I wanted to point out the Bloody Mary story which was discussed on this list
weeks ago but Liam beat me to it. Nevertheless I understand your point, and
you don't sound like an egomaniacal jerk, you sound like me when my areas of
expertise are touched upon... (which isn't really an argument against it I
fear). Still I think as a rumour confined to the OU the story might work.

"In either case, I don't see why the FBI would bother investigating it."

As just another urban legend, I agree completely, but this urban legend is
going to kill one of their NPC colleagues. the overarching theme of my
current campaign is finding out about the UnAverse the hard way (and if that
sounds X-Files cheesy, so be it - it's what my players wanted, and they
don't even know what they are playing), so they don't encounter this urban
legend as such, they first find out that a highly unusual bullet killed
their colleague and then experience what happens to their reports etc.
