I don't know about you,but I love a good silly true story.
Here's one of my favourites...
An Icelandic funeral parlor was fined in 1993 after the bereaved family of Henri Labonte complained to local authorities that the deceased had been dressed for his 26th December funeral in a Santa costume and was wearing a fake beard

.

Does anybody else have any funny stories?
But please note that the stories must be TRUE.
No jokes please.

It happened with my friend's aunt!
She have traveled with an opened tram in the seventies. She was the last who was there and she stood the under stair and was grasping. When the tram curved she heard always wailing and moans. Whe she got of the tram noticed she wasn't grasping in steep ascent. She was grasping in a man's leg what's made from wood...

Along the same lines...
A friend of mine stayed at my house for a week just before christmas about 10 years ago.
We were both magicians,and I was showing him an new ESP trick I had learned.I was using two sets of the the five ESP cards (star,circle,square,triangle and 3 wavey lines).Every time I did the trick it worked WITHOUT ME ACTUALLY DOING ANYTHING

.Although I was supposed to do something to make the trick work,I didn't have too.We tried that trick at least 50 times that week and the two sets of cards matched themselves perfectly every time.
I can't say too much about it

,I can tell you that the way we tried matching the cards after a few times,there is NO WAY that my friend or I could have cheated.
It scared the living s..t out of us

Did I Say That?

Famous last words...
We've got them-General Custer.
Go away i'm alright-H.G.Wells (to a nurse).
Am I still alive-Julie de Lespinasse.
Come come,why they couldn't hit an elephant at this dist...-Civil war gereral John Sedgwick.
Strike man-Sir Walter Raleigh (to his executioner).

The crown has to go to good old Oscar Wilde whose imortal last words were "Either that wallpaper goes or I do"

Oscar,I couldn't have said it better

This is true - When I re-married (being a widow) i used to sleep facing the door one night shortly after I was awoken by a rustling from the landing looked and saw a lady in a grey dress (crinoline) making her way up the stairs towards our bedroom - Ive screamed and woken hubby - and he told me his first wife saw this same lady although I knew nothing of this - How weird is that - needless to say I don't sleep facing the door anymore
