Urban Legends What are they? • Popular stories alleged to be true which spread from person to person via oral or written communication (e.g., fax or email). • They're defined as stories alleged to be true in the absence of real evidence or proof. Where do they come from? • Legends tend to arise spontaneously and are rarely traceable to a single point of origin. • They spread primarily from individual to individual through interpersonal communication, and only in atypical cases through mass media or other institutional means. What are they about? • Stories concern outlandish, humiliating, humorous, terrifying, or supernatural events — events which, in the telling, always happened to someone else. • Sometimes, but not always, there's an implied moral message, e.g., "Be careful, or the same thing could happen to you!"
