Hanako-san, Japanese Urban Legends
Hanako-san -- a spooky young girl that haunts school restrooms across
Japan -- has in recent decades become one of the nation's most famous
ghosts.
It is not uncommon for schools to have a toilet permanently occupied by the mysterious girl, who is known in Japanese as Toire no Hanako-san
(lit. "Hanako of the toilet"). She is often found in the third stall in
the restroom on the third floor -- usually the girls' room -- but this
can vary from school to school. Details about her physical appearance
also vary, but she is usually described as having bobbed hair and
wearing a red skirt.
