The Red Stain
One of the most widespread Soviet scary stories. A family moves into a new flat and finds a red stain on the ceiling or the wallpaper that will not wash off and will not paint over: every morning it comes through again, a little larger. At night people vanish from the room, one at a time, and after each one the stain is brighter. The moral, in the children's telling, is always the same and always said out loud: they should have called the police at once.
Herobrine
A character that was never in the game. In 2010 an anonymous user posted a Minecraft screenshot of a player figure with no pupils standing in fog, and a story that it was the creator's brother. The rumour outlived every denial: for years players sent in evidence — squares of felled forest, sand pyramids, tunnels nobody built — and the developers eventually took to adding "Removed Herobrine" to their patch notes as a joke, though there was nothing to remove. His code has never existed in any version of the game.
