Yup! That's a really popular story with lots of versions, but I remember it best from the book Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

Do a search for ribbon, not scarf, and you'll get a lot of hits :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

That one's an urban legend which has been written up by many modern authors for inclusion in various scary story books!. My kids had at least two different versions in books they had when they were younger!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
