teke-teke
Creepypasta story about a schoolgirl who became a vengeful spirit after having the bottom half of her body sliced off by a train (right across the middle of the torso). Variants as to how that happened include getting tied to the tracks by school bullies, or being pushed, or just a simple accidental fall.
Without her legs, the Teke-Teke can 'only' move by dragging herself along with her upper arms, causing a distinctive "teke-teke" scratching noise from which she gets her name. Some variants have her 'walk' by using her arms as legs, but she usually still makes that scratching noise.
The Teke-Teke's modus operandi is to ambush isolated victims at night to slice them in half across the torso (emulating her death). This is often done with a Grim Reaper-style scythe.
The Teke-Teke is usually depicted as a girl in a Japanese schoolgirl_uniform (often bloodied) with her lower half missing. Some depictions will also have an exposed lower spine jutting out at where her torso was cut in half. The Teke-Teke is usually armed with a scythe, or less commonly, a long knife or some other bladed weapon.
When written in Japanese, the Teke-Teke creepypasta/character is almost always written in katakana, as テケテケ.
