Is this a cliché for ghost stories, or is there another thing I'm missing here? Why is it always THIS way? · 2:44am Sep 7th, 2020
Why, oh why does every single ghost story involving the ghost of a woman or girl have to be with long, matted black hair and a white dress and dead, white, lifeless eyes and grey skin?
Is this a cliché go-to scare factor thing for ghost stories in general, or is there something I'm missing here? It's always irked at my nerves why it's ALWAYS black hair, white dress, creepy face, white eyes. I mean...what is this, Satan playing drag queen? Is this a fetish of his?
If I were Sadie Adler, I'd say, ''What is this shit?!''
It's because it goes off the urban legend "The lady in white" that spans a variety of cultures.
