Not Just an Urban Legend: The Terrifying Ghostly Tales of the Lady in White
There is a famous “ghost” of a long-haired woman in a white dress in Quezon City, Philippines. According to legends, she died in a car accident while driving along Balete Drive. Her stories usually involve a taxi driver who was driving late at night and a beautiful woman who asked him for a ride. Along the way, the taxi driver tried to strike up a conversation. However, the woman seemed to be disinclined to chat. At one point, the driver looked behind and saw the woman's face was full of blood and bruises, causing him to abandon his taxi in horror.
On the other side of the world, in Newark, New Jersey, USA, the same story is told, only there the ghost was a newlywed who was killed along with her husband on her wedding night when their car skidded out of control and crashed into a tree in the park.
