The dancing dead

A couple that always dances, night or day, decades behind or ahead are the dancing dead

People may report seeing them in various places like on the streets, in their dreams or even in the comfort of someone's house out a window.

The dancing dead were once a couple that loved dancing. But the woman had always forced the man to dance with her. It started light-heartedly the man was shy and didn't want to dance together since he thought he was bad at it. The woman forced him to dance with her. Even small steps In the kitchen or on the street. But she started getting persistent dancing with him for hours even after he begged her to stop, she never did. And one unfaithful day she didn't stop dancing. The man had passed out after full hours of dancing and swinging each other but the woman once promised him they'd be dancers even after death, she danced with the corpse for weeks. He had died and she didn't stop. Even her body was getting tired but her soul was persistent in finishing the eternal dance.

Legend says they're still dancing. Their bodies are but their souls are long gone
