The Carmen Winstead urban legend is one of those stories that never really seems to die. It’s a story that involves a lot of innate human fears, making it compelling, creepy, and fun to tell to others. Was there really a Carmen Winstead? There’s no evidence of a girl by that name ever living, let alone having any of this happen to her.
carmen winsteadThe story involves a young schoolgirl whose family moves to Indiana (the fear of moving, especially to a rural and relatively unknown state like Indiana) where she has trouble fitting in (fear of exclusion). During a routine fire drill (fear of being hurt) a group of girls decide to push her down a well as a joke (fear of embarrassment, and being ganged up on). She falls in, but in the process of falling her face is severely damaged (fear of being ugly/deformed) and neck is broken (fear of death).
The girls soon after receive chain letters/phone calls/MySpace messages (which shows how dated that version of the story is!), and these messages say that they must own up to what they did or face the consequences. As in all chain stories like this they don’t, and mysteriously end up transported into the sewer themselves, dead in the same way.
And then, the topper to the whole thing, is that the other children in the class who didn’t believe the story began dying in a similar manner, because of their disbelief. This chain message typically ends warning the reader to believe and send it on, or they too will meet with the same fate.
Any sort of death or incident like this, were it to happen in real life, would not be sent off with such reckless abandon in the form of a chain letter. It’s the kind of campfire stories that have been told for decades, and while it’s fun to sit with your friends and scare each other, there’s no truth behind any stories like this one. It’s the kind of thing that makes you feel creepy when you’re in the shower, especially alone in the house or at night.
