Janet's Ghost- Construction Isn't Her Thing

I don't know why, but Asia has a thing with putting bodies into pillars for construction reasons. I mean, they've done that in Japan before multiple times, and they've done this in the case of an unfortunate Chinese nurse named Janet. Heck, Hajime Isayama even wrote it in (spoiler alert for Attack on Titan) when they discovered the titan in the walls. But, most importantly, let's get back to the unfortunate Chinese nurse named Janet. This story takes place in the 60's in the city of Kuching. At the time, the Satok bridge was being constructed and it was a very, very popular belief that the reason that females were going missing around that time was so that their heads will be embedded in the pillars of the bridge, so it'll stay up and be stronger or something like that. Poor, unfortunate Janet was one of these rather unlucky females. Her body, with her head missing was found later on. Her grieving parents dressed her in a red dress and shoes and buried her like that. It is a Chinese/Malaysian belief that if a woman dies in red or is buried in red, she will come back as a spirit. Her parents most likely wanted Janet to come back so she can exact her revenge, but that's not quite what happened. There have been reports of a woman in red hitching a ride with motorcyclists, but she'd disappear and leave a stain on the seat that smelled like rotting flesh. Gross. There have also been reports of a woman in red traveling in a ferry across the Sarawak River. The money she payed would turn into dead leaves or Chinese hell notes, which is something that you'd offer to a dead person. Because of this, the ferry does not take passengers after 10 pm. The people of Kuching refuse to even say Janet's name in fear that she will visit them later that night. Be careful about how you treat people, because they may come back to terrorize you.
