Two folklore meetings in Bovec or nearby of which audio recordings were made are discussed. Transcripts show that both were pervaded by a unified theme. This can be explained by the way in which the specific time context or narrative location influenced the selection of texts. Thus, at the meeting at the home of a family in Bovec during the November 1st public holiday in which seven people took part, there were 21 folk tales with a horror theme (17 horror stories), while in a hunting
lodge on Goričica, where there were six participants of which three were hunters, there were 47 separate units, of which 36 had a hunting theme.
