The Boyfriend's Death
Legend
[Taken from Internet:]
|
There was a story about a couple/lovers who were doing something inside their car when they notice a guy walking around them. Of course the girl, in fright, told her boyfriend to go out and confront the person. After hours later, the girl was freaked out when the head of her boyfriend just abruptly appear on the window. On the next day, she was found by some policemen insane. Legend has it that the guy walking around them hunts couples inside their car, parking on an isolated place.

The story goes that a couple went out on a date one night somewhere along New Manila. Then their car breaks down; good thing they were able to steer it to the Broadway Centrum parking lot. The boyfriend gets out of the vehicle and tries to fix the problem, but fails. So he tells the girlfriend to stay in the car, close the windows, and lock the doors while he's looking for help.
An hour later, the girl was getting anxious waiting for her boyfriend to arrive when she notices a strange man watching from the shadows. this man approaches the car and starts banging on the windows and trying to force open the doors. Terrified, the girl honks the car horn to get attention and scare the man off. He stopped and hurriedly left, only to return a few minutes later. then he circled the car, deliberately, holding something in his hand, which he raises to the window. To her absolute horror, the girl realizes it was her boyfriend's decapitated head! That's not all: she was even more horrified to see what the man lifts up in his other hand: the boyfriend's car keys. Allegedly the poor girl was so traumatized by the experience that she lost her mind. |

The couple where somewhere in the creepy area when they ran out of gas. the boyfriend had to go get gas and left the girlfriend inside the car. Half an hour later the girlfriend noticed that there was this man watching her from a dark portion of the road. She then locked all the car doors when she saw the man walking towards her. Things got creepier when the the girlfriend realized that the strange man was trying to force the doors open, the girl honked on the horns to get attention and maybe scare the guy away. the man finally gave up and run away. After a few minutes the man was back and started circling the car. The girl was about to honk the horns when the man lifted something with his hand and walked towards the car. To the girls horror she realized that it was her boyfriends decapitated head. She sreamed in fear but nothing prepared her for what came next, the stranger lifted his other hand and the girl saw that he had in his possession....... The car keys of the boyfriend. The next day authority found the girl inside the car crying and laughing, saying things that didnt make any sense, she was driven insane by something , they didnt know.
Up to this day, that stranger has never been found. |

Conclusion
All of the stories above originated from U.S.A. According to Snopes.com, the earliest story documented can be traced way back 1964 from a freshman at the University of Kansas. Then in 1970's, another version circulated in Malaysia.
It is possible that the urban legend happened in real life. However, the original was distorted by tale-tellers to make it much horrifying and interesting to the hearers.
I have no idea when and how these stories circulated, and who started these. New Manila in Broadway Centrum is the common setting of the crime. Some sources suggested that this story rose in the midst of 1980s. If it is true, I suppose this urban legend is connected to Marcos's reign, especially in Martial Law period, perhaps they use this to scare lovers to go outdoor at night. Or if not, then someone just wanted to scare couples to go parking in deserted places alone.
If the girl goes insane and the guy was decapitated, who tells the story?
