Paranormal Activities

Aka Manto

In a school in Tokyo, Japan, there is said to be a ghost, named Aka Manto, who haunts the girl's bathroom. Every kid at school knew about Aka Manto, so they always avoided the old bathroom by the gymnasium. One day, a young girl desperately needed to use the bathroom. Since it was the closest one, she decided to use the old bathroom that no one used. She thoughtlessly picked the fourth stall to do her business, since it looked the cleanest. When the girl reached for some toilet paper, she found none in the dispenser. That's when she heard the voice of Aka Manto outside the stall door.

"Do you want red paper, or blue paper?" He asked.

"Red paper." The girl replied. Aka Manto burst down the door of the stall and began stabbing her. He didn't stop until every inch of her clothing was stained red from her blood.

Many months later, another young girl found herself in desperate need of a bathroom. While she knew about the unsolved murder that had taken place in the gymnasium bathroom, she was too desperate to find another bathroom. When she finished her business in the fourth stall, she found no toilet paper in the dispenser.

"Do you want red paper or blue paper?" Aka Manto asked, lurking outside her stall.

The young girl remembered what had happened to the other girl who had answered red paper, so she answered, "Blue paper." The police found her dead in the stall later that evening. Her face had turned blue from being suffocated to death.

Another year passed, and again a third girl found herself using the bathroom by the gymnasium. Knowing the stories of the girls who had been killed, this girl brought her own paper to use. Upon opening her bag, though, she found that the paper she had brought had disappeared.

"Red paper or blue paper?" Aka Manto asked.

Desperate to not die like the others, the girl requested a third option. "Yellow paper." She was dragged down into the underworld through the toilet she had just used.

It's said that Aka Manto still haunts the fourth stall of that same bathroom to this day. Teachers refuse to let any other students anywhere close to that bathroom out of fear of what lurks inside. It is still possible to use that bathroom though, but if you do, be prepared to answer "Red paper or blue paper?"
