| NEPA Paranormal strives to make this site as interesting and educational as possible. We have had a lot of request for investigating some Urban Legends in Pennsylvania. So from time to time we will be investigating some of them and either putting them to rest or legitimizing them.
An urban legend, urban myth, or urban tale is a form of modern folklore consisting of stories thought to be factual by those circulating them. Like all folklore, urban legends are not necessarily false, but they are often distorted, exaggerated, or sensationalized over time. Despite its name, a typical urban legend does not necessarily originate in an urban setting.
Urban legends are sometimes repeated in news stories and in recent years, distributed by e-mail. People frequently allege that such tales happen to a friend of a friend.
Some urban legends have passed through the years with only minor changes to suit regional variations.
The compelling appeal of a typical urban legend is its elements of mystery, Horror, fear or humor. Many urban legends are presented as warnings or cautionary tales, while others might be more aptly called "widely dispersed misinformation," such as the erroneous belief that a truck will chase you down and run you off the road.
Much like some folktales of old, there are urban legends dealing with unexplained phenomena such as phantom apparitions.
We here at NEPA Paranormal would like to hear about your "URBAN LEGEND". If we like what we hear you maybe asked to investigate it with us.
Remember you saw it here first.
