Tekete: Half Regulated Ghost


Among the many urban legend in Japan, the story of one woman who is never stop to talking about. Teketeke, that's how she called, not only successfully make a shudder, but the story was kept alive for years. Let's get contact with this ghost.
The high suicide rate in Japan is the beginning of the urban legend on this one. Because Teketeke was actually a young woman who died from jumping into the railways and was hit by a passing train. When found, the woman's body split in half between the upper body and lower body. Not clear what the reason was standing near the tracks at the time, but she allegedly committed suicide. The woman then becomes a ghost who haunts only carry the sickle blades with upper body only. 


Because she had no legs and had half a body only, these ghost Teketeke must walk with her hands and dragging her body. Her voice was time to drag his body with this quick-like sound teketeke. So, finally Teketeke name used to refer to this ghost. Teketeke usually appear in the evening after sunset and the target is school children who come home late. Horror, anyone who meets the ghost, their body is going to split into two with the sickle that she's carrying.
