Toma Sota Balcu
The latest craze sweeping through LiveJournal, Xanga, and other blogging communities involves people posting this message on their blogs:

A girl died in 1933 by a homicidal murderer. He buried her in the ground when she was still alive. The murdered chanted, "Toma sota balcu" as he buried her. Now that you have read the chant, you will meet this little girl. In the middle of the night she will be on your ceiling. She will suffocate you like she was suffocated. If you post this, she will not bother you. Your kindness will be rewarded.

It obviously seems to be inspired by the movie The Ring. Other than that I don't know much about this (such as who started it, etc.), though I do know that I'm now safe.

yeah, I found a pretty awkward Anagram...
"TO A CAUSAL TOMB"
Is that creepy or lame... I haven't decided yet...
I think anything with the word tomb is creepy anywhoo...
ARG, Why'd I even read it in the first place?

Scared the shit outta me :( I didn't send it and I'm still breathing, I feel cool saying that smile.

I ran it through some translators and "Toma" means "Taking" in spanish, and "Takes" in Portugese, and "Volume" In italian. Maybe the Murderer thought that she had her volume up too loud on her Grammaphone.

Probably the name changings at Ellis Island legend came from strange transliterations from non-latin languages. I visited Ellis Island this year and found my Great-Great Grandma Sivia listed as Ciwia. I had to think awhile before I figured out where the "w" came from. My family came from Poland and spoke yiddish. Yiddish is written using hebrew letters, so her name would have been spelled samech, vav, yud, aleph. In hebrew, or in this case yiddish, there are 2 letters that make a v sound. vet makes a typical v sound, and vav makes an accented v sound which doesn't appear at all in the english lanugage, in fact, most english speakers (including me) can't even distinguish between the two. When it was transliterated to english, the people at ellis island probably just wrote a W in place of the vav because there wasn't any english letter that could make that sound. Transliterations like this one from foreign languages probably were the result in a ton of name-changes.

'A girl died in 1933 by a homicidal murderer'

Died, did she?
By a homicidal murderer?
Y'know, it'd be the grammatical mistakes that'd bug me about this, not some girl on the ceiling.

I'm starting to get chills down my spine as I type this. That's a sure sign a ghost is around me. If I don't post another message on this board you will know I have suffocated at the hands of the Toma sota balcu girl...

If you have access to a time traveling DeLorian you can go back to 1933 and reverse the curse witht the help of Marty McFly.

""Uma garota foi morta em 1933 por um assassino homicida. Ele a enterrou quando ela ainda estava viva. O assassino entoava o cântico 'Toma sota balcu' enquanto a enterrava. Agora que você leu o cântico, vai encontrar essa garota. No meio da noite ela vai estar no seu telhado. Ela vai sufocá-lo da mesma forma que ela foi sufocada. Se você enviar esta mensagem, ela não vai incomodá-lo. Grato por sua gentileza".

Desculpe, como dá para ver, eu tive que repassar a mensagem. Toma sota balcu? Omero da friota para quem leu a escriota."
