My slightly older female cousin told me a story about these girls who got grabbed by a witch who lived in the toilet. When they flushed the toilet, this witch would grab them and skin them, eat their bodies and leave their skins in the bath tub. She said that the loud roaring noise the toilet makes when flushed was the witch crying out because she missed catching you. I still hate the noise of flushing toilets...
