How’s it going YouTube?
I’m your host Landon Dowlatsingh and welcome back to another most amazing video.
North Korea has gotten its fair share of negative publicity with Kim Jong-Un as their political
leader…but today we are going to be looking at a different scary side of North Korea.
So here are the top 10 scary North Korea Urban Legends.
Starting this list in at number 10 we have the eyeless woman.
There is a certain highway in Korea that is known to be always foggy and have poor visibility.
Over the years, there have also been a lot of car accidents that occurred on this very
highway, but it wasn’t due to the poor visibility.
According to the locals, they believe that the fog isn’t the reason for killing people
on this highway.
Instead, they believe that something supernatural is at play here.
Some drivers have claimed that they saw a young woman wearing sunglasses and roaming
the highway at night.
Once the driver gets closer to her, they discover that this woman isn’t wearing sunglasses.
Her eyes are actually gorged out and she roams the highway waiting for drivers to crash so
that she can claim her victims.
Cockroach facial comes crawling onto this list in at number 9.
There is a story about a man who was so ashamed of his acne that he decided to try an untested
and very unconventional way of treating his acne.
He once read about an article online that said if you place a live cockroach onto your
pillow at night, it will cure your acne.
He was so desperate so he decided to give it a shot.
I don’t know though…I think I would rather have acne then have a house plagued with cockroaches…I
mean once you let one in its over.
So anyways, the man caught a gross looking cockroach outside of his apartment and placed
it on his pillow before he went to bed.
I honestly don’t even know how he managed to fall asleep.
When he woke up the cockroach was gone so he ran to the mirror to see what his results
were.
His acne did clear up so he got dressed and headed to school.
But the story doesn’t end there.
The next morning, he felt pain and was extremely itchy on his face so he took a closer look
at his skin and saw that his pores had been filled with cockroach eggs.
Ahhhhh…I really hope this is only an urban legend because that would make me want to
rip my face off.
Red ink drips into number 8.
A lot of Korean households have banned red pens because if you use them, it generally
means that you will encounter some sort of bad luck.
Koreans believe that red is associated with death, evil and pretty much everything else
along those lines.
Red ink is predominantly used to write the name of a dead person, not the living.
So, if you use a red pen in Korea, they believe that something evil will happen to you so
you need to be carful.
Or if you write someone’s name who is alive in red ink, that means that you wish them
harm or death.
So, it’s just best to avoid using red ink while you are in Korea.
I’d stick with either black or blue ink because I’m pretty sure there aren’t any
crazy superstitions surrounding those coloured inks.
And now in at number 7 we are talking about the Cho-nyo-Gwishin.
They are more widely known as a virgin ghost because they were murdered before they were
able to get married so now they haunt this earth looking for males to marry.
They can also be found in abandoned buildings, hospitals, schools, bathrooms, cemeteries
and wooded areas.
So basically, these scary and horrifying ghosts are everywhere.
You’ll know you’ve seen one because they all have long black hair covering their faces,
they are dressed in traditional white clothes of mourning and they just look creepy as hell.
You will also feel a sudden drop in temperature, the wind will change directions and you will
feel very uneasy.
There is this one story about a man who had a loud knock at his door.
When he went to answer it, no one was there but he heard a voice telling him to close
his eyes, count to 100 and to not make a sound or else he will die.
He was superstitious so he listened to the instructions until he reached the number 49.
He decided to open his eyes out of curiosity but once he opened them, he saw a scary virgin
ghost who was eagerly waiting to murder him.
The handsome man in the elevator comes onto this list in at number 6.
If you ever find yourself in Korea, never ever let a handsome man in the elevator with
you and I’m about to tell you why.
There is an urban legend about a Korean girl who lives on the 14tth floor in an apartment
building.
This girl stayed late one night studying in the library so she didn’t make it home until
it was almost pitch-black outside.
She never liked coming home at this hour because she didn’t feel safe in her neighborhood.
So, when she finally made it to her apartment building, she rushed to the elevator and hit
the 14th floor button in the elevator.
As the doors were about the close, a handsome man came running in and stopped the doors.
He made a joke about her living on the 14th floor because he actually lives on the 13th
floor.
