Urban Legends: Man In the Elevator

In South Korea, there is an urban legend about the reason why elevators have a stop button now.

One night a young woman went home late. She lived on the 14th floor so she went to the elevator and right before the doors closed a handsome young man came onto the elevator. He pressed the button for the 13th floor. When it stopped on the 13th floor he steps out of the elevator and turns with a knife in hand saying "I'll see you on the next floor."

The girl panics and tries all the buttons, but none of them stopped the elevator. She could only hope he does not have the chance to beat the elevator and she could make it to her apartment. Unfortunately, as the doors open the last thing the girl sees is the blade.
