The following is an excerpt from the book A Complete Guide to Urban Legends by Ivor Branek.
MELPO THALIA
The rhyme connected to the Melpo Thalia urban legend has several variations. The most common is the following:
When the moon is bright, round and full,
Melpo Thalia will come to visit your school.
She’s summoned by sorrow, tragedy and woe,
Someone was wronged—was it someone you know?
Her vengeance is swift and can’t be denied,
So if you see Melpo Thalia, you are going to die.
There is also an extended version of the rhyme, which adds:
She’ll appear as a shadow and fill you with dread,
She’ll stalk the halls, then sever your head.
Beg, scream or cry if you like,
There’s no escape from her bloody scythe.
Melpo Thalia’s a ghost that will never stop,
And when her blade finds you, it’s “chop, chop, chop!”
