The Most Popular Urban Legends From All 50 States

Charlie No-Face – Pittsburgh, PA

Weirdly enough, Charlie No-Face isn't actually just an urban legend... He's a real person. Charlie was a man who was horrifically disfigured in an accident. He liked to walk around at night so he wouldn't scare anyone. Sadly, those who did see him assumed that he was a monster and concocted the urban legend. He was never described as violent in the stories, just scary.
