To Believe or Not to Believe, Modern Urban Legends

Many people who do not believe or believe in modern urban legends have heard of this naughty grandmother's story, she tried to put it in a microwave oven to kill her wet poodle. To say the least, the dog exploded, and since then, the grandmother was not the same. This story is not true; it is an urban legend that has been reported in the past since the 1970s (Brunvand, 108). Urban legend is a truth, a popular story that is said to spread among people through verbal or written communication.

For example, the artist Sarah Hedlund, as a prelude to Halloween, in 2014 created a series of illustrations based on the legend of the city; some of her famous legend appears here.
