Jingpo Lake · A woman in red combing her hair by the lake

A local legend about the waters. It is said that in the depths of Jingpo Lake, people have witnessed a woman in red walking on the surface of the lake or sitting on the bank brushing her hair.

Strangely, she always keeps her back to people. If you take a step forward, she does the same; if you stop, she stops too.

The closest eyewitnesses say that when she turns around, her face is a blank slate. The next day, a photo appears in their phone gallery that they have no memory of taking.
