 Urban legend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Urban legends are a kind of folklore consisting of stories often thought to be factual by those circulating them (see rumor).
Many urban legends are about horrific crimes, contaminated foods or other situations that might affect a lot of people if they were true.
Urban legends often are born of fears and insecurities, or specifically designed to prey on such concerns.

 Review: Encyclopedia of Urban Legends
As the name implies, The Encyclopedia of Urban Legends provides a quite broad, but not very deep, selection of urban legends and traditional folktales.
Readers looking for an anthology of popular Urban Legends should looks elsewhere; the Encyclopedia reads much more like a scholarly work, including an impressive bibliography and even references to the appropriate numbered motifs.
The author examines essentially all the stories and themes that have ever popped up in Urban Myth, performing a sort of modern exegesis to break them into their component parts.
