| | Folklore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Folklore is the body of verbal expressive culture, including tales, legends, oral history, proverbs, jokes, popular beliefs current among a particular population, comprising the oral tradition of that culture, subculture, or group. | | | UFO abduction narratives can be seen, in some sense, to refigure the tales of pre-Christian Europe, or even such tales in the Bible as the Ascent of Elijah to heaven. | | | Sometimes "folklore" is religious in nature, like the tales of the Welsh Mabinogion or those found in Icelandic skaldic poetry. |

| | Folklore tends to focus on those cultural forms that permeate the everyday, which are passed from generation to generation, usually orally, with no one author or creator. | | | That area of focus might be the folklore of a particular geopgraphical region or community, or the study of a particular genre, such as oral narrative or performance. | | | The study of folklore focuses on a broad spectrum of social expression, examining the forms and ways of living through which communities shape their reality; those forms include language, work, food, play, dance, song, gestures, beliefs, and so forth. |
