Killer in the back seat of the car, hijackers in the black Volga, disappearing hitchhiker - urban legends have a rich history. These Polish ones are not inferior to foreigners. Here are some examples of stories that once excited not only children but also completely adult Poles.
# 7. Matura Szymborska
If she approached her matriculation today, she would not have passed her - so friendly Poles summed up the late poet Wisława Szymborska. According to legends and stories, she was supposed to approach the final exams and not pass it. During the exam she had to interpret her own poem and do not stick to the exam key. There are also versions with remote, but with great difficulty. Michal Rusinek's dementia has changed nothing and the fictitious story of Szymborska is repeated all the time by the outraged formula of the new matura exam. Where did it come from? Probably from Jerzy Sosnowski - another, less known Polish writer - who in May 2009 was to attempt to interpret his own work and draw the case. The thing is, the little known Sosnowski did not have enough impact on the imagination of the crowd.
# 6. Mission to Mars
Ninth floor, one of the dorms of the Lodz University of Technology and a student packed in a cardboard box with the inscription "Mission to Mars". The would-be astronaut is pushed out of the window. But, to my surprise, this astronaut, instead of flying towards the red planet, begins to fall down towards the pavement. An ambulance and rescuers with spoons arrive to scrape the student's remains off the ground. The police also come to the room from which the student fell. There, he finds two more students and a cardboard box - "Rescue mission". The history of the student mission debuting in 2004 also appeared in Olsztyn, Poznań and Szczecin. Although - to give justice to things - it most often appears in connection with the favorite city of all Poles by boat.
# 5. Notebook for religion
Have you heard about satanists? There are two of them, at a similar age. They are just over twenty years old. They dress in long, black coats that reach to the ground. Heads are pressed by half-face hats. They approach the children returning from school and ask for a notebook for religion. If the child answers that he has a notebook in a line, they cut them with a razor in a line. If checkered - checkered. If the notebook is smooth, Satanists strip the child off the skin. Look after yourself! At the slogan "notebook to religion" more than one hair stand on. Just like the inhabitants of Konin in the late 1980s, when the history of curious Satanists was very popular. Panic broke out. What even more preventive parents did not take their children out of their sight for a moment, and the alleged Satanists began to appear in other places in Poland. And although in fact no degenerates have seen, heavy-metal fans in formal attire are still looking suspiciously to this day.
# 4. Where do you come from?
PRL. A factory trip to Warsaw on the so-called odchamianie. But as it happens with the working class, it was already at the first corner that the afternoon tea should be unscrewed. Hence also when the crew finally arrived, it was already a bit late. A group of cheerful workers are rolling into the room, and at this moment, the actor, unaware of anything, asks dramatically, as he commands the text "Where do you come from, the knights wrong?". "PGR Kłusowo", it's the answer. As cheerful as the legend made up - the problem is not even the fact that in each of the stories told "first hand, no ba!" there is another PGR, SKR or another relic of the PRL. It is harder to explain the fact that not one of the played plays contains (or did not contain) the words "Where do you come from, wrong knights?".
# 3. Puma in Polish forests
Be careful! Especially during walks in the woods and fields. A huge, predatory cat - probably puma - is waiting for victims. He is at least 70 centimeters tall and attacks children and animals. Anyone who sees an animal should immediately report to the police. And there was no shortage of those who saw. Those who did not see and believed - also. The predatory black puma has been prowling around Poland since 2008, and the frequency of its occurrence suggests that it is probably moving in a car. And not at all free. In the meantime, puma was already sought with the help of a helicopter, spending 50,000 on it. zlotys, shot (exactly five pieces) in great secrecy, and finally identified as a refugee from a farm in the Czech Republic. End? None of these things. The first reports of marauding puma in the forests appeared in the 1980s quite far away - in the United States. According to the latest - from 2012 - the puma decided to visit the commune of Gościno.
# 2. Drugs in tattoos
Warn your children not to take anything from strangers! Two men were seen under our school who were giving children the so-called aquatic tattoos. LSD is in them! The drug permeates through the skin and becomes very addictive. Then the same men sell drugs to children. Nobody has ever seen men handing tattoos to children at school. Anyway - why men? From the point of view of an entrepreneurial dealer, would not it be better to employ a woman that would be more trusting in this regard? Anyway, in all of history - apart from the fact that maybe the entire world has gone round - there are a few "minor" inaccuracies. First of all, nowhere in the world has the case of drug distribution been confirmed in this way. Secondly, LSD is not addictive. Thirdly, primary-school children are without a doubt the ideal target group for dealers looking for quick earnings ...
# 1. Kangaroo in a coat
A group of elegant musicians, most probably some orchestra (brass, bloated or both at the same time) went on tour in Australia, and that the trip was coming to an end, the state of the instrumentalists allowed themselves to drink a bit more. It was bad luck that the kangaroo had crossed the path of the drunken escapade. There was a collision, the kangaroo - probably dead - falls to the ground. Happy company pulls out cameras and cell phones, then takes pictures of the dead person. Suddenly, someone intelligent comes up with the idea to dress up a kangaroo in a tailcoat. And then - already elegantly dressed - the kangaroo comes alive and blows together with the jacket and documents of its owner. The Pole abroad is actually a good topic for urban legends, and the one with the kangaroo, though totally from the things, does not seem so unrealistic (at least until the resurrection of an animal). Of course, the clever, who supposedly wanted to dress up the kangaroo, were many, from musicians to athletes and farmers. There is apparently even a farmer from Australia who shot a kangaroo with a Polish passport. And the origins of the legend itself, according to Australian archaeologists, date back to 1902.
