Free Lance-Star: Anthropologist discusses Halloween urban legends

An article in the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star on urban legends, especially ones like razor-blades-in-apples that emerge every year at Halloween, quotes Phillips Stevens Jr., associate professor of anthropology. "Halloween's largely a children's event, even though in many areas, adults have taken it over," he said. "Parents everywhere overreact to any suggestion of danger to their children. This is part of our species."
