Midnight Beauty

Midnight Beauty

Midnight Beauty (Portuguese: A Bela da meia-noite) is a ghost from Brazilian folklore. It is believed that she is the ghost of a beautiful woman, most often wearing red or white clothes.

She comes at night, and disappears at midnight. Very beautiful, she is similar to a living young woman and likes to chat with lonely men in bars. She sits next to someone, chats, dances and drinks. Around midnight, she invites her partner to go with her to her home. Charmed, the man enthusiastically accepts the invitation. They walk together and chat happily until a place with a high wall, where she says "Here's where I live, don't you want to stay with me?". The spell disappears and the partner suddenly realizes that he is in front of a cemetery. Before he can say anything, the town clock strikes midnight and the ghost disappears.
