Who Is The 'Serbian Dancing Lady' And Is She Real? The Creepy TikTok Legend Explained
A creepypasta-like legend is going around social media right now that says if you see a Serbian lady dancing in the street at night, you should run. The Serbian Dancing Lady is scaring everyone from TikTok to YouTube right now, four years after she was first reported. But is there any truth to the reports? Here's what you need to know.
Who Is The Serbian Dancing Lady?
In 2019, Serbian news site Serbia Today reported on a scary viral video spreading around social media. The video, allegedly taken in Belgrade, Serbia, shows a woman in a dress dancing in the streets at night. The article claims that she chases anyone she encounters with a knife. It also shares a message from social media expressing fear that she might hurt a pregnant woman or child.
They also uploaded a video of the alleged woman to YouTube, which doesn't show her chasing anyone with a knife, but does show a woman dancing creepily in the street at night. There is very little extra information about the Serbian dancing lady, with seemingly no other reports or sightings of her from around the same time.
Is The Serbian Dancing Lady Real?
Since the initial report in 2019, the story has spread across social media as somewhat of an urban legend. There has been no other solid evidence that she exists, leading some to believe the original video was just a creepy hoax or a prank. As far as we know, there are no reports that she's attacked or killed anyone.
Despite this, there have been several viral videos uploaded online over the past few years allegedly showing her. These are likely hoax videos and tributes to the story, which has captured the imagination of many online since going viral. The videos have become increasingly popular on TikTok, some gaining millions of views and helping bring the legend from Serbia to the rest of the world.
