American culture seems to be littered with these apocrphal tales to a much greater degree than in England.
This is the impression I get from reading american books and watching films anyway.
Is this a fair assessment, or has my opinion been sqewed by the material I watch/read?
The films I was thinking of were the Blair witch project, the exorcist etc. And the books I have read recently were 'the christmas train' a vapid peice of work with 'folksy American myths' infecting almost every page. I couldnt finish it it was just irritating after a while.

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
