Kuchisake-onn Slit-Mouthed Woman
During dark nights, there’s a mysterious lady walking around the streets of Japanese cities. Her face is hidden by a scarf or mask.
She goes up to people she meets and asks, “Do you think I’m pretty?” If they say yes, she quickly shows her face, and it looks like she has a big, scary smile from one ear to the other. Then she asks again, “Do you still think I’m pretty?” If someone says no, she hurts them like she hurt herself. If they tell a lie and say yes, they might get to go away, but later, the demon will come to their home.
Ghost Taxi Passengers
Imagine a spot where being nice goes beyond even after life. where taxi drivers give rides to passengers lost in the sad waves. These friendly ghosts and drivers take a ride that connects two worlds, showing how being caring and close matters. Join us as we discover this unique story that gives us both shivers and warm feelings.
After the big tsunami hit Japan in 2011, this story started going around. This legend helped people deal with the really sad things that happened because of the tsunami. It was like a way to understand and talk about the bad stuff that happened.
Aka Manto (Red Cape) - red paper or blue paper
Aka Manto, also known as the Red Cape. The spirit who wears a red cloak and mask. People say he hangs around in schools and public bathrooms. This ghost will give you two options: red paper or blue paper. But watch out, because these choices come with a twist! Red might bring a surprise, and blue might lead to something very unpleasant.
In Japanese horror, toilets are often used as a setting for spooky stories because they are places where people are vulnerable and isolated for a short time. This is the first but not the last urban legend with a haunted toilet in this article.
The Red Room Curse, an internet-focused story
Let’s explore a modern tale that’s all about the internet: The Red Room Curse! This story takes us into the digital world, where a mysterious red room lurks. Imagine a pop-up that suddenly appears on your screen. It’s all red, and there’s black writing that says, “Do you like the red room?” A spooky voice says the same thing. Even if you try to close the box, it keeps coming back until the voice finishes talking. When the voice stops, your whole screen turns red, and a lot of names show up.
It’s said that anyone who enters faces a spooky fate. But don’t worry, we’re here to enjoy the story from a safe distance behind the coloring page.
Hanako-san
Let’s meet Hanako-san! For several years now, she has been the most famous ghost in this country. You can usually see her in the third stall of the bathroom on the third floor, mostly in the women’s restroom, but it doesn’t always happen that way. Her looks can be different, but usually people say she’s a girl with short hair and a red skirt.
Some people believe she might even grant wishes or offer advice.
Teketeke no legs woman
Another urban legend character is Teke-Teke, actually Reiko Kashima, who was cut in half by a speeding subway train. Her ghost, despite not having legs, moves incredibly fast. Hobbling on her hands and elbows, dragging her torso on the ground, she makes a distinctive “teke-teke” sound.
Unfortunate individuals who cross her path are cut in half using a scythe or a saw. Similar to Kuchisake-onna, a series of questions is posed to the victim. “Where are my legs?” the apparition begins. “They are at Meishin subway station” is the only correct response. “How do you know that?” Teke-teke continues. “I heard about it from Reiko Kashima” Only by knowing the correct sequence of sentences can one avoid a sharp cut and… keep their legs.
Nure-Onna - Snake Woman
The legend describes a creature that’s part woman and part snake. In some stories about Nure-Onna, she holds an infant, using it as bait by pretending to be a lost mother.
When they spot a victim, they ask for help taking care of the child. The unsuspecting passerby picks up the bundle, but the child turns out to be a stone or a pile of leaves. Either way, the
bundle is so heavy that the victim cannot move, and that’s when the nure-onna strikes.
Aokigahara Japan's Suicide Forest
Let’s explore a mysterious place in Japan known as the Suicide Forest, or Aokigahara! This forest holds secrets and stories that make it a bit different from other places. Aokigahara is a place where many people choose to end their lives, more than in most other places. There are signs around the area that ask people to think again about what they want to do.
Aokigahara is a special place. It reminds us that taking care of our minds and getting help when we’re down is important.
Jorōgumo - Spider Woman
