People didn't make the story up. It was a story that happened a long time ago. A girl named Carmen Winstead has just moved to Indiana and is hard to make new friends at school. Five bullies have been picking on her and no one ever helped her. One day, the school had a fire drill and the bullies pushed Carmen down the sewer and broke her neck. Her face peeled off, too. The bullies lied to the cops and said that she fell on accident. One night, one of the bullies were in the shower when she heard someone laugh. The next morning, the bully found herself in the sewer with her neck broken and face peeled off. It happened with the people who never helped her and the other four bullies, too. That's the story.

How many people have done a Google search for the Carmen Winstead ghost story?

Heaps of people have googled this story, but if you have googled it you will find that heaps of people have said that this is not true and there is a very similar story about Jessica Smith, with just the names of the victim and the boy who diddent post the story. I think its true but not true if you get my meaning. ;) hope that answers your question


What is the Jessica Smith story?

This story is not true. The Jessica Smith or Carmen Winstead story are very similar. Both stories are based on earlier urban legends about ghosts that appear to kill people (e.g. Bloody Mary) and none has any factual evidence to support it. --- The fictional Jessica Smith is a character in a story practically identical to "Carmen Winstead" -- a ghost appears to kill people who don't forward her story. It is entirely fictitious. --- The story: About 6 years ago in Indiana, Jessica Smith aka Carmen Winstead was pushed down a sewer opening by 5 girls in her school, trying to embarrass her in front of her school during a fire drill. When she didn't emerge, the police were called. They went down and brought up 17 year old Carmen Winstead's body: her neck broke hitting the ladder, then the concrete at the bottom. The girls told everyone she fell in accidentally. The authorities believed them. When this story was posted online, 16 year old David Gregory read the post and didn't repost it. When he went to take a shower he heard laughter, started freaking out and ran to his computer to repost it. He said goodnight to his mom and went to sleep. Five hours later his mom woke up in the middle of the night because of a loud noise. David was gone, that morning a few hours later the police found him in the sewer, his neck broken and his face skin peeled off. If you don't repost this saying: "She was pushed" or "They pushed her down a sewer" then Carmen will get you, either from a sewer, the toilet, or the shower. Or when you go to sleep, you'll wake up in the sewer, in the dark, then Carmen will come and kill you. --- Ghost stories appeal to the young, naive, or overly superstitious. This story is no different in basis than the "chain letters" of the past that supposedly brought good luck or bad luck depending on whether someone passed them on.
