1. Toire no Hanako-san
Almost everyone knows this particular ghost if you watch a lot of teen anime or jdrama or read a lot of manga or even go to school in Japan. It is an urban legend that circulated in the schools of Japan and have been passed on for almost 3 decades.
There’s always something different with each story that the original story is buried in the abyss just like every rumor would be changed from time to time from word of mouth.
But Hanako-san is mostly portrayed as a young girl with bobbed hair, wearing a red skirt. She would haunt the 4th floor girl’s bathroom by making it sound like some one is there opening and closing the cubicle doors, turning taps on and off and even flushing the toilets without being seen.
You can summon the ghost by knocking on the 3rd stall
*knock knock knock* then ask her if she’s there,
“Um.. Hanako-san… Are you there?”
If she’s there she’d reply “Yep, I’m here” well maybe not in that laid back way, but she would answer that she is there.
So if you get a reply there’s a few things you can do.
- You can get surprised and run. She might still be there waiting for you the next time you use the toilet.
- You can ask her questions and she would be obliged to answer.
- You can open the door.
Opening the door would get you dragged into the toilet bowl and killed. Unless you can show her that you’re a good student.
If you’re unlucky, there’s another way for her to appear without even summoning her.
The situation is like this. If you use the last stall in the bathroom and hear someone in the next stall asking if you want to play. Beware! It could be her. If you answered yes.. You’re dead! She would crawl from the top of the stall into yours and she would start to “play”.
