HORRORS!!!!!
Since urban legends are often a means of expressing our fears about the dangers that ripple just beneath the surface of our seemingly calm and untroubled world, it should come as no surprise that horror legends are one of urban folklore's richest veins. We worry about the terrible accidents we're powerless to prevent, and we fear anonymous killers who choose victims at random. We cannot protect ourselves from the venomous animals who slither undetected into the places where we work, play, and shop, nor can we stop the onslaught of insects who invade our homes and our bodies. We're repulsed by the contaminants that may lurk in our food. We're afraid of foreigners and foreign places. We fear for our childrens' safety in a world full of drugs, kidnappers, and poisons. We never know what gruesome discovery may be waiting around the next corner. And even if we somehow escape all of these horrors, our own vanities may do us in.

Why else would urban legends be so popular. Almost everyone is afraid of something. Fear is the brains response to something that might cause harm. It's not always logical, and can sometimes be hurtful, but it's perfectly normal. Without fear though, then life would be more complicated. We would never learn from mistakes, because we would never have the fear of making them again.
This world needs fear, no matter how illogical it is sometimes.
Just think positive and don't fear that such thing will happen to you, it might not :)
