Urban Legends
In this unit I had the opportunity to learn about Urban Legends. Now, I know the meaning of urban legends. A Urban Legend is an apocryphal story told as true, also urban legends are simply contemporary examples of folklore and they appear spontaneously.
I don´t have to much to say about this Topic but I will write some Dominicans traditional urban legends.
La Ciguapa
This is a story that I've heard since I was little boy and people tell it like a real story but it's not really real.
La Ciguapa is described as having dark or blue skin with slanted black eyes, long lustrous hair she uses to cover her body and backward facing feet. They are nocturnal and are said to have a hunting spirit, looking for wandering men.
Another Urban Legend that I´ve heard since I was a little boy is EL CHUPA CABRA
El Chupa Cabra is a scary urban legend and people described it as a reptile like creature that eat animal and also people. This urban legend is not originate in the Dominican Republic. A lot of people believe that the chupa cabra is real but in my opinion that is not true.
EL CUCO
El cuco is another urban legend because this is a history that is not true but it appear to be true. it is used to get children to behave and go to sleep, el cuco has been terrifying children since the island was colonized.
