  • "The Hook" is also a nickname for the Islamic preacher Abu Hamza al-Masri. The Hook is a classic example of an urban legend. The basic premise involves a young couple parked at a dark lovers' lane. The radio plays music as the couple make out. The music is interrupted by an announcer who reports that a serial killer has just escaped an institution which is nearby. The killer has a hook in place of one of his hands. For varying reasons they decide to leave quickly. The legend ends with the discovery of the killer's hook attached to the outside handle of one of the doors. Many variations include the sound of scraping on the car door. Some legends have the same beginning, but end up with them seeing him first, warning some others, then having him come to their car. They try to escape, but end up with him holding on to the top of the car. It ends with both dying. In an alternative version of the story, the couple while driving through an unknown part of the country decide to stop the car in the middle of the woods at night because the man has to relieve himself (or their car breaks down and the boyfriend/husband goes for help). While waiting for him to return, the wife/girlfriend turns on the radio and hears about the escaped mental patient. She notices that her husband/boyfriend has not returned yet and is disturbed many times by a loud thumping on the roof of the car. She eventually exits her car and sees the crazy man on the roof of the car holding her husband's decapitated head in his hand and hitting the roof with it. Other variations tell of her seeing her husband/boyfriend's butchered body suspended upside down from a tree above the car with his fingers dangling just above the roof. A happier ending sees the couple driving off when it sounds like the hookman is approaching the car. Along the way, they assure themselves it was just their imagination. However, upon getting home and exiting the car, they find the hook stuck in the door. References to this legend have been found from at least the mid 1950s to the mid 1960s.
  • Hak – klasyczny przykład miejskiej legendy. Jej bohaterami jest para nastolatków, pieszczących się w samochodzie na odludnym parkingu. Muzyka w radio zostaje przerwana przez raport spikera, który komunikuje, że z okolicznego szpitala psychiatrycznego zbiegł seryjny morderca z hakiem zastępującym odciętą dłoń. Młodzi szybko decydują się opuścić odludzie. Legendę wieńczy szokujące odkrycie – bohaterowie odnajdują hak zabójcy przymocowany do rączki od jednych z drzwi auta. Liczne wariacje na temat legendy utwierdzają także zainteresowanego w przekonaniu, iż nim para opuściła parking, bohaterce zdawało się, że słyszy drapanie do drzwi pojazdu. Pierwsze wersje haka zostały znalezione już w latach sześćdziesiątych XX wieku..
