The White Lady Of Balete Drive
Imagine driving late at night on a quiet and dark road. Then suddenly, a girl wearing a white dress appeared in your back seat. What would you feel? What would you do?
Quezon City is known as a big and beautiful city in the Philippines. But when Filipinos hear about this place, there’s one thing that eerily comes to their minds: the white lady at Balete Drive.
They say the infamous white lady, or babaeng nakaputi, loves to reside in Balete Drive because of its “conducive” environment. The street isn’t well-lit because of huge trees blocking the lampposts. Light from the nearby houses cannot reach the street because of the high concrete walls surrounding them.
People who have encountered the white lady describe her as wearing a long white dress and having long black hair. Some even said that the white lady tries to hitchhike with the people who pass by before suddenly disappearing.
There are different stories about the identity of the white lady. According to a person living on Balete Drive, the white lady was a college student who sneaked into their home to go out with her friends. They got into a car accident, and she died.
Some also believe that the white lady was a young woman raped by Japanese soldiers. There is also another version that a taxi driver raped the girl, and she continues to find the person who did that to her.
