Serbian Dancing Lady
In February 2023, a 12 second video with an upsetting sound in the background spread fear among internet users. It showed a mysterious woman dancing in the middle of the streets of Zvezdara, Belgrade and was claimed to have been filmed from the window of a nearby house. The woman is dressed in a traditional Serbian costume, waving her hands out to the sides and moving her heels from left to right repeatedly. A few people believe that though the lady in the 2021 video was in traditional Serbian costume, the lady in 2023 was in simple trousers and a shirt. The dance pattern is thought to be similar to a Serbian folk dance named Kolo. The mystery is supposed to have started in 1998, and since then, people have claimed to have spotted the mysterious lady numerous times. She is believed to carry a knife with her and jump in front of people and cars, threatening them. According to some unverified internet blog posts by people who claim to have encountered the lady, the lady claims herself to be the "ambassador of death" and she needs lives for an ancient ritual to resurrect the king of Serbia. Several videos have been spread on the internet claiming that the posters actually spotted the mysterious lady, and all of them captured her from behind. The 2023 video was claimed to have been filmed near a city hospital, and the elderly lady was allegedly mentally ill.
