Saudi Arabia is a desert country located in the Middle East that is known to be the birthplace
of Islam.
Along with its rich history and cultural background, Saudi Arabia also has their fair share of
scary urban legends that have been circulating the country.
So let’s dive right into this list of the top 10 scary Saudi Arabia urban legends.
Starting off this terrifying list, in at number 10 we have Um-Duwais or otherwise known as
the Myth of deadly temptation.
This is a story about a beautiful, charismatic female demonic spirit who visits neighbourhoods
in search of finding her next victim.
She is disguised as a beautiful looking woman so men are easily drawn and attracted to her.
Once she is able to entice them and lead the men to an abandoned location, she changes
her form into an ugly looking demon who brutally murders her victims.
She is said to have two donkey legs that she uses for speed and agility and both of her
hands are made out of sickles which she uses to slice open her prey.
And she also has the eyes of a cat so that she is able to see better in different lighting
conditions.
The moral of this urban legend is for men to not be easily attracted to beautiful strangers
because you never know what they are capable of.
Qareen takes the number 9 spot on this list.
The Qareen is another type of demonic creature that is very similar to a genie.
They can have a master who controls them because they are in possession of the Qareen’s heart.
These awful creatures are known to be excellent shapeshifters who will take on the form of
a person’s deepest, darkest desire in order to seduce them.
Once you fall victim to a Qareen, they will brutally kill you and the only way to kill
a Qareen is to stab them in the heart but this is extremely difficult and you will probably
die trying.
Besides shapeshifting, they are also telepathic and extremely strong.
They are naturally very evil and powerful and they know every detail about you.
So that means they know all of your greatest fears, your weaknesses and your darkest secrets.
So, they can easily trick you or blackmail you into doing whatever they want.
The haunted house in Jeddah crashes into number 8.
Saudi Arabia is known to have a lot of houses that are haunted by demonic spirits and actually,
a lot of people living in this country are scared to move because they fear that their
new house might be haunted.
So, I guess it is safe to say that Saudi Arabia is not unfamiliar with haunted houses but
this house in particular is on a whole other level.
The most haunted house of Jeddah is located just one hundred meters from the sea and it
has a notorious reputation.
Taxi drivers don’t even dare to drive near this house and people say that if you get
close enough, it acts like a magnet and you can’t escape it.
According to the local legend, if you stand in front of the house during the day, you
can feel your blood pressure increasing, and small shocks in your body.
So kind of feeling like you are about to die and you are being electrocuted with a taser.
If the locals are aware of this urban legend, then why do they still visit this house?
I would be writing a letter to the mayor to have this house demolished and I would never
ever go see it with my own eyes.
Jinni terrorizes this list in at number 7.
According to the urban legend and folklore, Jinn are supernatural spirits that are very
skilled at shapeshifting.
So these evil creatures take on human or animal forms and they can even live in inanimate
objects such as trees, rocks and underneath the Earth.
They aren’t immortal, so they can be killed but they are free from any form of physical
restraints.
They love to torture and punish humans so they are said to be the ones behind many diseases
and all kinds of accidents such as natural disasters or road accidents.
They are known to cause a lot of destructive mischief and they love to watch humans suffer.
There are different types of Jinn and depending on their classification, they have a bunch
of different powers that are all harmful or damaging to humans.
Bent Al Kharsa sneaks into number 6.
She is also referred to as the daughter of the speechless because her lips have been
stitched together because she is being punished for something sinful that she did.
It is believed that she likes to kidnap men and force them to marry her.
She has the ability to kill without any weapons and she is even able to kill you by tickling
your flesh.
Apparently, she has these long fingers and she enjoys tickling her victims so that they
will historically laugh until they die.
Wow, this woman sounds like a complete nightmare.
This sounds like one of the worst ways to die.
But if I saw a woman with her lips sewn shut, I wouldn’t be sticking around long enough
for her to try and force me to marry her.
