P-OT chart

Presumption- the normal	Based on a reference group or experience	There is no true gathered evidence on a seven-foot troll to be living under the bridge. The best thing here is the sound of words being said through the wind and reports of things being throw at passing vehicles.
Repetition	Say it again. And again. And again.	Investigators continuously repeating how the troll is an urban legend story
Interpretive schemes	Limit the context of interpretation to gain clarity	Either not enough evidence found or little reported but enough to make folks believe something could be living under this bridge.
Succession          (could be both or either or?)	Cause and effect argument	A car accident happened on the bridge; therefore, people believe the bridge is haunted as reports of, “disembodied screaming sounds are said to be manifests here due to the car accident.”
Coexistence	A person/manifestations argument	“Disembodied screaming sounds are said to manifests here due to the car accident said to have occurred at the bridge.”
Import	Event calls attention to rules possible applications	With a group of teenagers having a car accident on the bridge there have been reports of a troll living under the bridge, while hearing screams and a shadowy figure throwing things.

Fallacies chart

Hasty Generalization	A conclusion is draw from too small a sample of evidence	“Disembodied screaming sounds are said to manifests here due to the car accident said to have occurred at the bridge.”   Evidence collected: Nothing, just some random words. This story is most likely an urban legend or folklore.	Folks report to hearing screaming sounds, evidence collected was just random words heard, story most likely an urban legend
Appeal to Ignorance	A misleading argument used in reliance on people’s ignorance.	This may be the case here or there may be some purposeful embellishment just to make the area appear to be much spookier than it truly is.	Not enough evidence to truly believe there could be a troll haunting this bridge
Faulty Cause	Assumes that because one event follows another, the first event caused the second	“Legend says that a group of teenagers had a car accident on the bridge” “Disembodied screaming sounds are said to manifests here”	Because of the car accident that happen here to a group of teenagers, people who cross the bridge sometimes here screaming sounds.
False Equivalence	A particular word/expression in multiple senses throughout an argument leading to a false conclusion	“urban Legend”	Multiple times these words appear to truly believe that what is haunting the bridge is false
