Teke Teke

For those who fear the dangers of public transportation, the Teke Teke is truly gruesome. Its origins root from the story of a school girl who accidentally fell onto the train tracks one day on her way home. The train then cuts her in half but violently leaves her alive, separating her upper torso and lower legs. Her upper half would then stalk and terrorize commuters late at night, exacting the same disfigurement to her prey. The legend gets its name from the scratching of her exposed spine against the pavement, making a “teke teke” sound that’s both distinctive and horrific.
