Urban legends and pop culture have always had an incredibly healthy relationship. Whether it's the story about Walt Disney's body being frozen for when scientists learn how to cheat death or the Munchkin actor who supposedly committed suicide in the background of a scene in The Wizard Of Oz, society can't get enough of these mysterious anecdotes.

But never are they more fascinating than the ones that spawn from television. When you think about it, television is the perfect place for the creation of urban legends.
