JAPANESE THEME PARK CREATES HAUNTED BATHROOM

Theme parks have had to get creative to keep their guests entertained during the era of social distancing. The Lagunasia theme park in Japan has installed a haunted toilet. The attraction is part of the park’s Corona Horror Fest 2020, which features several new attractions, each designed not just to scare guests, but also to provide a socially distant experience. The haunted toilet is reportedly based on the story of Hanako-san, a Japanese folk-legend about the ghost of a dead girl who haunts bathrooms. Guests enter the bathroom one at a time, and are then, apparently, startled somehow. They aren’t revealing exactly what happens. After each guest leaves, the bathroom is cleaned and disinfected.
* It’s so fun, you’re guaranteed to go, “Weeeeeeee!!!”
* Talk about scaring the peewadny out of you.
* You know what would be scary at the Hanako-san bathroom? You reach for the toilet paper, and it suddenly disappears.
* A scary toilet. We could charge admission to the one here at the station.
* A lot of times after (co-worker) leaves the bathroom, an evil presence lingers.

– Here is the actual “Legend of Hanako-san”, the girl who haunts school bathrooms. She is commonly described as having a bobbed haircut and as wearing a red skirt or dress. In some versions, Hanako-san was a child who was murdered by a stranger in a school bathroom; in other versions, she was a girl who committed suicide in a school bathroom; in other versions, she was a child who lived during World War II and was killed in an air raid while hiding in a school bathroom during a game of hide-and-seek. To summon Hanako-san, you knock three times on the third stall, and ask if Hanako-san is present. If Hanako-san is there, she will reply with some variation of “Yes, I am.” The individual may then witness the appearance of a bloody or ghostly hand; it may pull the individual into the stall, which may lead to Hell; or the individual may be eaten by a three-headed lizard.
* I was with you right up to the three-headed lizard. That makes no sense.
