Urban legends, huh? Hmm. [He taps a finger to his chin as he thinks back, trying to remember a story that didn't come out of a horror movie or anything.]
Oh, here's one. There's a place in Ojai Valley - in California - where there was some really big wildfire a long time ago. According to the story, a man and his son lived up there and were trapped by the fire. The father died in the fire, but the son survived with some really bad burns. By the time people got up there to rescue them, the son had already gone totally nuts. He'd hung his father up on a tree and tore off all the burned skin, before disappearing into the mountains.
People say that sometimes the son shows up at people's camps in the area and attacks them, wanting to take their skin and replace his own with it. I think they called him Char-Man 'cause of how burned up he was.
