Local stories and legends have the power to tie a community together with a shared mythology, which endures from one generation to the next. Some of the most memorable urban legends are those grounded in fear, told in whispers by the light of a flashlight. They shiver the spine and make children afraid of the dark, and they never go out of fashion.
