Have you ever heard of Loira do Banheiro? And the Headless Horseman? We uncover the origins of these and other horror legends!
1. Where is she?
In Rio de Janeiro, there is a very famous story among taxi drivers: the Taxi Woman. With long, dark hair, pale skin and dressed in black, she usually takes a taxi around midnight. And she always asks to be left at the São João Batista Cemetery. When he turns around to collect the fare, the driver sees that she has simply disappeared!
2. Bathroom horror
Known in schools, the Bathroom Blonde is the ghost of a 15-year-old girl. It is said that she always looked for ways to avoid going to class. Until the worst happened: an accident in the bathroom left the girl dead. They say the blonde was wandering around schools and scaring people who use the bathrooms. She is likely related to Moaning Myrtle, a ghost from the Harry Potter series.
3. What a scare!
What do you think about stopping to check out the look and come face to face with the Mirror Witch? You need to wrap yourself in a blanket, light a candle and, at midnight, in front of a mirror, say: Mirror Witch (13 times)! Fear!
4. Headless body
From Scotland comes the famous Headless Horseman. The Legend tells the story of Ewen, a man who, in the Middle Ages, had his head separated from his body during a battle. Since then, he has ridden headless on a black horse to seek revenge. Many residents of the country avoid walking on the roads at night.
5. Musical Boo
The story of the Phantom of the Opera came from a 1910 book by Gaston Leroux. It tells about a musician who died in a fire and began to haunt the Paris Opera House (France). They say that, to this day, he is there playing the organ!
