White String-
Good evening my dears I thought I would try and catch-up for the month If I can or try to. For this post I know that some of you enjoy a good creepy urban legend and I know that there are quite a few in the Japanese legend. The White String is right up there with creepy. Its a short one but interesting too. Some say besides being a urban legend it is a true one however that one I will leave for you all to decided for yourselves.
The White String is a strange urban legend from Japan that I found on my favorite site for Japanese folklore/urban legends. The story is about ear pierces. Which is odd because I had my ears pierced when I was 16years old in the mall and my little sister did at was 14 and were both just fine. Well one with the tall. It was very popular in the 80's to get your ears pierced as I do remember that too. At the time in the 80's when the popular time of getting your ears pierced was going on this urban legend stopped quite a few young japan kids for fear that the urban legend would happen to them! Many were very afraid that the urban legend would truly happen compared to some of the others so many didn't get their ears pierced during that time of the 80's.
Well this is the tale of what happen to one girl in japan that did get her ears pierced and why so many believe the urban legend of the White String.
ONE DAY THERE WAS A YOUNG GIRL THAT WAS DESPERATELY WANTED TO HAVE HER EARS PIERCED. SHE LIVED IN JAPAN WITH HER PARENTS AND THEY SAID SHE WAS FAR TO YOUNG AND NEED TO WAIT A FEW YEARS. HOWEVER THE YOUNG GIRL PLEADED WITH HER PARENTS, SAYING THAT ALL HER CLASSMATES WERE GETTING IT DONE AT THIS AGE PLEASE!PLEASE! SHE WOULD SAY! WELL, EVENTUALLY HER PARENTS LET HER DO IT AND GAVE HER SOME MONEY, THEY TOLD HER TO GO TO THE LOCAL MALL TO GET IT DONE IN A LOCAL JEWRY STORE THEN GET PIERCED EARRINGS. THEY FELT AT LEAST SHE WOULD BE SAFE IN THE JEWRY STORE MALL. OR AT LEAST THEY THOUGHT.

THINGS DON'T ALWAYS GO AS A PARENT WOULD HOPE THE YOUNG GIRL DECIDED TO KEEP THE MONEY FOR HERSELF AND TO THE PIERCING HERSELF. THE YOUNG GIRL GOT HER BEST FRIEND TO HELP HER DO IT JUST IN CASE IT WAS HARDER THAN SHE THOUGHT. FIRST THEY HEATED UP A VERY LARGE NEEDLE TO MAKE SURE NO INFECTION AND THEN STUCK IT IN BOTH OF THEIR EARLOBES. OF COURSE IT WAS VERY PAINFUL FOR BOTH OF THE GIRLS. BUT IN THE END BOTH HERE FRIEND AND HERSELF HAD PIERCED EARS AND COULD WARE THE FANCY EARRINGS THAT THEY WANTED TOO. SO FAR EVERYTHING WAS GOING FINE AND NO SCARY CURSE OR LEGEND HAD HAPPEN TO THE GIRLS FOR DAYS. BUT ALL GOOD THINGS WHEN YOU ARE MESSING WITH A URBAN LEGEND MUST COME TO AN END. SO IT HAPPENED A FEW DAYS LATER , WHILE THE GIRL WAS IN SCHOOL SHE WAS BEGINNING TO GET A LOT OF PAIN IN HER LEFT EAR WHERE SHE HAD PIERCED HER EAR. THE LEFT EARLOBE BEGAN TO GET VERY ITCHY AND PAINFUL TOO. DURING A BREAK AT SCHOOL SHE DECIDED TO HAVE A LOOK AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM TO LOOK AT HER EARLOBE., ONLY TO DISCOVER IT HAD GOTTEN EVEN WORST. HER EAR WAS BRIGHT RED AND INFLAME AND VERY ITCHY TOO! THE YOUNG GIRL BEGAN TO SCRATCH AT IT ALOT. STILL IN THE SCHOOL BATHROOM SHE NOTICED SOMETHING ODD, WHEN THE YOUNG GIRL HAD A CLOSER LOOK AT HER EAR, IT LOOKED LIKE THE END OF A PIECE OF WHITE STRING, WAS COMING OUT OF HER EARLOBE. THE YOUNG GIRL THOUGHT THIS TO BE VERY STRANGE & IT SHOULD BE THERE SO, SHE STARTED TO PULL AND PICK AT THE LONG WHITE STRING THAT WAS COMING FROM HER EARLOBE IN HOPE THAT IT WOULD STOP THE PAINFUL ITCH TOO. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THERE WAS A VERY LONG PIECE OF WHITE STRING HANGING OUT OF HER PIERCED EARLOBES, AS SHE LOOKED AT IT THERE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE ANY END TO IT. IT JUST WENT ON AND ON AND ON! SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! BUT SHE DIDN'T THING IT WAS ANYTHING IMPORTANT, SO SHE GOT A PART OF SCISSORS & CUT THE LONG WHITE STRING THAT WAS HANGING OUT OF HER EARLOBE THAT DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY END TO IT. AS SOON AS SHE CUT THE WHITE STRING EVERYTHING WENT BLACK & SHE COULDN'T SEE A THING! RUNNING OUT OF THE BATHROOM TO GET HELP SHE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND THE LOCAL DOCTOR EXAMINED HER. FINALLY THE DOCTOR WAS ABLE TO TELL THE YOUNG GIRL WHAT HAD HAPPEN TO HER AND SHE ALMOST WENT INTO SHOCK. YOU SEE, THE DOCTOR AT THE HOSPITAL SAID TO THE GIRL THAT SHE WILL BE BLIND FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE! THE REST FOR THIS IS; THE REASON FOR THIS IS THE WHITE STRING THAT YOU WERE PULLING ON THAT WAS IN YOUR EARLOBE AND THEN NOTICE THAT IT WAS VERY LONG WITH NO ENDING WAS YOUR OPTIC NERVE. I DON'T KNOW WAY IT WAS COMING FROM YOU EAR BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE COME HERE TO HOSPITAL BEFORE YOU START CUTTING THINGS....
SO THAT IS THE URBAN LEGEND OF THE WHITE STRING. HOPE YOU ALL FOUND IT INTERESTING MY DEAREST FRIENDS, FOLLOWERS, SUPPORTERS AND READERS
YOUR FRIEND ALWAYS
WENDY
