Urban legends always fascinate me. I remember when I was a camp counselor, and heard my first urban legend about a friend whose house sitting job became an up-close encounter with an exploding cactus. Exploding with spiders. Remember that one? I totally bought it, until I caught on to the whole urban legend phenomenon. Enjoy!

About the author

Autumn Carpenter
While navigating the carpool lane and translating toddler conversations might not rank high on some adventure life lists, I happily include those accomplishments alongside skydiving, dodging Pamplonian bulls and surviving three-hour Vinyasa yoga classes. I look for the story in everyday situations, and convey them easily in both print and online mediums. I’m also SEO-friendly ghostblogger, web content writer and copywriter. Let’s collaborate on a project today!
