Is the Carmen Winstead story really true?

Carmen Winstead/Jessica Smith Ghost Story
People believe unsubstantiated stories like this for the same reason they are drawn to murder scenes, listen to ghost stories, and watch gory movies.

These stories are classic Internet "urban legends." They were started on MySpace by three teenage girls trying to see how many friends they could get from it.

There is NO news report from any reliable news agency that records any story similar to the Carmen Winstead / Jessica Smith hoaxes.

According to the story, Carmen/Jessica was accidentally killed when her "friends" pushed her down a sewer. Now she will visit a horrible death upon anybody who doesn't post her story on their MySpace page. Later versions of this story were sent as more conventional e-mail chain letters. There's also a nearly identical version with a victim named Jessica Smith.

The story appears in emails and text similar to this.....

Carmen (Jessica) and the rest of her class were on a fire drill and 5 girls trying to embarrass Carmen pushed her down a sewer when she didn't come up they called the police and the girls said she fell the police believed them. FACT:two months later a boy got the text of Carmen and didn't send it later that night the boy went to the bathroom and heard laughter and out of fear he ran into his room grabbed his cell to send the text later that night his mom was awakened by a loud noise two months later they found the boy in a near by sewer eye balls gone skin peeled off and mouth gaping open.
