What is a Legend?

A legend is a semi-true story, which has been passed on from person-to-person and has important meaning or symbolism for the culture in which it originates. A legend usually includes an element of truth, or is based on historic facts, but with 'mythical qualities'.

What is a myth?

Myths are made up stories that try to explain how our world works, or why something has happened.

What is a folktale?

A folktale is a popular story that was passed on in spoken form, from one generation to the next. Usually the author is unknown and there are often many versions of the tale. Folktales comprise fables, fairy tales, old legends and even 'urban legends'. Again, some tales may have been based on a partial truth that has been lost or hidden over time. It is difficult to categorize folktales precisely because they fit into many categories.

Myth: trying to explain why people can not be found after having accidents on bodies of water. Region: In Central part of the United States, or any big body of water….including large lakes. Human Environment Interaction: recreation on Lakes. Swimming, boating, water skiing.
