Which creepy urban legend turned out to be true?

When I was about 12 years old, a friend and I were playing in the woods that were known for being creepy.

While building a fort, a strange man snuck up behind us and yelled at us to get off his land and never come back, yada yada.

It really startled us as we both knew the land was a public area and had never been threatened

by an adult before.

Several years later, we found out he was an actual bank robber called Carl Gugashin,

wanted by the FBI for years.

We were building our fort a few feet from his stash.

The man that worked in a law firm on the 24th story of a building.

As a running gag, he'd tell

everyone that the windows in the building were unbreakable, and then proceed to run at them

full force. Once he did it, and the glass didn't break, but the window popped out at the frame,

and he fell to his death 24 stories. I'd seen this on an urban legend show when I was a kid,

but found out later it really happened in my city of Toronto, Canada.

My boyfriend works in the same building, and rumor has it that the man landed on a concrete bench at concourse level,

where a woman and her child had just been sitting there seconds before his fatal plunge.

Yeah, my mom worked in an office adjacent to where he fell to his death. Everyone was

sent home early in all of the buildings around it. Apparently he'd been doing this stunt for quite

a while with the tour groups, and the problem was that he always used the same window. Each time he

did it, he was weakening the window until it just couldn't take it anymore. My favorite part of

the story is that he was right. The glass didn't break.

The whole pane popped out of its frame. The ghost squirrel in my hometown of dorking in the UK.
