Legend Says...
Ranging from Bloody Mary to Creepy-pasta threads, everyone knows urban legends. The stories we heard as children and thought to be true are spread to scare children around the world. The more they scare, the more they're spread, and the more widespread the belief. Urban legends become popular because of its elements of mystery, horror, and humor. "Often they serve as cautionary tales. Some urban legends are morality tales that depict someone, usually a child, acting in a disagreeable manner, only to wind up in trouble, hurt, or dead."
