The most famous toilet ghost is probably Crybaby Myrtle from "Harry Potter". The girl became a ghost when she was killed by the gaze of a basilisk that lives in sewers.
But toilet and bathroom ghosts exist in reality and even tourists encounter them.
So more recently, a post appeared on the Reddit site from a user "littleblubug" who encountered paranormal activity in the toilet while vacationing in Hawaii.
“This morning (September 17, 2018) I had dinner at the Mauna Lani Golf Club cafe on the Big Island and after dinner I felt bad. I rushed to the toilet, barely having time to leave my husband my purse.
Usually I try to avoid public toilets, but believe me, this time I was not up to it. When I went inside, there were four booths and one - the second was closed from the edge. I quickly bent down to see if there were legs, that is, whether she was busy or not, there was no one there.
At that moment, I suddenly heard this terrible howl coming from the third booth, into which I decided to go. The sound scared me so much that despite the problem with my stomach, I turned and wanted to get out of there. And then I felt something moving behind me and heard the sound of steps.
I fiddled with the door a little longer than I wanted to, but still opened it. The footsteps immediately died away, and when I turned around, there was no one there. My husband was standing by the toilet and I jumped straight to him, dumbfounded him. I decided to go to this toilet again, but this time with my husband. At that moment, nothing could embarrass me.
Promotional video:
As I expected, the toilet was completely quiet now. I entered the 3rd booth without any problems, did everything I wanted, and then the thought occurred to me that maybe the "howl" came from the toilet cistern? I even felt ashamed of my fear, but when I pressed the flush button, there was no howling. I quickly washed my hands and flew out with my husband as quickly as possible. If you are in this place, beware of the ladies' toilet."
Ghosts are not only scary, they can kill, including the toilet. In 2015, in Bangladesh, an 11-year-old girl was found unconscious in a girls' toilet at a school and died the next day.
When several other children soon became ill in the toilet, people began to talk about evil spirits living in the tree next to the toilet. Then a ritual of removing the spirit was performed at the school and the diseases stopped.
In 2013, in the same Bangladesh, workers in a garment factory in Gazipur district began to massively complain about ghosts in the toilet. Women, one after another, began to refuse to go to work and it was very difficult for them to find a replacement, rumors about evil ghosts quickly spread throughout the area.
In the American city of Galveston, Texas, there is the Galves Hotel, which is famous for that. that a rather violent ghost supposedly lives in the women's toilet room. He is often told by cleaning ladies, and according to them, a ghost can shake sinks and doors of stalls, and sometimes you can see himself in the form of an ominous black shadow.
Toilet ghosts were also met at the Oatman Hotel Arizona and allegedly saw the Hollywood actor of the 30s and 40s Clark Gable and his wife, actress Carol Lombard, when they stayed there on their honeymoon.
The Chelsea Star Hotel in New York has a bathroom where Nancy Spungen, a friend of Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious, died in 1978 in a pool of blood. Her death is still a controversial moment, allegedly she herself fell on the knife. Since then, a ghost has allegedly been regularly seen in this room, possibly Nancy.
Toilets in fast food restaurants have their own ghosts. At Pizza Hut in Centerich, New York, a ghost was spotted tugging at the flush button of the cistern and causing a general mayhem.
And at the McDonald's site in Cuero, Texas, there used to be a gas station. Its owner was accused of killing his little son and since then the ghost of a murdered boy has sometimes been seen here.
