Kuchisake-onna (口裂け女) - The Slit-Mouthed Woman
In this episode, we delve into the chilling Japanese urban legend of Kuchisake-ona. We explore the origins of this tale, which tells of a vengeful spirit who approaches individuals, particularly children, asking, "Am I pretty?" Depending on the response, the encounter can lead to dire consequences. This episode also examines various aspects of the legend, including its historical roots, cultural significance, and the widespread panic it incited in Japan during the late 1970s. Get ready for some scares and a little history all at the same time!
