The Haunting of Wat Samain Nari and The Ladies in Black.

If you drive through Lat phrao Bangkok Thailand in the early hour of the morning, you may be flagged down by two beautiful women dressed all black. They will ask you to drive them to Samain Nari, which is a civil temple in the capital’s Chatuchak district. One of the women will sit in the passenger seat and one will sit in the back. They will barely speak and only give terse replies. They will also look incredibly sad. In Thailand, wearing all black is a sign of mourning and isn’t usually worn as an everyday outfit like it is in the west. This is what makes this story all the more eerie. When you stop at the temple you’ll notice that women have vanished. If you look over to the nearby railway tracks, you’ll see the top half of their mutilated bodies crawling along the tracks with their entrails dragging behind.

This is what happened to a man named Sutthipong Noom, after a night out at his local nightclub. Others have reported similar experiences. One taxi driver claims that he’s suffered a weak heart after his encounter with the strange women. After picking them up around 3am, he parked outside of the temple and waited for the women to pay their fair, when looked around to speak to them, their seats were empty, they were gone. In a panic he quickly tried speed away but his taxi suddenly stalled on the nearby railway tracks. It was at that moment he saw the two women with blood pouring down their faces from their foreheads. He was frozen with fear, something hit the roof of his car, thinking it was the railroad gate, the driver worried that he was about to get hit by an oncoming train. Knowing that he might be killed, he snapped out of his frozen state and tried the ignition again. Luckily for him it worked. He managed to drive away in one piece. The driver quit his job as a Taxi driver shortly afterwards. 

This story has become a popular Thai urban legend over the years. People claim that in the 90’s two sisters were riding a motorcycle across the tracks towards the temple, to attend their Mothers funeral, they never made it because they got by a train and chopped in half, and have been haunting the area ever since.
