Many of the world’s myths and legends sound like short stories of action, relationship, friendship and terror, in this last category it could be said that the country with the darkest legends in the world is the renowned Japan. Their hair-raising stories are supposedly real events, although many of the inhabitants say that they are undoubtedly true, to the point of not even playing with them, for fear of being visited by one of these foul spirits. If you are sensitive to terror, it is better that you are accompanied to learn about these three frightening legends.
Kuchisake-onna (slit mouth woman). Her origin is uncertain, since many say that this was a beautiful woman who was aggressively attacked and killed by her partner and returned in the form of an evil specter. Others that the woman was found with her face torn from her, after a traffic accident. Either theory is chilling.
Legend has it that this soul from the underworld appears above all to young people, wearing a surgical mask where she asks them “Am I pretty?” When answering that she is not her, she loses control, takes the victim and cuts his head off with scissors. In the case of answering yes, the woman will remove her mask to expose her horrible cut and ask again «Am I pretty?» and if the answer is no, she will cut the victim’s face in half, on the contrary, if the answer is yes, the ghost will be happy for her and will cut her mouth from side to side for being a liar.
aka cloak. If you ever visit Japan don’t spend too much time in the public baths, they are some of the scariest places of all. Aka mantle is a specter that only appears while the person is in the toilet, this ghost when appearing before its victim asks «Do you want red or blue toilet paper?» if he chooses red the specter will jump on top of the person and cut them with a knife until their entire clothes are covered in blood. In the case of choosing blue, he will strangle the victim until his face turns the same color. This ghost is not played with, since, by choosing a different color, it will take him to a dimension where he will turn his hostage into one like him.
teke teke. This popular legend says that a young student suffered a disturbing accident, she fell on the cold train tracks and was cut in half by the transport. She appears as a ghost without the lower half of her body, moving with her hands gives off the sound «Tek Tek» hence her name. This specter hides its lower part to draw the attention of its victims, since it is not ugly it is easy, after achieving its objective it jumps with one shot and moves at high speed to then cut its victim in half so that it is just like her , so as not to feel alone.
