What is folklore?
According to Brunvand, Folklore is the unrecorded traditions of a people; it includes both the form and content of these traditions and their manner of communications from person to person. The study of Folklore records and attempts to analyze these traditions so to reveal the common life of the human mind apart from what is contained in the formal records of culture that compose the heritage of people (Brunvand, page 3).
