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.

Well, I found this anagram: A CASUAL MOB TOT

Which makes me think that I'm going to be killed by a well-dressed baby who 'runs a restaurant, and that's all'. Which is only slightly more disturbing than the original version.

But I guess I'm safe; I posted this on my livejournal. Mleh! Mleh, I say!

the word "Toma" means "it takes" in Spanish, if that means anything at all. The other words dont show up in any other language, commonly anyways. Sota is a Japanese name, but thats it. I couldnt find Balcu anywhere. Perhaps this will help in your search a bit.

there are a series of anagrams, all of which could be the name of the originator and their location:

tom sabo at UCLA
Tom Baso at UCLA
etc.

think it over, or she will kill you.

Why does this sound like something that would be pulled out of The Ring vs The Grudge?

awww snap! now i'm really freaked out, dammit! in a way i wanna be the brave one and be all 'haha that is so stupid' and in another way i also don't wanna die. but now i'm thinking...what happens to those who DO repost the message, ehh? uh huuuh..

HA got my google search tho when i saw it on a Ring message board :lol:

Just, great. I really wonder if this is real.

Well, considering I've seen it on the top of every page and you lot have posted it again at least half a dozen times, am I going to get a cricket team of evil demon girls turning up tonight?

Do they crawl across the ceiling or what? If they crawl, I don't think they'll fit on my ceiling. They may have to take turns at killing me. Will they form a line or will they wander out and get a drink from the fridge while another one is killing me? If so, could I get them to drink the flat lemonade at the back of the fridge and leave my juice alone?

Enquiring minds want to know!

Ben, I think they work by an appointment system if ceiling space is limited.

So, is there supposed to be a time limit as to when this girl gets here, or did she get stuck in traffic, or what?

I've been waiting WEEKS to get a picture of her to post here...

while yes this thing would seem that it would be from the ring or the grudge i actually remember getting this thing before either of those movies came out, maybe someone who saw ringu created it? all i know is that this was before those movies and that it is a piece of junk, i never saw her

We are all so easily influenced by things that make us afraid... And gouvernments take advantage of that in order to grab power more firmly... Overcome your fears, I show the example by not pasting this message!

Love over Fear!

this curse is everywhere. I'm gona start one of my own now.

Whoever reads my post will be visited in the night by the ghost of Mrs Tiddlywinks (of Beatrix Potter fame). The hedgehog will crawl off your ceiling and spike you to death, unless you post this again.

Where's she? It's mid night now. I can only see a black'n'white cow. It's rolling on the floor and singing about MUFFled sPOONs. What time she comes here? Do I have to wait for 2 hours, because I'm GMT +2 time zone? But is she still a little girl or is she some hideous granny like in Braindead? What's her name? How old she was? Where did she go to school?

so i'm staying at my girlfriend's parents'house right now. I'm staying in her brother's room and he is away quarterbacking at Miami. The past three nights have kept me awake with strange noises in the ceiling. I don't know if there is an attic, but I would say that there is something alive in there. And now I read this thread, and now those noises have a place alongside a visual of a little girl who will crawl around on the ceiling and kill me in the near future. Thanks a lot. Ass.

Funny, I've been hearing scrabbling noises in my ceiling...I've put it down to mice - there's been a few around our street recently.

The real mystery here is how people survived this prior to the invention of the internet. And why a ghost from 1933 would care about whether you posted on the internet.

I never reposted it, Im still alive.
It's going around myspace now.
I hate people who start these things, I hate the people who get scared thinking its real even more.😊
I find it hard to believe that just because I didn't repost something on the internet that someone is going to kill me. It's all a big joke.
Posted by Josh  on  Sun May 01, 2005  at  02:50 PM
Now the "Toma sota balcu" thing is in Myspace.com and making it's way pretty well around. I'm not perpetuating it, just wondering about it though. I hat ethese things personally... but I would just like to commend everyone here, whose posts I've read, on having such a great sense of humor. I rather enjoyed myself, thank you all.

A grandma was giving head to a homocidal murderer in 1933. He buried her in the ground when she was still alive. The murdered chanted "Fee Fi Fo Fum, I like pie it makes me cum." Now that you read the chant, you will meet grandma. In the middle of the night she will be on your ceiling. If you say "Thats my pie kitty" when you see her, you will be safe. Your kindness will be rewarded, besides the fact of everyone knowing how gullible you are.

Regarding Toma Sota Balcu: There are several varying versions of this chain letter. In one, the chant reads "tomo sama te blistat," a little more Latin sounding. Like the game of telephone, the message is altered as it is passed around. For the record, this is all nonsense anyway. The real chant was "Culbo mantakie lokohanan." Someone should put that in the next posting of the chain letter.
