Long Short Story - Urban Legends.
This urban legend is being talked about in schools in Spain, featuring a website called "Blind Maiden".
They say, that most of the time, the website is offline, meaning that one can not have access to it no matter how much you try. However, according to the rumors, there are three rules you must follow in order to access the website.
  • You must be alone.
  • You must turn off all the lights in your house.
  • You must go to the website at exactly midnight on a moonless night.
If you do everything correctly, you will be granted access to the website.
Once inside, you will be shown a never-ending montage of screaming faces, one after another, boys and girls. Their faces twisted in tremendous fear, their mouths are frozen in a silent scream. Their eyes missing, instead just two hollow holes.
According to the legend, some lines in Spanish will be displayed on the screen, roughly being translated into:
"This website will take you to a whole new level of horror. A horror that will use all five of your senses. You must be very careful not to click on anything by accident. You will be faced with a real experience of absolute horror. Click the 'accept' button to engage actively in the experience."
Below the text are two buttons, "Accept" and "Decline".
At this point, you'll probably be really curious. You'll probably feel tempted to click the 'accept' button. But you shall not do that. If you accept the challenge, you will only be taking your life in your hands. So it is better to click 'decline' and be on the safe side.
This is supposed to happen if you accept the challenge:
To your surprise and horror, you observe on your monitor a sinister silhouette walking... towards your own home! You want to wake up. You want this to just be a nightmare.
You watch as the silhouette approaches and enters the same room you are sitting in...
You will see, on your monitor, your own back...
Then you will feel a presence behind you... You will feel a tap on your shoulder...
The last thing you will see before you die will be the face of the Blind Maiden, staring mercilessly at you with her horrible eyes.
It is also said, that the blind maiden will rip out your eyes and take a snapshot of your face so that you will forever be a part of the website's picture gallery.

Urban Legends: Blind Maiden

Long Short Story - Urban Legends.

Aka Manto, also known as The Red Cape, is said to be a malicious spirit who wears a mask and as the name says, also a red cape. Aka Manto appears and kills people in public and school bathrooms.

The spirit will ask the occupant of the toilet a question. In some versions, he will ask if they want red paper or blue paper, though other versions identify the choices as a red cloak or a blue cloak, or as a red cape or a blue cape.

If you say red, you will suffer a bloody and violent death.

If you say blue, you will be suffocated until you turn blue and die.

You can't trick the spirit either. If you try and say, that you just want the normal one, two ghostly hands will appear out of nowhere, sometimes right out of the toilet, you are sitting on and then drag you to hell through the same toilet.

They say, that to be saved from this spirit, you have to decline every offer given by him. Only that will make him go away, for now...


Urban Legends: Aka Manto

Long Short Story - Urban Legends.

There was once a young girl who was extremely insecure about her looks. She was determined to always look beautiful and would try any beauty secret at hand.

One day, she heard about a new organic beauty treatment from a friend in school. The method was allegedly going to leave her skin smooth and silky.

The 'wonderful' treatment involved mixing sesame seeds in the bathwater and immersing in it for a couple of hours.

The girl was excited to try it out and rushed home to give it a try. She poured the seeds into the warm bathtub and let herself relax.

When several hours had passed and still the girl didn't come out of the bathroom, her mother began to worry. But every time her mother asked the girl to come out, the reply would always be, "Just a moment."

In the end, the mother couldn't take it any longer and broke the bathroom door. The mother stood there by the door, in utter shock. To her horror, the seeds had started to grow roots and latched onto the skin of her daughter, between every wrinkle and every pore.

The girl, mad with the grief of losing her beauty, was sitting in a corner and frantically trying to remove the seeds with a toothpick.
