A well - known funny story involves John Wayne trying to cook over a campfire on set. He thought he knew what he was doing but ended up burning the food so badly that the smell was unbearable. His friends on set teased him about it for days. He just laughed it off and said he was a better cowboy than a cook.
One time, John Wayne was in a costume that was a bit too tight for him. As he was walking around the set, trying to act all tough, the seams started to rip. He noticed it and made a joke about how his character was growing too big for his britches, literally. This had the whole crew laughing and it became a running joke on set for the rest of the filming.
In a movie where he had to do a lot of stunts on horseback, John Wayne's horse decided to be mischievous. It suddenly stopped in the middle of a chase scene and started grazing. John Wayne, instead of getting angry, started to have a conversation with the horse as if it could understand him. He said things like 'Come on, partner, we have a job to do.' His improvised conversation with the horse was hilarious and made it into the behind - the - scenes stories of the movie.
One funny story about John Wayne is when he was on set. He was supposed to do a very serious scene but his co - star's horse made a really strange noise right in the middle of the take. John Wayne couldn't keep a straight face and started laughing. It took them a few tries to get the scene right after that because every time he thought about that horse noise, he'd crack up.
One time, John Bonham got a little too excited during a jam session. He accidentally knocked over his drum set while really getting into the groove. Instead of being embarrassed, he just laughed it off and started setting it back up while still joking around with the other band members. His ability to take things in stride and find the humor in situations was part of what made him so beloved.
A memorable story is when John Wayne was challenged to a shooting contest by a young actor who thought he was a better shot. John Wayne, with his typical confidence, agreed. But when they started, he purposely missed a few shots to make it seem more of a competition. In the end, he let the young actor win, and his good - natured sportsmanship was really funny and endearing.
There's a story about John Wayne on set. He was filming a western and had to do a scene where he was supposed to be a smooth talker with the ladies. But he kept getting his lines wrong in a really silly way. Instead of getting frustrated, he made everyone laugh with his goofy attempts at the lines and they ended up using some of the bloopers in the behind - the - scenes footage.
In Detroit, there are stories about the haunted Eloise Psychiatric Hospital. People claim to see apparitions of former patients. In Fort Wayne, there are tales of old buildings being haunted. Some say they've heard strange noises in the historic homes there.
I'm not sure if they are widely known. It could be that within the Indiana local community or among ghost story enthusiasts in the area, they are quite well - known. But on a broader scale, they might not be as famous as some more mainstream ghost stories.
Yes, they are. John Haigh's stories are quite well - known in the horror genre because of their extreme and disturbing nature. His real - life actions are so atrocious that they have become a part of the darker side of crime - related horror.
Yes. There's the story of a woman who thought she could solve her constipation by doing yoga poses she saw on the internet. She got into some really strange positions and ended up falling over and getting stuck in a corner. Her family walked in on her and couldn't stop laughing. It was quite a sight.
One story that's been around is about a schizophrenic patient who was convinced that the hospital's janitor was actually a secret agent. He would follow the janitor around, whispering 'I know your secret' and trying to offer his help in 'missions'. It was quite a comical sight in the hospital corridors.
Yes, there's a story from a small town. A local store owner 'kidnapped' the town's mascot statue as a joke for a charity event. He put up signs around town saying the mascot was on a 'forced vacation' and that people could donate to the charity to get it back. The whole town got involved in the fun and it ended up being a big success for the charity.
