URBAN LEGENDS: PART II

Following our previous article, we bring you two more scary urban legends from our country: Argentina. 
Get ready…

The Bus Driver

In Rosario, Argentina, there is a legend that keeps drivers awake when driving at night. It was a cold, winter night and a 114th Line bus was heading home after a long shift. The driver was extremely tired and trying not to fall asleep. His eyes closed for just a few seconds. 

Suddenly, while passing by ‘El Salvador’ cemetery, his eyes went wide open when he saw something that looked like a girl, on the road.

He couldn’t stop the bus and ran her over. The man was frightened. What had just happened? Why there, in front of the cemetery? Feeling too scared to check on the girl, he left her there and drove away. 

After a few minutes driving madly to escape, he looked through the rear view mirror. 

He was petrified, stone cold. The girl from the road was sitting in the back row, sobbing and staring at him. 

What ever happened to the bus driver, no one ever knew. It remains a mystery. 



The Lady in Black

The second legend, very famous in our country, is the one about the woman in black.

In Saint Gregory, a town near Venado Tuerto –Santa Fe- the neighbors were shocked by the story of a cryogenic worker. 

One drizzling morning, he was heading for work. He took the usual road: ROUTE 14. 

He was driving along when he saw a woman dressed in black, hitchhiking. He stopped, asked her where she was going.

After answering she was going downtown, he agreed to give her a lift. When they got there, the woman said her name was Nancy Núñez, thanked the driver and left.

When the man got to his work place, he told the story to his work mates. He couldn’t believe his ears: Nancy Núñez had died a year and a half before, when a light airplane lost control and crashed on the car she was driving. She died instantly. 

He was even more frightened when he learnt that the terrible accident took place where he saw the woman in black.
