An urban legend, or an urban myth is a form of modern folklore consisting of stories thought to be factual by those telling them. Many legends are framed as complete stories, with plots and characters. Many urban legends that come under the genre of horror have become part of an internet phenomenon named "creepypasta". Here are two examples;
The Angel Statue
A babysitter is left with two children while the parents go out to dinner. When the babysitter puts the children to bed she relaxes and watches TV. It isn't long until the children are asleep, the babysitter goes upstairs to check on the children. The father then rings to see if everything is alright, the babysitter tells him everything is fine but asks if she can cover the angel statue outside the window, or maybe close the blinds as it is scaring the children.
The father replies "Get the children and get out of the house....we will ring the police. We don't have an angel statue.' The babysitter is later found dead with no angel statue to be found.
The Photograph
The Photograph
One school day, a boy named Tom was sitting in class and doing math. It was six more minutes until after school. As he was doing his homework, something caught his eye. His desk was next to the window, and he turned and stared outside. It looked liked a picture. When it was home time at the school, he ran to the spot where he saw it. He ran fast so that no one else could grab it. He picked it up and smiled. It had a picture of the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, and her hand was formed into a peace sign. She was so beautiful he wanted to meet her, so he ran all over the school and asked everyone if they knew her or have ever seen her before. But everyone he asked said "no." He was devastated. In the middle of the night Tom was awakened by a tap on his window. It was like a nail tapping. He got scared. After the tapping he heard a giggle. He saw a shadow near his window, so he got out of his bed, walked toward his window, opened it up and followed the giggling. By the time he reached it, it was gone. The next night, once again he was awakened by a tapping. He took the picture and followed the giggling. He walked across the road, when suddenly he got hit by a car. He was dead with the picture in his hand. The driver got out of the car and tried to help him, but it was too late. Suddenly he saw the picture and picked it up. He smiled. He saw a cute girl holding up three fingers
