Who is that guy?

I think it was in 2002? But I had scratched a list of how many politicians were out of country that day....

Gave me chills.

I'm not that familiar with Snopes. Are you saying that because Snopes posted it that it was regarded thereafter as a rumor?

My first inclination when I heard the story originally was to believe it.

[Calpernia]

You are local. You don't remember reading all those stories during 2001? There were articles on them even after the rumors started about them being urban legends.

[jiggyboy]

Snopes is your friend! (both are UL's, unconfirmed, single-sourced, very vague)

[willyd]

The internet is a dangerous place for you then.

Ops! I should clarify. That the Cold War is considered WWIII, not that The Glorious President Ronald Wilson Reagan.

Did everyone stand?

[nopardons]

You remember incorrectly, then.

When the teachers were asked to produce the child, in all but one case, the kid didn't exist and the one who did, left that school, after his parents refused to allow him to talk to the FBI.

"You are local. You don't remember reading all those stories during 2001? There were articles on them even after the rumors started about them being urban legends."

What do you mean "you are local"? And actually, no, I don't remember, as I made a major move from NYS to Georgia to care for a friend with a terminal disease and may have been otherwise distracted.

Cult leader? Something about space aliens?

[Ditter]

I had a friend (I haven't seen her in years) who actually had dreams that later came to pass, very involved specific dreams. She told be about some of them before hand so I know she was telling the truth. All of her dreams didn't happen. Usually the first part of the dream would happen, the latter parts would not.

I've got to get this posting thing down.

[Calpernia]

Sorry to hear about your friend.

You have NY flag on your profile, so I assumed you read the local news.

Our NJ.com had several articles about the students that spoke about the towers coming down before it happened.

The names strike a cord.

[sageb1]

Thanks. It was a rough two years, however, yes, I am back in NY. Eastern upstate.

[nopardons]

These stories were all over the N.Y. Post and local news and turned out to be a hoax/urban legend!

[Grut]

Slow news day in Houston.

[sageb1]

Near this idiot. I just discovered tonight that there are a bunch of DUmmies in my small city. :)

[Calpernia]

I never heard the proof of hoax or urban legend.

Local news was still covering it even after the net rumors started with the hoax insinuations.
