Se reunían al anochecer en alguna cabaña, o alrededor de un fuego, y competían para demostrar quién era capaz de asustar más. Algunas chicas y chicos hacen lo mismo hoy día. Se reúnen en la casa de alguien, apagan las luces, comen palomitas de maíz, y se pegan unos sustos de muerte. Contar historias de miedo es algo que la gente ha hecho durante miles de años, y a la mayoría de nosotros nos gusta que nos asusten de esa manera. Algunas de estas leyendas son muy antiguas, y se cuentan en diversas partes del mundo. Y la mayoría de ellas tienen el mismo origen. Se basan en hechos que las personas vieron o escucharon o experimentaron, o que al menos piensan que así fue.»
