People have been scaring each other silly with the tale of "The Serbian Dancing Woman" This video covers the spooky trend on tiktok.
As far as formats for scary videos this one is easy, you just need a woman who can play the part and a dark city street and your phone.
Post the video with a title like "she almost got me!"
But is there some older story this is playing off of? It's obviously at least adjacent to the fear of witches. How "Serbian" is it even?

L'immagine mostra un gruppo di agenti di polizia in assetto antisommossa. In primo piano, un agente indossa un casco protettivo nero con visiera trasparente, tenuto in mano. Il suo equipaggiamento comprende una cintura con diverse tasche e strumenti, tra cui un bastone da polizia. Sullo sfondo, altri agenti indossano guanti neri e protezioni per le ginocchia, con caschi simili. L'immagine è in tonalità di blu e nero, con un effetto di sfocatura che mette in risalto il primo agente. In alto a sinistra, c'è una barra gialla con il testo "#BUONGIORNO" in bianco.

Argentina's top court finds boxes of Nazi items in basement
Argentina's Supreme Court discovered dozens of boxes filled Nazi material dating from World War II, including photos and postcards, among its archives in its basement.
I mean this is all perfectly normal, who *dOeSN't have a Secret Nazi Document Stash in their basement?"
(The article is a lot more mundane than the headline: box of propaganda sent to Japan by steamer in 1943 fetched up in Argentina and was misfiled, now going to the Argentinian Holocaust Museum for cataloging.)

Seid gegrüßt meine kleinen, süßen Dämonen 🥰
Sonnenstrahlen kitzeln mein Gesicht, wärme streichelt mich.
Wohltuend und regenerierend diese Sonenwärme, schallendes Gelächter höre ich aus der Ferne.
Die Taverne schon gut besucht, schwingt der Ogar das Tablett mit dem letzten Krug,
an den Zwergen tanzend vorbei, huch da wär es fasst passiert, ein Riese mit dem Kopf das Tablett berührt.
Der Ogar beginnt zu taumeln, der Riese wankend zum Ogar trampelt, ein beherzter Zwerg den Krug vor dem Zusammenstoß rettet.
Die Taverne hell golden durchflutet, als die Wirtin die Taverne betritt und sah dieses lustige Stück.
Ein kühler Windzug zieht durchdie Taverne & die kleinen Dämonenkatzen rekeln sich im glitzernden Schein.
Langsam füllt sich die Taverne, aus Nah und Fern kommen sie herein.
Lachen, buntes Treiben und Gerede lässt die Wirtin freudig Strahlen
Willkommen in meiner kleinen #DaemonenTaverne ❤️
Nehmt Platz, unser junger Ogar bringt was euch begehrt.

Re-upping the travel advisory: DO NOT TRAVEL TO THE UNITED STATES. BC is doing its part, with border crossings down 51% April '25 vs April '24, and now the CBP, which is staffed exclusively with neo-nazi cretins with personality disorders, is making re-crossing even more difficult specifically just to be as big a bunch of pricks as they possibly can. This is national policy now.
Don't come here.
Don't buy things here.
Don't give surly fascist sociopaths in CBP uniforms the opportunity to fuck with you from no reason other than they think they're the fucking master race.

Neyanyahu non ferma il massacro, bombe su una scuola trasformata in rifugio: 16 morti tra cui 5 bambini
Un attacco israeliano contro una scuola trasformata in rifugio nella Striscia di Gaza ha ucciso almeno 16 persone all’alba di lunedì, in gran parte donne e bambini, secondo quanto riferito dalle autorità sanitarie locali.globalist (Globalist.it)
We’re into month three of no food, water, medication or shelter being let into #Gaza.
It’s hard to see how Israel recovers from the photos of malnourished newly born babies: Netanyahu & his cabinet have managed to delegitimise the country beyond Sinwar’s wildest dreams. While abandoning the hostages their desire to annex Gaza –emboldened by Trump– sees them do just what Hamas leaders wanted: behave illegally & monstrously.
The silence of western leaders & media over the siege is also so bleak.
🔥 Endnu en rystende påmindelse om Ruslands metoder 🔥
At den russiske efterretningstjeneste angiveligt står bag brandattentatet mod et storcenter i Warszawa, er ikke blot forkasteligt – det er en direkte provokation mod Vesten og et testforsøg på vores sammenhold og beredskab.
Vi kan ikke være naive. Denne slags angreb viser, hvor langt Rusland er villig til at gå. Det er ikke kun Ukraine, der er i skudlinjen – det er hele vores sikkerhed og stabilitet, der er under pres.

in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •Seems an awful lot like the Japanese urban legends of kuchisake-onna, a vengeful spirit of a mutilated woman.
From an anthropological folklore perspective, both stories fit loads of common folklore signifiers:
- inhabits liminal nighttime hours
- appears human but on closer inspection is inhuman
- haunting caused by a spurned woman
- misfortune or danger if encountered
Tiktok is just another avenue for folklore to bloom

in reply to James • • •@James @myrmepropagandist This trope is also really close to the French story of “La Dame Blanche” (The White Lady) which supposedly appears to drivers at night before a corner and make them miss the turn.
It was the equivalent of a creepypasta before Internet was a thing in France.
