They didn't know that time was passing, so they must not have been getting much or any news. They seemed to be have stuck far behind us technologically speaking, so they most likely don't have the internet. And even though there's a library, it doesn't seem to have been used before Belle arives (after the curse breaks). Therefore, I don't think they really heard about our version of fairytales. Well, we know they know about fairytales, because they got all the general knowledge you would need to live in our world. Emma didn't suspect anything about the town being strange, until the end of the first season when Henry eats the apple turnover that came from Regina and faints.
