- An urban legend or an urban myth is similar to a modern folklore consisting of stories thought to be factual by those circulating them. The term is often used to mean something akin to an "apocryphal story". Urban legends are not necesarily untrue, but they are often distorted, exaggerated, or sensationalized over time. Despite the name, a typical urban legend does not necessarily originate in an urban setting. The term is simply used to differentiate modern legend from traditional folklore in preindustrial times. For this reason, sociologists and folklorists prefer the term "contemporary legend". Urban legends are sometimes repeated in news stories and, in recent years, distributed by e-mail. People frequently allege that such tales happened to a "friend of a friend"—so often, in fact, that "friend of a friend", or "FOAF", has become a commonly used term when recounting this type of story. Some urban legends have passed through the years, with only minor changes to suit regional variations. One example as such is the story of a woman killed by spiders nesting in her elaborate hairdo. More recent legends tend to reflect modern circumstances, like the story of people ambushed, anesthetized, and waking up minus one kidney, which was surgically removed for transplantation.

They are used in much the same way as folklore and legends have always been used—as cautionary tales, cultural validation and transmission, entertainment, and wish fulfillment/examples of a better way of doing things. Urban legends are sometimes encountered by the PPC, whether because they have been made into movies, like Sweeney Todd, or because they have been summoned by foolish Sues—the Slender Man and Bloody Mary have been mentioned as possible summonees—or because a PPC agent wants to use the legend in question as an execution method, such as the Holder Series.
