Yes, but every other variant of the 'bug invasion' myth, including spiders under the skin, boll weevils through the brain, and all the other varieties, are complete hooey.
So, I amend my answer to 'Bugs except botflies depositing eggs/larvae into your body.'

Wendigo aren't an urban myth. Racial/cultural legends from a pre-industrial society can't really be called "urban". 
They're much older than that.
So are vampires, for that matter. Many cultures have a boogeyman that fits that myth.

IIRC, one of the first 'recorded' myths that fit the vampire 'trope' was found in ancient china, and a possible defence was to spill grain on the floor, the vampire would then be compelled to pick up all the grains. Man, if that one had stuck Van Helsing would have been a boring movie
Dracula: 'And now, Van Helsing, prepare to die! BWA HA HA HA!'
Van Helsing: 'Here, have some rice' *spills it on floor* 'Woops!'
*Rest of movie consists of dracula crawling on his hands and knees picking grains of rice out of the carpet*
As for me, my two favourite urban legends are probably El Chupacabra, and this one from Japan:

The myth about the gang that drugged people in bars, who then woke up in a bath full of ice the next day with their kidneys removed is always a good one.
There was also one I heard at school about Prince, who apparently had a rib removed so he could perform a certain act on himself. I've heard the same myth told about Marilyn Manson as well. It's great how these things re-invent themselves for each new generation.

My favourites are
3)
The family who go home and find their dog choking - they rush it to the vets and he removes fingers from its throat.
They go home and find a burgler with no fingers, hiding in a cupboard. EDIT: how did he get into the cupboard? 
2)Everyone knows someone who knows someone who got a cyst or an abcess in a chicken piece/burger from either Mcdonalds or KFC.
1)A family hire a young babysitter to look after their 10 year old kid. In the evening, the babysitter hears screaming coming from the kids bedroom. She goes in and sees the kid is afraid of a clown statue. Shes goes downstairs and phones the parents and asks 'is it ok if I move that clown? - the kid doesn't like it'
The parents respond 'what clown?'
When the parents hurry straight home, no-one's there.
I blame Steven Kings ' IT' for that last one....it made me laugh when I heard it.

One last one
A driver is driving along and runs over a cat. He stops, gets out looks round and sees the cat on its side lying down in someones garden. He see's it's still breathing and decides to put it out of its misery.
He takes a shovel from the boot of his car and finishes the cat off.
A woman comes running out of the nearby house and shouts 'What the hell have you done to my cat?!'
He explains that he ran the cat over and was just ending its suffering.
The woman replies 'NO! THATS the cat you ran over, wrapped round your wheel! mine was just asleep in my flowerbed!'
