Directions: In a single post of at least 350 words (more are encouraged), choose TWO (2) of the following three multi-part questions and publish your responses to them. Label each answer by its corresponding Question #. Each should be at least 150 words (but longer is always welcome and lets you expound on your ideas). A fourth “Extra Credit” question offers a chance to earn an additional point, if answered adequately. Include a word count in parentheses after each answer—e.g., (230 words) or (word count: 185).
Purpose: In this Unit, skeptical inquiry into urban legends and paranormal phenomena is in the spotlight. The folkloric aspects of these are broadly entertaining: people like a good ghost story or a good campfire tale. However, the psychological, cultural and sociological motivations for that are complex and equally engaging once held to the scrutiny of skeptical inquiry. It is strongly recommended that you complete some or all of the required Unit 3 readings (excluding the readings from the handbook) before participating in this discussion activity.
