Japanese urban legend says a woman cut in half by a train drags herself through the stations on her hands at up to 93 miles an hour, and the first sign she's close is the scraping sound her name comes from, teke teke. READ or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yzsydr6v FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: In Japanese folklore there lurks a vengeful spirit known as Teke Teke, her upper body dragging along at impossible speeds with a chilling "teke teke" sound. If you hear her approach, run fast and be kind to others, for her wrath falls upon the cruel - and those who are unlucky enough to cross her path may find themselves torn in two, joining her in death.

In the American Midwest around 1700, a tribe with no name hides in the snow-covered wilderness, though its rituals carry for miles. One night a girl who's just old enough to begin her training slips out of the village, and when her father calls for her at the edge of the woods, she walks out with her head bowed to hide her face.
