Creepy Urban Legends: The Jeepney Ride

Once called the King of the Road, the Jeepney can still be found on roads in the Philippines. It's usually brightly coloured, has flashy decor and is an important mode of public transportation. Some Jeepneys can carry up to 15 to 25 passengers.

The Jeepney is considered to be a Filipino National Symbol.

The Jeepney is so popular that it has an urban legend based on it too.

Now it so happens that one night, a girl got into a Jeepney all alone. She told the driver her destination and sat back to enjoy the ride.

But it wasn't long before she noticed the driver glancing at her through the rearview mirror.

She grew nervous as suspicions of the driver's intentions grew.

She told him to stop and that she wanted to get down but yeh driver paid her no heed.

Now she was absolutely certain that something untoward would happen.

She considered simply jumping out of the vehicle when the driver stopped, having arrived at her destination.

She got down quickly, relief washing over her. As she started to walk away, the driver called her back and told her to burn her clothes.

The girl looked at him in shock. She asked why he would even suggest such a ludicrous thing. And that's when the driver revealed what he saw in the rearview mirror.

He saw a woman with dark hair over her face instead of the girl's face and that quickly changed to show her without a head. The driver warned the girl that it was a bad omen and that she needed to burn her clothes because the evil spirit knew her fragrance.

Whether the girl took the driver's advice or not, remains unknown. And whether the girl was fine and alive afterwards...that too remains unknown.

Hopefully, the girl did take the driver's advice and was saved from the evil spirit who wanted to decapitate her.

The Limehouse Golem- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Elizabeth's husband is found dead, all fingers point to her. But is it really her or the work of a serial killer? If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and are enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable. Set in the Victorian Era, it promises to instil fear in you. Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer. Unlike the Jack the Ripper legend, Golem is easily recognizable in the very first instance the character is introduced.

Look Away— my take on the movie with spoilers!

Plot Summary: A bullied girl switches places with her reflection. She soon regrets her decision as people start dying. What matters most? Looks or confidence? When we see someone for the first time, we do notice their looks, the way they dress. Personality and their ability to initiate and hold a conversation comes second, doesn't it? Imagine meeting someone who is good looking but is dull to the core. Now imagine someone with average looks but is someone you can have fun with or have an intellectual conversation. Which seems more attractive? Look Away takes a very bold stand where appearances are concerned. But also about self-confidence. In the end, the only argument it makes is that one cannot possess both attributes. LOOK AWAY Movie Plot We are introduced to a timid girl, Maria whose father is a plastic surgeon. Her mother is shown to have no say of her own. She is left to watch her husband ridicule his daughter about not being careful with her looks. Maria has a friend Lily