During their elevator ride together, the handsome man was flirting with the girl and she seemed
to be interested in him.
However, once they stopped at the 13th floor he said “I’ll see you upstairs”, pulled
out a sharp knife, laughed like a maniac and ran for the stairs.
The young girl tried to hit the emergency button but nothing seemed to work.
Once she hit the 14th floor, she knew she was about to die.
Some people believe that this crazy man is still on the loose, murdering people in elevators.
Dead family member in your dreams takes us to number 5.
Alright guys so if you ever see a dead family member in your dreams, make sure you never
ever get close to them or else something terrible might happen.
There is an urban legend over in Korea that goes something like this.
A man kept having reoccurring dreams about his grandmother standing waist deep in a lake
and she kept calling him over to her.
The man woke up and told his wife that his dead grandmother keeps appearing in his dreams
and she wants him to come closer to her.
His wife warned him that you should never ever touch a dead family member in your dreams,
especially if they are in water because its actually an evil spirit trying to steal your
soul.
The next night he had the same dream but he kept getting closer and closer to his grandmother
until he suddenly woke up.
The more he thought about it, he remembered that he kept an item from his grandmother
that she might not have wanted him to have.
So, he visited her grave, returned the item and the dreams stopped.
Lucky for him because he was very close to having his soul stolen by a demon…
The girl who haunts the bathroom creeps onto this list in at number 4.
In Korea, there are a lot of scary tales about high schools that are haunted by angry demons
or creepy ghosts.
Apparently, lots of weird and scary things happen in their bathrooms because there are
a ton of Korean urban legends that take place in school washrooms.
But this urban legend is about a girl who haunts the last stall in the washroom.
People have said that the toilets flush on their own, the doors slam shut and if you
go in there by yourself, you can actually hear her crying.
But if you are someone who the haunted ghost doesn’t like, then she will take it upon
herself to brutally murder you.
But she does it in a way so that it looks like a suicide and no one will ever know that
the last stall is truly haunted.
The right eye blinks into number 3.
This scary urban legend is about a young woman who was blind in one eye.
She was eligible to get a cornea transplant in hopes that she was restore her vision completely.
The operation was successful and the girl was discharged from the hospital.
Exactly one week later, the girl stopped going into work and she wouldn’t answer her phone
so her mother got extremely worried.
Her parents decided to go to her house to make sure everything was alright.
When they got there, they found their daughter lying on the floor in a pool of her own blood.
She had committed suicide and no one knew why she would do this.
When the police came to investigate they noticed that all of the mirrors in the house were
smashed and all of the reflective surfaces were covered with a sheet.
Inside of her diary they found a page that said “My right eye is staring at me, my
right eye is staring at me…”
So as the legend goes, her right eye used to belong to a deranged person and his spirit
lived on in this eye.
Taxi drivers are organ thieves and this slices its way into number 2.
There was a viral story that originated in Korea about taxi drivers harvesting their
customer’s organs.
Yep that’s right, this scary urban legend is about taxi drivers in Korea sedating their
passengers so that they can slice them up, remove their kidneys and other organs so that
they could sell them on the black market.
I guess they don’t pay taxi drivers very well…This legend claims that the taxi driver
would take them to an underground surgical room, use a dull scalpel and no anesthesia
to help with the pain.
After the taxi drivers would remove all of their vital organs, the bodies were dumped
in deserted fields or on the side of the road where animals would eat the remaining flesh.
The Cuckoo stabs his way into our number 1 spot.
School children began to spread an urban legend about a mentally insane man who could be found
lurking in dark alleys and side streets waiting for victims to kill.
There is a version of this story about a group of young girls walking home from school and
as they were walking down a side street they heard “Cukoo!
Cukoo!” when they went to turn around to see what the noise was, the crazy man viciously
and aggressively attacked them with an axe.
There was another story about a group of 20 Korean girls who were walking down a street
when the man stepped out of the shadows and began to bludgeon them with a mallet but before
the police arrived, the man vanished.
According to the legend, the Cuckoo man was committed to an insane asylum and while he
was there a female patient nearly killed him so since then he was developed an intense
hatred towards women.
Soon afterwards, he escaped the mental institution and he’s been trying to get his revenge
on women ever since.
Well there you guys have it
