Hanako-san, or sometimes called Toire no Hanako-san, is a legend about the spirit of a young girl named Hanako who haunts school restrooms.
Another version of this story includes that Hanako was a young girl who was killed whilst in the middle of playing hide-and-seek with friends during an air raid in World War II.
Though, there are more versions of this legend. They state that she was murdered by a stranger/an abusive parent or that she may have committed suicide in the school restroom.
Either way, it seems that any version of this story is sad.
