Urban Legends (television)
- Urban Legends (television)
"Urban Legends" is a 30 minute 2007 television documentary series syndicated in the U.S. on the Biography Channel and hosted by Michael Allcock. In each episode three urban legends are dramatized and presented to the television audience; the audience is then to speculate which one of the three is true. Each legend has witnesses to tell the story. For the two fake legends, the witnesses are actors, while the true legend uses real people affected by the story. As of June 2008, 16 episodes have been produced and broadcast; it is unknown if further episodes are planned.
