Facts, Myths, and Urban Legends A Myth: A traditional or legendary story, usually concerning some being or hero or event, with or without a determinable basis of fact or a natural explanation. A Fact: Something that actually exists; reality; truth. An Urban Legend: A modern story of obscure origin and with little or no supporting evidence that spreads spontaneously in varying forms and often has elements of humor, moralizing, or horror.

Popular Urban Legends… Alligators live in the sewer. The legend of Bloody Mary. You can dissolve a human tooth in Coca-Cola. Walt Disney is cryogenically frozen. The kidney heist. The poisonous Granddaddy Longlegs.

The Legend of Boo Radley From what we know of Boo Radley, he is more urban legend than fact. His story is of obscure origin, containing little or no supporting evidence. His story spreads spontaneously and contains elements of horror. People, like Miss Maudie, know he’s still alive, but they haven’t seen him for many years.

Create Your Own Urban Legend Your assignment for today is to write about an experience with an urban legend from your point-of-view. For example, if you visited the Albino Farm, describe your experience using sensory details – time, place, sights, smells, or any other details that helps paint a picture for the reader. Write your urban legend in Word. It needs to be 250-500 words. MLA format. If you’re completely unfamiliar with urban legends, research a few using Snopes.com.
