Urban legends or lies?
The Dominican Republic is a country with a very rich folklore, wherever you look you will be able to find versions of different urban legends that mostly take place in rural areas of the country.
In fact, most urban legends told by our grandparents were cluttered up with many different versions of gruesome and lesson learning situations that traced the path to a more responsible adulthood if it is analyzed by the positive consequences they could bring.
On the other hand, it never escapes those unheard and overheard stories that were handed down with many unverifiable versions of it, something that makes the story hard to believe for the listeners.
For instance, there`s a famous legend of a house located at 5th KM on Duarte`s highway, nearby Loma Miranda. It is said that the ghost of a young girl usually shows up and asks for a ride to apparently weary looking people who pass by at a very late time on rainy days of the month of may.
However, when people from the surroundings were asked as to the weird event, a denial always resulted as an answer.
Hence, it is recommended to go to the source and go far beyond of people`s words and at the same time avoid and beware of feeding with more science fiction and lies these kind of stories because of the negative consequences and confusion they could bring.
May you be the judge!
