"Urban Legends are part of our American cultural heritage, everyone has heard at least one. They’re essentially fictional oral stories that are told as if they were truth, in folklore Legend denotes fiction told as truth. Alligators in the sewers and escaped maniacs with hooks are scary propositions, but they are simply stories. The morals of Urban Legends are simple, don’t be a teenage making out in the isolated woods, you’ll have a stiff penalty (perhaps death by hook) The power in the Urban Legends is the ‘this could happen to you’ aspect. They are warnings, morality tales, and some are just silly stories."
