Changes

An '''urban myth''' (or '''urban legend''') is a tale that is passed around as true and, as with Chinese whispers, alters slightly over time. Many urban myths are simply [[ghost|ghost stories]] which play on common fears while others are [[Conservative parables|parables]] meant to have a moral, much like a [[fairy tale]]. Because of the lack of detail in most urban myths, it is usually very difficult to track down where they originated.
