New Monster: Hanako in the Toilet

Apparently, every toilet in every elementary school in Japan has a ghost. In the girls toilet is Hanako, and in the boys toilet is Taro.

If you spin around three times and say their name, you can invoke them. Then, when you sit on the toilet, the ghost reaches out of the drain and pulls  your soul out of your arse.

    OMG for Hanako you’re either not lying or you’ve gone to the effort to setup a wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanako-san
    That also describes some variations on the legend.

    I can’t find an easy English reference to Taro.
