Being stuck in a lift without power or light is an unsettling experience for most people.

But throw in a little ghost girl who seemingly suddenly appears from nowhere and it becomes terrifying.

The concept is a popular prank on a Brazilian television show.

Reactions range from jumping in the air, cowering in the corner and jamming the emergency button.

None of the unfortunate victims realise it is a prank and as the lights flicker on and off she reappears from the hiding place.

Sometimes she stands still and simply screams in their face, extracting a scream from the terrified adult.

Two women who had been previously looked at themselves in the mirror, are so horrified by her appearance they clutch each other in the corner.

One man is so scared he throws his hands over his face in shock and then proceeds to run out the lift when the doors open as the little girl chases him along.

Is this the most terrifying prank ever?...

This is simply sick. Good thing nobody had a coronary. The producers would have had some fat lawsuits.

On a Japanese "show" a young man delivered a parcel to a garage,where actors played the part of Yakuzas. Stating"He's seen our faces" they tied him to a pillar then put two sticks of "dynamite " in the top of his trousers then lit the fuses and ran off. By the time the grinning "compere" appeared ,the lad was screaming hysterically, amazingly on discovering he was "on TV" he joined in the riotous laughter. Now THAT's frightening. Appalling,but certainly frightening. Says something about the Japanese tho' doesn't it ?
