	Legend tripping - Biocrawler
		Legend tripping, in the folklore of the United States, is a name recently bestowed by folklorists and anthropologists on an adolescent rite of passage in which a usually furtive nocturnal pilgrimage is made to a site which is alleged to have been the scene of some tragic, horrific, and possibly supernatural event.
		Once the legend trippers arrive, they spend some part of the night there, and perform the ritual if one is prescribed as a means of daring and testing the evil spirit that haunts the place.
		The rituals are varied; in legend trips to cemeteries, there is usually a specific grave that the legend attaches to, and sometimes a tombstone that must be climbed, stepped on, sat on, or moved.

	Urban legend Summary
		Urban legends often are born of fears and insecurities, or specifically designed to prey on such concerns.
		People apparently take urban legends to be true instead of recognizing them as tall tales or unsubstantiated rumors because of the way the story is passed on.
		Well-known modern urban legends include the person who tried to dry off a wet poodle in a microwave oven, killing it; the vanishing hitchhiker; and alligators said to live in New York City's sewers, where they grow to enormous size after having been flushed down the toilet by dissatisfied pet owners.

		They pass along legends glorious and inglorious from soldier to soldier, from unit to unit, and from war to war: stories of bullets deflected by Bibles, dogtags, and amulets; of battlefield ghosts, and of crazed combat soldiers.
		The legends of preternatural visitations, undeserved luck, and unforeseen misfortune are located in historical (as opposed to mythic) time, and involve strange events which occurred to someone just like them, just over the horizon of this hill, this battle, this war.
		Looking back over the extraordinary history of contemporary legend research it is easy to overlook the fact that questions such as these not only stood in the way of the birth of the subject but also closely reflected the deeply ingrained attitudes and mindset of many folklorists of the time.

		Rather than assuming what is understood to be a legend, Ellis explores the debates that surround definitions and challenges the assumptions made about a subject tackled numerous times before.
		He emphasizes the importance of the actual communication of a legend, explaining how it can expose the reasons for the circulation of a given text and what it can mean to narrator and audience alike.

	Legend Quests by Libby Tucker
		In Legend and Belief, she argues that most adolescents’; legends are quest stories: young storytellers travel to haunted places, telling stories as they “prepare for the anticipated legend in action” (2001, 253).
		Defining the legend trip as a “ritual of rebellion,” Ellis says that this ritual “serves mainly as an excuse to escape adult supervision, commit antisocial acts, and experiment illicitly with drugs and sex.
		As legend scholars have shown, one of the most frequent inspirations of a “good scare” is a house associated with death.

		The story itself is a “Legend Trip” as described by Ellis in his article “Adolescent Legend Tripping” in that the teenagers go to the house to test the veracity of the legend, only in this interesting case the legend-trip itself becomes a legend.
		Children are often the victims in urban legends, and abuses range from abduction to mutilation to murder and pornography.
		When looking at the travesties that typically result from legends about children, it is also important to note the narrative aspect of such tales, and realize that happy endings are rather generic and not as memorable as the grotesque ones.

		Despite being recently discovered, the Legend is populated with opportunistic humans and predictably aggressive group of creatures.
		There’s nothing particularly compelling in the story, characters or dialogue, but for a few hours you’ll probably be enthralled by how absurd the whole scenario is. We’re talking about a narrative in which a mystical baker shows up out of the blue to deliver new bread recipes to our heroes.
		That inorganic feel goes from tripping point to serious flaw over the course of the dozens of hours the game will occupy.

		The satanic conspiracy may be a contemporary legend, but the vigilante efforts, malicious gossip, and vandalism the belief has inspired are real, and have attracted the attention of social scientists to this new resurgence of an old social phenomenon.
		A contemporary legend typically has a fairly consistent plot, but the place names, names of the characters and local details vary as it is retold from one area to another.
		From a social scientific perspective, the traditional satanists are a contemporary legend, the publicly organized satanists are religious groups, the mass murderers are criminals whose motivation is attributable to social and psychological causes, and the "dabblers" are teenagers working toward adult independence by participating in activities that seem strange and offensive to their parents.
