This project is a collection of scary stories, legends, and personal narratives. The analysis discusses the characteristics that make a good scary story. The collector claims that the common factors include a life-threatening element, feeling unsure of the outcome on a scary experience, and the story being very real to them. Also comments on the differences of the stories, and whether or not the stories could be considered "fact or fiction." Includes a 10 item collection, including stories about Bloody Mary, scary dreams, and personal narratives about near-death experiences. Collected by Michelle Moreton, Dr. Rudy's ENGL 391 class, Spring 2009.
