Serbian Dancing Lady is an internet urban legend about a woman who dances at night in Zvezdara, Serbia who also chases anyone she hears or sees with a knife to presumably kill them. The legend of her being a spirit or demon is most likely false; however, her actions are now used as a mugging tactic.
Description[]
The Serbian Dancing Lady is described as a middle-aged lady who according to the legend, can be seen dancing eerily late at night at random locations around Serbia and when approached by a civilian, she would pull out a knife and chase him/her in abnormal speed to presumably kill the victim.
History[]
First and only sighting[]
This woman was seen dancing outside a hospital in Zvezdara. The police made several searches for the woman, but she just disappeared. She was seen for the first time at the end of September 2019. She was believed to be threatening bystanders with a knife and the despite the authorities search for her, she was never found and was believed to be mentally handicapped though her identity was allegedly revealed to be Mira who lived in Cvetkova.
Virality[]
Since then, the urban legend went viral and many videos were uploaded on social media, most prominently TikTok of alleged Serbian Lady sightings all across Europe, some even reaching South-East Asia. However, all of the videos were false and were mainly following a trend where users would upload a laughably fake sighting of the Serbian Lady while others would upload well-made fake sightings simply to scare and troll viewers.
Appearance[]
She is wearing a national costume and appears to be a middle-aged lady. Her dance is something similar to the Serbian kola. Other alleged "sightings" showed the Serbian lady wearing a bloodied kola or at times all back, but these sightings were proven to be fake.
Weaponry[]
She has a knife with her. It is not known whether she wounded or perhaps killed anyone who came across her.
Trivia[]
- Her face has never been seen or revealed.
- Her whereabouts are currently unknown.
- Her full exact name was never known, though it is widely believed to be Mira.
