Urban myths and haunted houses.

                   All of us heard about the typical american horror stories from TV shows, movies or Internet. When I was younger, 7 years ago I guess, I watched all the episodes from "A haunting" even if that made me sleep underneath my blanket with a paranoia that something may catch me. I have had doubts about how big ghost hunters are they but that's not the point so let's get back to the main subject. I'm going to tell some stories, some urban myths from my city. The only myths about Roumania that some people know about are the ones about Vlad the Impaler, Dracula.
The haunted house from the center of the town.
Religious people think that at 3 o'clock in the morning (which means an upside down cross) the hell gates are opened, creating a portal between life and death. That's the time when you can see a woman dressed in white sitting on the veranda. The legend says that 80 years ago the house was owned by a just married couple. On a night when they forgot to lock the door, the girl's ex boyfriend broke into their house, killing the man in front of his wife. He left her watch how the man dies in pain and agony while he left the house. The pain was to much to bear, so she killed herself, waiting for revenge.
The headless bride
Everyone heard about a headless bride in their town. The story has three versions: her husband cut her throat on their wedding night because he didn't love her, her head was being smashed by a carriage or a psycho relative killed her. I was searching for her in the local cemetery from our town "The eternity" because I heard rumors that claim that she could be seen on the cemetery wall searching for her head. And I didn't find anything besides furious keepers and gravediggers.
The haunted house near Brăila.
90 years ago, a man and his wife lived here, They had a bar and with him being the jealous type, life wasn't really easy for his wife, especially because they owned a bar crowded with men. One night he had shot her in the head then he hided her copse telling everyone that she left. No one knew about that but 70 years later when the building had to be demolished, a woman corpse was found and the demolitions stopped because the spirit was angry.
