Urban Legends
This weeks reading was about Urban Legends and all the crazy stories that people have heard over the years. The first one was about the lady who was driving home and was creeped out by the man that followed her home. When your reading this you automatically assume the guy that is following her is the creeper but when he’s actually the hero! Or the story about the babysitter where she keeps getting phone calls and the killer is in the house?? Creepy…
As creepy as it is though, people are super attracted to these kinds of stories. I thinks its because not many people understand the paranormal, and because there really is no explanation to why these stories happened and why people tend to believe them. Take “Ghopst Hunters” for example, that show isn’t very interesting, just 2 men that repeatedly say, “Did ya hear that?” and there is nothing. But by using science they find things humans can’t hear or see with the naked eye.
And for the ghosts stories of Morningside, there better not be any or I’m going to have to transfer at semester:)
