Kuchisake-onna

-

The meaning of Kuchisake-onna would be something like "woman with the cut mouth," and its origin is not entirely clear since, on the one hand, they tell us about the story of a woman who was savagely mutilated by her husband once he returned. in the form of an evil spirit, but there is another version of a woman who was found with said cut after a car accident.

Legend has it that this woman usually appears with a surgical mask, which is normal for the Japanese who seek to take care of colds or illnesses. Its victims are mainly children, and if you find it, it will stop you and ask you if it is beautiful. If you answer no, it will cut your head off with scissors, but if you answer yes, it will remove its mask showing its cut mouth and return to ask if she is beautiful. If this time you answer no, she will cut you in half, but if you answer yes, she will be happy and cut your mouth from ear to ear, leaving you like her.

It is impossible to run and escape, as if you try, she will reappear in front of you and won't leave until you answer her question. Such has been the fear of this legend that several schools have their teachers accompany the students to their homes so that they arrive safely.

 

  • Spanish Version


El significado de Kuchisake-onna sería algo así como "mujer de la boca cortada" y su origen no es del todo claro, ya que por un lado nos hablan de la historia de una mujer que fue mutilada salvajemente por su marido una vez que regresó en forma de espíritu maligno, pero hay otra versión de una mujer que fue encontrada con dicha cortada después de un accidente automovilístico.

La leyenda cuenta que esta mujer suele aparecerse con una mascarilla quirúrgica, lo que es normal en los japoneses que buscan cuidarse de resfriados o enfermedades. Sus víctimas son principalmente niños y si la llegases a encontrar te detendrá y te preguntará si es bella, si respondes que no, te cortará la cabeza con unas tijeras, pero si respondes que sí, se quitará la mascara mostrando su boca cortada y volverá a preguntar si es bella, si en esta ocasión respondes que no, te cortará a la mitad, pero si respondes que sí, se alegrará y te cortará la boca de oreja a oreja dejándote como ella.

Es imposible correr y escaparse ya que si lo intentas ella reaparecerá frente a ti y no se irá hasta que contestes a su pregunta. Tal ha sido el miedo por esta leyenda que varios colegios hacen que sus profesores acompañen a los alumnos a sus casas para que lleguen seguros.

    Interesting, this legend actually scared me because if she came to appreciate me I wouldn't know what to do or if she were to cut my face

The ghost waiter

 No, it is not about a cocky bartender qui hesitates quand you ask for a beer - there are, but luckily those are more laughable than scary. Everyone knows someone qui, while traveling, went to have a drink in a lonely bar in the town where he s'était trouvé. To pass the time and disconnect after many hours behind the wheel, the driver consumes several gin & tonics in lively conversation with the waiter.  According to legend, the stranger returns the next day and meets another bartender.  When asking about his partner, if he is free that day, he finds out to his astonishment that the establishment had been closed the night before.  Right now we are all visualizing a roadside bar near a dusty motel on Route 66, but the fact is that this legend also has its Celtiberian version.  I heard it recently, from a friend quise father était an air commander et avait spent du temps at the Los Llanos Air Base in Albacete. When he returned to that base six mois later for a...

The clown's smile

 A classic in Madrid's halls of residence that little by little spread to other Spanish university environments. The story goes that a young girl was waiting for the night bus at a bus stop in the Metropolitan area, the most important center of residences in the capital. The place is characterized by being surrounded by parks on the university campus, which in conjunction with the buildings of the empty faculties and the night, was undoubtedly a setting worthy of a horror movie. While the girl was waiting for her bus, a group of neo-Nazi-looking boys arrived in the area and began to harass her. The situation ended with them "drawing" the so-called clown smile on her face so that she could not scream, because their macabre intention was to rape her. The said smile is nothing more than a cut on each side of the corner of the mouth that prevents the victim from screaming to avoid tearing herself even more. The facts could not be verified, but the rumors were so insistent tha...
