Urban Legends What is an urban legend? Urban legends are incredible stories â sometimes scary, sometimes funny â which have a tantalizing bit of plausibility to them. Urban legends contain many folkloric elements and they spread quickly through a community or society. The tales are usually told dramatically, as if they are true stories that have happened to a real people, although they may in fact be fictional. Local touches are often added to the legend.
