 | | It is necessary for the legend to propagate, first that the adolescent pilgrims must be able to get there; and also, that the odds are good that they will be alone when they arrive. | | | The custom may be based on folk practices from the British Isles involving holy wells and similar shrines; on certain days of the year, young people would visit them, and these visits attracted attention on account of drinking and sexual activity at the site. | | | There is sometimes a ritual that must be performed at the site, the ritual is explained in the legend. |

| | What distinguishes legend from chronicle, however, is that legend applies a structure that reveals a moral "meaning" to events, which lifts them above the meaningless repetitions and constraints of average human lives and gives them a universality that makes them worth repeating. | | | Vlad the Impaler; the legend from which vampire mythology is said to derive; | | | Legend may be transmitted orally, passed on person-to-person, or, in the original sense, through written text. |

| | Urban legends are primarily non-supernatural, secular narratives which are set in the real world. | | | More than the average 'Mexican Pet' or 'Runaway Grandmother' story, for a specific group of narrators they are part of an elaborate belief system ‑ a modern faith even. | | | However, when narrated in the post‑colonial era they bear a critical outlook on whoever (dis)avows Catholic practice or religion. |

| | Its members worship Satan, a supernatural being who is the enemy of God and entirely evil, in rituals that include sexual abuse, torture, and human sacrifice. | | | To less-educated, rural, fundamentalist Christians, a belief in satanism makes sense, so they tell stories about it, thus spreading the belief. | | | The contemporary legend hypothesis suggests that people make sense out of their lives by telling stories about them. |

| | But all religions that rely on such incandescent moments -- from snake-handling Pentecostalism to Christian Science to Wicca to the animist faiths of sub-Saharan Africa -- must confront what it means when the spiritual experience turns sour. | | | "Any religious movement that involves being born again, some kind of ecstatic experience, is quite aware that you can have good trips and bad trips," says Ellis. |

| | One classic urban legend claims the pope's crown or Papal Tiara contains the words Vicarius Filii Dei which, when numerised, add up to 666, the number of the antichrist mentioned in the Bible. | | | Some urban legends actually have a basis in true events, such as the case of the young man shooting bullets into a large saguaro cactus and being killed when his gunfire severed the trunk, resulting in the falling plant crushing him. | | | Brunvand used his collection of legends to make two points: first, that legends, myths, and folklore do not belong solely to so-called primitive or traditional societies, and second, that one could learn much about urban and modern culture by studying such legends. |

| | What was taking place was an example of what folklorists call a "teenage legend trip." All this explains the ambiguity of signage around the church. | | | The sign out front still says, "Absaraka United Methodist Church--Welcome!" But a little sign tacked to the corner of the building says, "No Trespassing--Violators Will Be Prosecuted." Another sign stuck in the ground indicates, "Private Drive." Turquoise-painted plywood covers all windows, and a padlock and chain drape the front door. | | | Local folk disliked the disturbance, and sheriff's deputies got tired of coming out. |
