legend tripping

Legend tripping is a cultural activity where people, often teenagers or young adults, visit locations associated with local legends, myths, or ghost stories. The purpose is to experience or explore the stories firsthand through daring or adventurous visits, often at night. These excursions can involve exploring haunted sites, abandoned places, or locations with spooky histories. Primarily rooted in folklore and community tradition, legend tripping provides an opportunity for social bonding and entertainment while engaging with local storytelling. Although usually playful, it can sometimes involve risky behavior, so caution and respect for the sites are important.
