Halloween Ghost: Toma Sota Balcu

The Toma Sota Balcu is a Halloween ghost that haunts people who just read (and not post in) blogs.

Here's the story:

A girl died in 1933 by a homicidal murderer. He buried her in the ground when she was still alive. The murderer chanted, "Toma sota balcu" as he buried her. Now that you have read the chant, you will meet this little girl. In the middle of the night she will be on your ceiling. She will suffocate you like she was suffocated. If you post this, she will not bother you. Your kindness will be rewarded.

Good thing there's a blog where I can post this.

(sarcasm) Now I'm protected from this Halloween ghost! ;-] (/sarcasm)

And no, toma sota balcu is not Romanian for "Santo Tomas Basketball"

In the Philippines, people who suddenly die in their sleep are said to have suffered "bangungot" (which others call sleep paralysis or acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis).
