Not so much a ghost story as an urban legend little kids tell other little kids to scare them, Kuchisake Onna is one bad lady. Of course, when I was in Japan it was winter and about 10th person was wearing a surgical mask, so you’d never know it was her until it was too late.
One evening, a girl met a woman who had a red coat and a big white mask on her mouth on her way home from school. The woman asked “Do you think I’m beautiful?” The girl could not see clearly the woman’s face because of her mask. However, the girl thought that the woman was quite beautiful. The girl answered obediently “Yes, you are beautiful.” Suddenly, the woman asked again “Am I really beautiful?” while taking off the mask. The woman’s mouth split open to her ear. The girl ran out of fear and escaped from the area. However, the woman pursued the girl with terrible speed. The woman caught up with the girl easily. The woman said “I want to do for you what was done to my face.” The woman had a big sickle hidden. Then, the woman split the girl’s mouth with the sickle…

She was most active in 1979 from spring to summer. Her name was very famous around Japan just only for that term. It seems that mistake was made when she was in surgery. That is to say, she was a real person. However, she suffered abnormal conditions in her soul from the shock when her mouth split, and people did not know why she came to attack children.
She stood in the shadow of a telegraph pole in the evening. Then, she asked “Am I beautiful?” when children passed in the area. If you answered “yes”, she would take off the mask, and ask again. However, if you answered “no”, she also took off the mask, and she said “I want to do for you what was done to my face.” After all, you could not be safe whether you answered good or bad. Then, she pursued with terrible speed the children.
According to a report, seemingly, she could run 100m in only 3 seconds. They could not run away. She instantly caught them and she split them with a sickle, kitchen knife or razor.
To tell the truth, she did not have unusual attributes. It was only a simple story about an unusual person who attacked a child.
Where did she hide the sickle? Presumably the same place Immortals keep their swords…
