Urban Legends....do you believe this one?

That is a very sad and strange story, urban legend, but if Snopes says it's true then I believe it is. That site spends hours and hours and hours researching stories before they post a 'true'. I firmly believe that this story is true!

I just read it, and wow. That is incredibly weird! It says it's true, but it seems far fetched. If it is true, thats incredible! What a coincidence!

Was it being screened, that is, shown, or was it being filmed, like a documentary? I find it hard to swallow either one, but if snopes says it is true, it is true. I trust snopes.

Snopes is usually pretty dependable so if they say it's true then it probably is. It does sound very much like something only Hollywood could make up but coincidences really do exist sometimes! I'm on the fence about urban legends in general. I definitely find them all very interesting but usually try to verify them before completely believing them.

I guess I've reached the age where very little surprises me anymore, ctry, and if you got it from Snopes, it should be reliable. As eerie as it may seem, according to the words of one of my favorite radio talk show hosts, there is no such thing as coincidence. The incident sounds strangely prophetic-and I wonder whose choice was it to screen such a movie aboard a sailing vessel anyway?

I think I believe in urban legends. About titanic, it might be not exactly the same like when it happened, but the story may came from the titanic survival. But of corse there's always two sides of stories. But still,,I think that not the whole story is true. The director might put a little add here and there to in addition to make a good movie.

Yes I do believe in some urban legends happening. I went to the site in question about the titanic and according to snopes.com it is true and i know they spend hours researching claims to provide answers as to whether it is true or false claimed. I would say that I think it might be true to a certain degree, I am sure though others even survivors have added to it to make it out to what it is now.

I have read the urban legends and i di think that there is some truth in what they say..I know a lot of people do not believe them.I made a mistake of opening a discussion about something that urban legends had to say once and many people told me that they did not believe it..I believe that urban legands does have some information about what they are talking about so yes i do think they are on target.....it might not be a lot of information but i feel like what they share has some backup to it or they would get sued...Urban legends reveal secrets that others are trying to hide...It is just likethe enquirer people think it is all gossip and it really is but i also think there is some truth in what they say too....Any kind of tale that gets started if you will notice and if you do a little digging you will see that it is usually founded on some of the truth,maybe it is streched some but the botton line is there is truth in the thing...

I never take much stock in urban legends. This story, however, is freaky weird! Not to mention the screening, twice, of The Poseidon Adventure, but the man that wrote a novella 14 years earlier about an ill fated, unsinkable ship called The Titan. The Titan, that hit an iceberg, also did not have enough life boats for all passengers. This is too freaky. I wonder how Snopes was able to verify this information, if all the lifeboats were gone after the movie ended. Who survived to tell this story, is my question? Like it says at the end of the article, we may never know!! PEACE

Out of curiosity I would just love to see that 1911 movie...but no it wasn't about filming a movie on the Titanic, but they showed the 1911 version of the Poseidon Adventure which had a remarkable similarity of what was to happen to the actual Titanic and according to that article they showed it on the same evening that the Titanic was to sink..now that's eerie....and it was amusing to read that the stiff-upper lipped First Class passengers didn't engage in watching movies and was only shown to the Second Class and below passengers..which ironically where most of the fatalities (deaths) were as the First Class passengers hogged all the life boats

They can be interesting and funny to hear about. Obviously some are true and some are lies, while others are partially true. I have never heard that one about the Titanic. I have heard the rather big legend that it was the sister ship, which was broken that sank, and the actual Titanic ship sailed on for many years under a different name. Insurance job. Mythbusters is a great show on discovery, they try out lots of myths/legends. E.g, i saw a show where they investiagted the myth that a prisoner constructed a crossbow out of newspaper, make an arrow tip from his lunch tray and used elastic from his underwear. He apparently killed a guy with it. The mythbusters managed to shoot plastic tipped, paper arrow from a paper crossbow they made, 1 inch into a prosthetic human.
