Urban legends are the modern day version of folktales. The word 'urban' in the name, is rather misleading as the tales do not always take place in or around prominent cities. The stories, probably truer in nature to legends of old than most would believe, use fear as a means to teach the listener a lesson or, perhaps more accurately, to scare them out of certain behaviors.
