Urban Legends

The White Lady

Origin: Philippines

The White Lady is undoubtedly one of the country's most famous ghosts, with every locality having their own version of this ghostly apparition of a woman with long, black hair who wears an all-white dress.

The White Lady is usually a woman with a sad past, having been murdered or dying in an accident. 

According to different variations of the urban legend, the White Lady was a young woman who died either in a car accident or was raped and killed by Japanese soldiers (in another version it's a taxi driver). Since then, she supposedly appears to any motorist brave enough to go through her area alone at night.

Sometimes, she suddenly appears in the rearview of cars, her face full of blood and bruises. Other times, she asks cab drivers to give her a ride and then suddenly disappears without a trace.
