Urban Legends Outline

Urban legends have been the highlight of the unknown. A way for people to make sense of things they do not know. Urban legends usually do have some true story basis but over time these stories get fabricated.

Thinking she must have been in a hurry to get back home she would already be inside the home. When the driver goes to the home to give back the scarf they are horrified to find that young lady that had just given a ride has been dead for the past five years. Baffled by the experience and clearly having a scarf she had worn in hand creates a sense of what-really-happened.
