Urban myths and legends

[kymmie]

Myths, legends, stories and folklore, whats your opinion on this, are they real, not real, hoaxs to set off the imagination, lies, or stories based on fact?. For example, the loch ness monster, yeti and bigfoot all have reported pictures of them and sightings but is this just the over imagination of what our minds want to see OR is there actually some truth behind the stories?

I can't comment generaly on this as it is to a certain degree a personal view from an individuals perspective. I have my own opinions the same as others have theres.

I feel as a person that these have derived from many years of stories and emotions felt and spoken by people that have been reported over the years. As the years have passed bits and pieces have been added and taken away to form what people beleive as myths & folklore.

In regards to the loch ness monster comming from as scottish family and after many pilgramidges up to scotland I have yet to see the little felow. I personaly don't believe in it but however these are my opinions.

Myths and folkore however do have a mysterious appeal and can be very entertaining and exciting and that is what can make an interesting place or sotry to investigate as who knows they might be true?