The Nasnas creeps onto this list in at number 5.
This horrific looking creature is a hybrid between a human being and a demonic spirit.
This unfortunate crossbreeding resulted in the Nasnas to be half a human body and a demon
spirit.
Yes, that means he literally looks like an evil half human.
Even though the Nasnas only has one leg and arm, they are extremely agile because they
use their tail to help them with balance and movement.
These evil creatures would disguise themselves as decrepit old men who would try to get others
to carry them over passages of water.
Once the Nasnas successful enticed their victim to help them, they would change form and drown
their victims in the water.
These terrifying creatures are also known to easily murder a human to death by only
using their one hand.
And because they are missing half of their vocal cords, they aren’t able to speak but
they are able to emit an ear-piercing noise that is supposed to be dreadful to hear.
And depending on the volume and tone of this screeching noise, you would be able to tell
what the Nasnas is feeling.
Ghouls force their way into number 4.
These terrifying creatures are known to feed on decomposing corpses and they can be found
living in tunnels located underneath graveyards.
The ghouls have been a part of Saudi Arabian folklore for a very long time.
Ghouls are known to be excellent shapeshifters that prey on unsuspecting victims who are
looking to cross the desert.
Ghouls are very resilient and resourceful creatures who will transform into a desirable
woman in order to lure these men where they would viciously kill them or mate with them.
Obviously ghouls have a very bad reputation but things get even worse.
They are known to be repulsive looking creatures who enjoy kidnapping people and feeding on
their flesh.
They are even able to absorb the traits of the humans that they eat such as memories
and appearances.
Apparently, the only way to banish a ghoul is to recite a line from the Quran.
The haunting of the Al Qasimi Palace spooks us in at number 3.
Every horror movie that has a possessed or haunted house looks like this one.
Except unlike the movies, this house has a dark past and it rumoured to be very sinister.
The palace was abandoned back in the 1980’s after the owners stayed there for only one
night.
They claimed that the house was full of paranormal activity and they couldn’t live there anymore.
Since the palace was abandoned, curious people have wandered around the mansion, searching
for ghost activity and supernatural presences.
People have reported feeling impending doom, sounds of a woman crying through the halls
and they have also seen children peeping out of broken stained-glass windows while crying.
According to the legend, “You don’t seek the way to the palace, it will find you in
time.”
The legend also claims that if you visit this haunted palace on a night with a full moon,
something awful will happen to you.
So, my advice would be to stay far away from the Palace if you live in Sadia Arabia.
Apparently, even if you search the name of this palace into google you are doomed, so
I guess I’m in a lot of trouble.
Up next in at number 2 we have Abu Al Salasel.
This scary looking man is also known as the man of chains.
This is a very popular Urban Legend that has been circulating in Saudi Arabia for many
years.
It’s about an extremely ugly humanoid that is covered in chains.
He often uses these chains to attack his prey and it is also believed that he is one of
the most powerful demonic spirits in Saudi Arabia.
He is most active at night and it is said that if you hear him walking with his chains,
you are supposed to get out of that area immediately or you have a high probability of dying.
The Abu Al Salasel craves human flesh and he won’t stop hunting humans until his craving
his satisfied.
This urban legend says that he is completely fearless and he might even follow you into
your home.
A real witch, tops this list in at number 1.
Witches and ghouls are a very popular urban legend in Saudi Arabia and even everywhere
else in the world.
Witches are women who are thought to have evil magical powers that have the potential
to harm or kill people.
So, what if I told you that there was a real police encounter with a witch?
Do you believe in witches?
You might after you see this clip.
Is this real life right now?
The two Saudi police officers came across this creepy looking witch in a hostile military
area where no civilians were able to go to.
And based on their reactions, they seem legitimately terrified.
I think I’m going to have nightmares about this scary looking, hunched over witch for
a long time.
I mean, she was chasing after this car for so long.
