Urban Legends
Challenge Details
I, for one, love urban legends. Some of them are just so bizarre that you have to wonder how they got started, and why on earth people believe them. A guy with a hook hand stalking teenagers who are making out in a car? A dead hooker under the mattress at a cheap hotel?
I would think that there have got to be urban legends in Middle Earth, but what would they be? It could be great fun to come up with all new urban legends, or to twist ours into an M-e appropriate story.
