Urban legends are contemporary rumors and stories often circulated as true. These horrifying tales are usually depicted as having happened to a friend of a neighbor or a distant family member and passed along by word of mouth, newspapers, and social media. Urban legends can be entertainment, but they’re usually cautionary tales concerning some mysterious danger or have to do with sightings of ghosts or supernatural creatures in the city. Stories like these can be found all over the world, and have even been made into Hollywood horror movies. Examples of urban legends include the Slender Man, the Vanishing Hitchhiker, and Bloody Mary.
