Local legend is an urban myth, or folklore, about a specific place, event, or creature that persists in popular memory. These stories are often circulated in any form of media, including newspaper articles, mobile news apps, social networks, or even a simple conversation among friends at a party or around a campfire. They may contain some factual elements, but they are largely fictional. These stories often have a lesson or moral, but they can also be entertainment or simply interesting to share.
