Excuse me on this episode, I had a bit of a head cold, and my brain was working at a slower-than-usual pace, so if I sound uninterested at times, I wasn't, just struggling, which is almost pretty normal for me. 

Today, we dive into what exactly an urban legend is. Why do we have them, and why do they propagate throughout all societies and cultures?

In this search, we'll look at two cases, the Green Children of Woolpit and the Pope Lick Trestle Monster.
