Folk memory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Folk memories is a term not often used to describe stories, folklore or myths about past events that have passed orally from generation to generation. The events described by the memories may date back tens, hundreds, or even thousands of years and often have a local significance. They may explain physical features in the local environment, provide reasons for cultural traditions or give etymolfogies for the names of local places.
