Alligator Caught Living At Pennsylvania Sewer Plant, Fueling Talk Of Urban Legend - Charlotte Observer

Does an urban legend encourage people to make it become reality, or is there a nugget of reality in every urban legend? Something to chew on as Mark Price lays out the facts surrounding one of the oldest chestnuts in Jan Brunvand's basket. As Ron Popeil says, "But wait, there's more!" Brent Swancer jumps on the Keystone State bandwagon with Some Very Weird Mystery Monsters From Pennsylvania guaranteed to make you beg for something as pedestrian as an alligator. Further north, as the thunderbird flies, the New York hamlet of Whitehall Names Sasquatch As Village's Official Animal. Half a world away, Tim Binnall caught wind of a Talking Cow Troubling A Family in Zimbabwe because she's been dabbling in witchcraft. A cow. Practicing witchcraft. At least she's not begging to be eaten. While we're at it, Karl Shuker's awakened from his slumber to enumrate Exploring Britain's Unofficial Canine Fauna and he's not talking about the Queen's corgis. More than a pastiche of The Hound of the Baskervilles, Karl waxes poetic about wolves, jackals, coyotes, and the ever-elusive hill fox. C'mon, you're dying to learn what a hill fox is. (CS)
