Urban Legends
Did you hear about the group of scientists known as the “Second Coming Project” who are trying to clone Jesus from the DNA of holy relics? Or what about the ghosts of little children killed by on a train track haunt the area and push stalled cars off the tracks least the occupants experience their same fate. Legend says cars pushed by the ghost children have tiny hand prints on the back of the cars. Are they true? Or are they modern mythology?

What IS an Urban Legend?

An urban legend, urban myth, urban tale, or contemporary legend, is a form of modern folklore consisting of stories that may or may not be true or based in fact. Some liken urban legends to modern mythology, moral tales told by clergy or parents to keep people and kids in line. Others call them entertaining stories that hearken back to the days before television and movies, when oral stories were the source of amusement.

They have always been used as vehicles for manipulation by corporate strategists, political elections and town gossip. As one of our listeners stated, there's a fine line between an urban legend and malicious gossip or attack. And that's certainly true. These modern myths can educate, teach moral code of conduct, entertain or harm society as a whole. It all depends on the story, the intent and the attention to detail. Often times, the intricate details make the difference between help or harm.

Ghost Hunting, also known as Paranormal Investigation has risen in great interest over the last 10 years or so. With the advent of reality TV, cable networks have discovered a new audience with great interest in ghost investigations. Shows like Ghost Adventures, Paranormal Challenge, Paranormal State, The Haunted, and Celebrity Ghost Hunt are only a few of these types of reality shows that can be found in the U.S. There are many more around the world.

As with any industry, Paranormal Investigation has it's own lingo and it's own tools. But there are some basic questions that the general novice asks, and we address those at the beginning of the show.
