Kuchisake-Onna

I think they're coming from my kitchen.

Kuchisake-onna.

What?

The slit mouth woman.

In fact, there are monsters with a bit of a sweet tooth who seem to show up all over the world.

Take, for example, the Kuchisake-onna, another example from Japan.

At first, she may look like an ordinary woman.

That is, until you see the massive bleeding gash in the place of her mouth.

A grin rictus, if you will.

Oy vey, the Kuchisake-onna.

I've got other shit to do.

I don't have time for this yokai crap.

Do you think I'm beautiful

beautifulI'd be remiss in my job as a paranormal researcher if I didn't give my audience some background here.

Kuchisake-onna is one of Japan's many malevolent ghosts, or as your friends who refuse to watch dubbed anime call them, onryo.

She's that fun kind of Bloody Mary type, a real piece of work.

Please.

Have you ever heard of Kuchisake Onna? What? Kuchisake Onna, the slit-mouthed woman.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

And you're three seconds before I'm calling the cops.
