The Toilet Ghost (A lot scarier than you think)


Kashima Reiko is a female ghost without legs who also haunt in school bathrooms. You can hear her asking “where are my legs?” when people enter the toilet. You must answer her correctly unless you want your legs to be twisted from your body if you give her the wrong answer. There are different ways to answer. Here’s an example of one version:
When she asks you where her legs are, you should answer ” at Meishin Expressway”. She will then ask you another question, “who told you that?”. You should reply with “Kashima Reiko told me that.”  That way you’ll be saved.
Another version of the Japanese toilet ghost is Aoi Manto or Aka Manto, a male ghost who waits in the last stall in the girls’ bathroom (this ghost sounds like a pervertJ). Anyone who enters the toilet hears a voice asking, “Which do you prefer, the blue paper or the red paper?”
If they pick “blue,” then they’re going to get killed by hanging. If they pick “red,” he then kills them by slashing their neck or back repeatedly with a blade, to make them look like they’re wearing a red cape.
So the next time you’re in Japan (or maybe just anywhere else) and you hear someone call your name or ask you a question and you don’t know who, think twice before answering and I would even suggest that you get out of there and run as fast as you can.

Another Toilet Story
Because Japan just loves to punish you for basic bodily functions, this urban legend takes place in a washroom: specifically the third stall from the end of any elementary school washroom (in some variations, it's on the third floor). Unlike the previous urban legends, where the creatures will come at you unprovoked, Hanako needs to be summoned. Though the idea of luring a ghostly little girl into an empty bathroom falls further from "scary urban legend" and closer to "that paedophile on the news last week" than we'd like.In order to call Hanako, you need to do the polite thing and knock three times on her stall door. This is usually accompanied by calling out, "Are you there, Hanako-san?"If you are greeted with a reply, "Yes, I'm here!", apart from pissing your pants in terror, you can push open the stall door to reveal Hanako. Said to be a little girl with bobbed black hair and a red skirt, the outcome of your courage (or dumbfounding retardation) differs: Hanako-san will vanish or, for the more shit out of luck (in every sense of the word), you will be pulled into the toilet and killed.If you knock on her stall and receive a reply (and assuming you don't immediately break the laws of physics during your escape), you still have the opportunity to walk away if you do not open the door. If, however, you insist on cornering little girls in toilet stalls, you may have just enough time after seeing Hanako to make a break for the exit and escape.
