Answer 2

there is an city fantasy that my drama instructor counseled us the option day to get us into the mood for appearing the girl in Black. it is about someone who travels around the international and is going in each single place along with his puppy. So he's staring at for a position to adhere and springs for the length of a hostel. he's in his room, the puppy curled up below the mattress, and a quirky dripping sound starts. He reaches down his hand and the puppy licks his hands, reassuring him. He hears the sound once extra and is going to the bathroom to check out that the taps are off. he receives again into mattress and the puppy licks his hand once extra. notwithstanding the dripping sound keeps. he will arise to substantiate once extra. This time he turns on the lights furniture. His puppy is mendacity useless on the flooring. Above it, scrawled on the wall interior the puppy's blood, are the words 'adult adult males and women can lick too'. in case you tell it superb, and scream on the end, it must be very scary.

Answer 7

"La Llorona"(The weeping woman) It takes place in Mexico about the 1800's. And Maria was a widow, that had about 3 kids. Well the story goes that she falls in love with a handsome rich man and he asks her to marry him. But only one thing....she has to do is get rid of her kids. She feels bad about this..even him trying to mess with her kids makes her upset. She says,"No, not my kids." Then he tells her thats the only way she will be rich and have a man, ever. Time goes on and they are still together and the kids are well. Maria begins hearing rumors that her "fiance" is messing around with a young beautiful girl who is single with NO kids. And when she confronts him, he says its true. And leaves her. She gets extremely upset and pretty much goes crazy. That night she took her kids (oldest was a boy, middle was the girl, and the youngest was a boy)to the river. And when the oldest boy asks her what are they doing there, she says "Im sorry." She takes him and pushes him under the water, he fights her, trying to pull himself back up to breathe. He was trying to grab her dress, but instead scratches his mothers face, severely. As does the other 2. After she drowned her kids, she cant believe what she had done. She goes back home and shoots herself. Anyways...this story has several different versions. But..my Grandpa tells me that La Llorona goes around the world to rivers and streams crying very loudly searching for her kids. I also hear that when ppl are camping near water, she calls out to the kids by name, to keep other kids for her own. Shes very ugly and scary looking in drawings that I have seen of her. We tell this story everytime we go camping. It always makes my sister cry and shes 23!! Oh and one more...this is a shorter one. There is a dance that comes to town (Spanish dance). Everyone is at home getting ready, trying to look their best. (It takes place about the 1950s) There are 4 sisters getting ready and one of them is acting like a Bit**. So one the ride up there, one of the sisters said," You better lose you attitude, because you never know..the Devil might meet you tonite." She got even more mad. The other sisters laughed. Well they got there and there were so many ppl. The "mad" sister went to go sit down at a table. Many men asked her to dance and she turned them all down. (she thought she was too good) Her sisters danced and then later went to go sit with her. Well the someone caught the "mad" sisters eye. A man walked in, and all the women starred as he walked in. From what ppl make it sound like...this man was super hot. Men were getting jealous because their ladies were looking. He walked up to the "mad" sister and asked her to dance. And of course she accepted. They dance almost non-stop, then she begin to notice that his features were changing, there was a funny smell coming from him, and it sounded like there was a horse on the dance floor.She thought maybe she had a little much to drink, until ppl began to stare and run away, screaming,"El Diablo!!" When the place was cleared, The Devil ran out and left the sister there. Supposedly she died from fright. (My Grandma told me that one) This has different versions too. But almost every "Grandma" Ive talked to has told this story and even says that they witnessed it happen. But I dont know about that. You asked for one, but those are my favorite 2. ---Sonia-- They are both supposed to be true, but I dont think the last one is. The first one I think is.
