I know other myths but that's all that I can recall right now.
I know alot of old myths like the ones about what mermaids are, or Nymph's! I like learning new myths and legends though!
I believe The Ghost Rider legend is spanish but I may be wrong, I do know that the comic & the movie are based off a myth about the hellhounds and one of the ones about the devil.
Though that would be a matter of your religion if you believe it true or not personally I don't believe it though!
I'll put down the full ones later if you want Nobura.
Will you put down the ones you know too?

I'm not a good story-teller, so I'll let wikipedia do it.
Kuchisake-onna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Um, yeah, I'm seriously wishing I hadn't followed that link.

I'm the last person in the office; it's dead silent here and starting to get dark out; and I'm a scaredy by nature.

Guess I'll head home now . . . .

hahahahaha ur fault!

@Angel

La llorona is a mexican story

so i'll tell u it

one day their was this girl who ws really pretty and all the guys liked her. Her name is maria. Well she wsnt getting married cuz she didnt like anyone in the village. but one day a guy came and they immediatley fell in love and got married. they had 2 kids and were happy. but suddenly her husband was coming home later and later and drunk. then one night when she was washing the dishes she saw her husband come out of a fancy car and inside was a women . he came inside staggering said hello to his kids told them he loved them and told maria " I dont love you im with her , take care of my kids" Maria watched him leave. she was really mad . She grabbed the two kids and went outside by the river where she threw them in. The kids who were small drowned. She saw was she did and regretted it. she started walking fast towards the village but didnt watch where she ws going she triped on a thick branch and hit her head on a huge rock.

the next day the villagers saw that maria was missing so they searched for her untill someone found her by the river. They barried her and realized wat she had done. The bodies of the kids was never found. She was told that she couldnt go to heaven that she needed to find her two kids before she goes. Till this day shes walks at night looking through all the rivers and water she can find searching her kids crying out "mis hijos donde estan mis hijos" which means my kids where are my kids. People say that if u go by the arroyo or river at night you can hear her crying out and if your not careful enough she'll pull in thinking that ur her kids.

I doesn't scare me because I grew up on horror and

I think if she takes a person because she is trying to comfort herself through the people she takes!
So do you want to know about the Deer Lady or the Goat Man?
