Myth and Legend are the most common things that we encounter during our search to find more about the world. The myth of the origins is more than we could ever get than the tale of the legendary runners. Those legends seems to be more of a lie than true and yet to those who claim those legend as the truth removing it would be impossible. The myth reacts as one of the catalyst in the society and also as a medium. For any society to accept the truth seems to be difficult except by fusing it with the myth itself in which case the truth become the legend and the legend turns to history.
For the rust to be the new require not just the legend itself but the correspondence of the unusual. And yet after the retrieval of the original source nothing come after the legend has been fused. Although the fusing itself does not require the render to overcome the society. The render itself need to focus to alienation of the society itself.
One day this man found himself in a condition where he was rained down with heavy weather. Even though it was so hard to see the road he keeps pushing on and not stop for anything. He keeps driving his bike and hoping to get home soon to see his family again. But as he goes on he could never find the end of the road. The road keep going and going without showing any sign of his home being near. Then he meet up with someone, riding a bike just like him. He then fasten his bike to catch up with this driver. Then he shouted, "hey, do you know the way to ................? sir" "could you show me the way?". Then the other rider response in a way he would never expected.

There are many stories about "ghost rider" all over the world, but not the one we all saw in the movie, it's the real one or at least that's how the legend goes.
There is one legend that I found rather different than the rider in the movie. His legend appears in the south east Asia.
This is how the legend was told...........................
Not to long ago, there was this young man who works faraway from his family. But even though it was hard, he had to do it to support his family. Every day he woke up early in the morning then drive his bike to his working place. It took hours for him to get there and after work he took even a longer time to get home because he was too tired. He gets home after everybody had fallen to sleep. Then gets up before everyone to go to work...........
Everyday it goes the same as always.........................................................

Folklore is one of the most ancient stories that actually has a based but lack the evidence to proof itself as the right event in history. More that we know about this type of legend that it only based on a tale story which means that it doesn't has any written proof attached to it. Folklore spread from one person to the other through a speaker to the other speaker. So the original story might just been altered through many different culture inherited by the speaker. Those changes might just be incomprehensible to the original tellers through those cultural effect to the story itself.
There are many folklore in these world that cannot be understand by other society or culture just because the difference of these culture is just to much. And the fact these story emerges from one society without any effect of outsider story made these folklore just beyond the comprehensible of any person that doesn't belong to the society which it belongs to.
There are many legends in this world which simply unable to be part of the history because of the fact that the legend itself is lack of some concrete evidence. Legends of the unknown is what I would like to call this legend because it was believe as one of the true event and yet it deliver the fact rather differently than other usual history. More to be known about this history is that nothing more can be extracted as evidence to the legend to get away from something called myth. Myth is simply on the other hand of history because "no smoke without fire" or simply no story can sprung out of no where without any fact behind it. Any story is unable to surface unless something become the base of the story itself.
Legends of the Unknown is simply the characteristic given to any legend other than the one people called fiction which is already unable to present any preferable evidence from the beginning. It is different than the one that can present half of the fact of the occurrence of the legend itself. Some story present us with the time line alone and not the other fact that can support the occurrence of the legend itself.
More to be known about this theory which requires more study, more time and more money...............

The term of "Urban Legend" has not been used since ancient time and it were used as a term that distinguish the differentiation between folklore legend and urban legend. The Legend that is considered a true event by most people but posses no real evident to deliver the truth and simply walk along side the road of methodological comparison. Although the term stated that "the legend" was called Urban Legend it is not necessarily belong or originated from urban area. Because of that many expert prefer to called the legend as contemporary legend rather than "urban legend". Jan Harold Brunvand, professor of English at the University of Utah, introduced the term to the general public in a series of popular books published beginning in 1981. Brunvand has since published a series of similar books, and is credited as the first to use the term vector (inspired by the concept of biological vectors) to describe a person or entity passing on an urban legend.
Urban legend doesn't seem to posses the same characteristic of other legend and any historical event stories because it tend to change in order to suit the people of the place where it spread. Adjusting the story itself based on the level of knowledge of the people at the time it spread is also an occurring event to the urban legends. One example was the story of a woman killed by a spider nesting in her elaborate hairdo. More recent legends tend to reflect modern circumstances, like the story of people ambushed, anesthetized, and waking up minus one kidney, which was surgically removed for transplantation a story which folklorists refer to as "The Kidney Heist"
