The documentary covers four different urban legends and looks into the where the origins may have become, delving into actual crimes which sort of match the stories.
The problem here is this film isn't sure what it wants to be - purely informative, interesting investigation into urban legend history, or ghost story style dramatised exaggerations and speculative 'hooks'. Often the team will be looking into places where murders happened in the middle of the night for no reason other than 'spooky' and will end up meandering from their own original point, that into bizarrely acting like they could be solving cold cases.
It's a shame because the idea is brilliant, bogged down by the creators pessimism for the general audience in being able to stay interested in pure information rather than faux melodrama.
