... For a sample you can find these legends at this web address http://urbanlegends. ... Why do these stories, I mean Urban Legends, have to be moribund? ... In this case the lesson, or lessons, of the legends are to not go out alone, always be aware of your surroundings, and that it’s a dangerous world out there. ...
These urban legends always revolve around young adults who have just left home and are on their own for the first time. ...
Another point I want to make is that these legends usually revolve around someone who is vulnerable. ... Something scary will cause people to get nervous, get sweaty palms, to get wide-eyed; to know what fear is. Fear is not unnatural in itself, but also not an everyday occurrence for most people. It is that fear, seldom used, that is harnessed by these legends to make people remember them. Fear is the reason these legends live on.
