The Teke Teke is the ghost of a young woman who fell on a rail way line and was cut in half by the oncoming train. Now a vengeful spirit, she carries a scythe and travels on either her hand or elbows, her dragging upper torso making a scratching or teke teke sound. If she encounters anyone at night and the victim is not fast enough, she will slice them in half at the torso to mimic her own disfigurement and they will sometimes become Teke Teke's themselves. Versions of the legend include a young school boy walking home at night and spotting a beautiful young girl standing by a windowsill resting on her elbows. When she notices him, she jumps out of the window and onto the pavement in front of him, revealing herself to be no more than upper torso; she then cuts the boy in two.


This one interests me alot, mostly because a friend of mine cousin had night terrors when she was about 5-6 years old she'd wake up screaming yelling the teke teke's are coming to get me mum, it was quite freaky shit.

did she know of the legend of teke teke?

I saw a movie about Kuchisake-onna recently. That woman gave me nightmares, but unbeknownst to me, I could just ask her if I was pretty as well? Wtf.

Absolutely fascinating and enjoyable read I particularly liked the legend of the Hanako-san in the school toilet. What a kickass way to revenge!
