Legends are folktales about extraordinary events, often involving meetings with the supernatural, set in a specific time and place, and featuring specific people. Legends may or may not have a historical or factual basis, but they are told as true and believed or believable. There are legends told about places (local legends), saints (religious legends), and heroes (heroic legends). For more modern legends, see Society/Folklore/Literature/Urban_Legends/.
