Hanako-san

Hanako-san
All across Japan in the country's schools, there's said to be a ghost that resides in the girls' bathrooms. This ghost of a young girl, called Hanako-san, is typically said to inhabit the third stall in the bathroom on the third floor. She is most commonly described as having bobbed hair and wearing a red skirt. The legend says that she can be conjured by knocking on the door of her stall three times, calling her name and asking her, "Are you there, Hanako-san?" to which she reportedly replies, "Yes, I'm here". In some cases, it's said that if you open the door and see her, she will drag you into the toilet. There are hundreds of different variations of who the girl is and why she haunts the school bathroom.
