ORIGIN: Scotland
Although the urban legend of The White Death is a legend that originates from Scotland, it has also spread across the internet as a modern creepypasta.
It tells the story of a young girl who became consumed with hatred for life and a strong desire to erase herself and everyone who knew of her existence.
One day, she took her own life.
However, her rage and need for complete removal from earth didn't end with her death.
According to the legend, anyone who learns about her story becomes a target of her vengeful spirit.
She is said to come for those who hear her name or speak about her, as she cannot bear the thought of anyone knowing she ever existed.
Victims always hear strange knocks at their door just before their death.
The knocking starts softly but gradually grows louder and more persistent.
When the knocking finally stops, the person is found dead, their body mutilated, with their limbs twisted and their eyes torn out— as if to erase any trace of their identity.
It is believed that merely talking about The White Death spreads her curse, making this legend one that thrives on fear and superstition, keeping those who know of it in a state of paranoid silence.
