body in the water tower. It happened around May or June 2011
To add to the silent dead creepiness, a woman died in a bathroom in an Oklahoma Walmart and they didn't realize it for 3 days. It actually happened very recently.
The bug one actually made me so uncomfortable! I remember once I was watching the Olympics with my brother & sister in-law and fell asleep for a bit. Once I got up I could feel something warmish in my ear to I went to the washroom to check it out and there was some dark brown thing just in there!!
I still have no clue if it was a bug or just a bunch of wax because while removing it it fell and I couldn't find it. I wanted to see it so I could know it wasn't a bug living in my ear.
Shit got me scared af now😒😮😮😮
Number one was sad
+toti261 OMG😮😮😮
Charity Rich what are you 5
Boo bitch!
The random footage playing over the list makes this list so damn fantastic
I live in LA & every time I pass by the Cecil hotel & look up at the water tanks I get chills
The one about the woman hanging from a tree in Halloween reminded me of a real hanging that happened at the college I went to. A student hanged himself from a tree outside the library one afternoon during the Halloween season. He did it on a weekend when there was not much movement in campus so the body stayed there hanging for quite a while. People who walked past also thought it was just a prop until someone decided to investigate further. The branch of the tree he used to hang himself was cut down.
I could have gone my whole life without knowing #2. Thanks WatchMojo. :)
The first urban legend almost happen at my college when I was inside the elevator waiting for it to be closed and suddenly a woman sticks her whole arm through the small opening that was slowly closing. Fortunately the doors stop from closing and open itself again just to let this woman in. I thought I was going to experience a life or death situation with a shower of blood. That woman was crazy and lucky that she didn't lose a body part today.
Most elevators have mechanisms that stop the door from closing if something is in the way or pushes the door back while it closes. Only if it was malfunctioning would it close on someone's body part and then move up or down.
Yasss watchmojo this is the type of content we want and love
The urban legend that is true
*The impossible Exam*
"I'm not dead" 😂😂 oh Monty Python
The death on a train did happen. I just read about a case of it yesterday. It was an overdose death. I have tried and failed to find the story again, but given the number of overdoses, etc, lately it isn't that shocking. Also, Aardsma wasn't dead in the library very long, just a couple minutes.
#9 terrified me bc I was just at the doctor's, showing symptoms of the flu and when I got looked at, they said I didn't have the flu and didn't know what it was.
“He said he’s not dead”
😂🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Love that movie
I'm always scared from the thought of a cockroach getting into my mouth while I'm sleeping. 😭 I'm having nightmares from this.
4:50 about these safe coffins, I once read this story about this cementery guard who heard one of the bells, and through the bell tube he calls to see if there's really someone there. When the person answers, stating their name and saying they're not dead, the guard starts pouring dirt on the tube saying that the tombstone says this person died like x years ago already and whatever is inside ain't getting out.
Number 7 happened to me as well. The exact same way it was described in the video. Found a man hanging in a tree while driving with friends in Michigan.
"Elevator amputation-"
Haha I'll take the stairs
"Uh chief I think there was a dead body in there"
"Ya I thought that too.....until he said "yard trimmings".....you gotta learn to listen lou!"
The water one happened at an island I used to live on ( not naming it ). But the island was known for having a lot of tourist during the summer. And a family of three was murdered by a gang and the mother’s body was found a month or so after the rest of the family is a septic tank.
#7 happened a few years ago in a park a few blocks away from my house. A 19-year-old hanged himself in the park shelter and when some kids found him they thought he was just a Halloween decoration.
im going full screen...
wish me luck
Fun fact ; the toxic lady was actually in my home town Riverside California :)
It's 2 in the morning and I'm watching this after coming back from the Penn State library. Needless to say, #8 was interesting.
The thing about somebody dying on the NYC subway without anyone noticing actually happened. A dead rider made a couple of round trips on the train before somebody discovered he was dead.
10 is why I fear elevators
WRONG, Dark Water was the remake of the Japanese movie with the same name.
I had a spider crawl into my ear while I was asleep a few years ago. I could hear all eight legs crawling every time it moved. A similar fuzzing sound as when you get water in your ear. Already having arachnophobia, it nearly drove me insane until it decided to jump out and onto my lap while waiting at the hospital. Insomnia ever since :))))
WatchMojo is the kind of channel that makes a video on top ten things to make a top ten list
lol sad you guys care more about the comment section instead of watching the video
EvenAllMighty
Wait you are doing the same thing
no I'm just terrified
Ravage TheLegend ? let me clarify I probably confused your poor mind. "People care more about the comment section..." This meaning that people care about commenting "First" rather than watching the video :)
Ravage TheLegend One, it's obvious to anybody glancing at the comments for even a second. Two, "autistic" isn't an insult.

1. How is it obvious? Use your two existing brain cells to power up your eyes to look at the comment section and try to find a first comment within the first 5 posts.
2. If Autistic wasnt an insult then, it is now since it just triggered you enough to mention it.

I remember hearing about the girl hanging by barbed wire. It happened my senior year of high school not far from where I live.
That 'man in the backseat' story happened to me and my mom, but with my sister? mom used to have a 7-seater car, and she'd snuck into the trunk, then pulled the foldable seats down so we couldn't see her. my mom put our food on her face without knowing she was there, and she sat up in the middle of the ride home, complaining that the salt from out fries had gone up her nose..
When she said "The Toxic Lady" I was like um people thought Britney Spears was an urban legend
_The Simpsons_ is cursed.
But it comes with a Froghurt.
Watching this at 3 AM, what have I gotten myself into 😂🙃🤓
My aunt's sister in law actually had an unwanted guest in their house 😂 he didn't live there but he sneaked in there when everyone left to work/school.
For #6 they should of played Buried Alive from avenged sevenfold....that would of been great tbh
Fucking awesome song
MarvelTrash hell yeah
Yanno I just don't trust elevators. Never did. Not even just the horror stories, I just don't like them. Probably stems from my fear of falling. Anyways, I've walked up 20-30 flights of stairs over an elevator a few times.
What y'all didn't mention about #10 is that there was a woman in the elevator when he got decapitated. She was stuck in the elevator with his severed head for a couple of hours. One of my brother's was one of the medics that responded. Said he can't imagine that she'll ever be "normal" again.
The #2 in the list made me skeptical about my headaches because I really do get headaches on a monthly basis and it really pains a lot.

I had a roach extracted from my ear canal when I was little and complained to my mom that I felt something that tickled and then hurt. I'm terrified of roaches now.
4:00 You can actually find info about this: A young teenage boy liked to pull pranks and scare his sister, so he were to do a prank where he stuck his head through a halloween noose prop. Problem? He accidentally hung himself. It was in his yard, with an active street next to it. His sister found him and ran to get their mom- even the mom told her at first it probably was a prank, but the sister insisted it was not, and the mom finally went outside to check (the sister had said "He has drool comming from his mouth"). It was already too late to save him though.
The boy was only sixteen.

That was a creepy show but pretty cool too.
Had a beetle crawl in my ear while I was sleeping once, it was awful and pretty scary because I had no idea what it was.

Alicia lamb played the elevator game did it wrong and looked at the not human lady and died in the water tank because of the lady ghost thing
Lilly Turner that's actually a really really good theory. She probably got stuck in the upside down and died.
Lilly Turner Do you watch SNARLED too
she was bipolar, so she was probably trying to suspend herself in water to find out which pole she was pointing to that day
You mean Elissa Lamb.
The elevator one actually happened more recently too.. a woman who just gave birth got stuck in between floors and died :(
Thanks.... Quite plausible.
