gross-out shocks‚ and moral lessons learned the hard way. However‚ the most remarkable thing about these stories is that so many people believe them and pass them on. Why does an audience take the storyteller’s word at face value‚ instead of recognizing it as an urban legend? The most obvious reasons as to why this happens are how the story is told to an individual‚ the relationship between the teller and the listener‚ and in the case of horror legends‚ the fear invoked through the moral of the story.
