Beides this points made here, if it fits with the setting or audience I think the theme of your story should also factor in to this decision.
Why would you want folklore? Is it a specific story/legend/magic that is important to the story you want to tell?
Will the romance you want to tell work without it?
Or is it all just superstition? You could add the folklore as the belief of one of the characters without making it a fantasy story where these things are "real". What a person belives in can change their behaviour just as much, as if that thing was really there.

Keep in mind what you want to say, and what you need in the story to do it.
