Japanese Horror Legends (Part 2)

This is the second part of the Japanese Horror Legends!

The Fanatic of Hello Kitty

The legend tells that, not long ago there was a girl who loved Hello Kitty, she had the biggest collection about Hello Kitty in her bedroom. She was a shy girl and because of her hobby, she was victim of bullying. The girls bullied her and stole her things everyday. The girl got used to be bullied, thinking in her loved Hello Kitty. The leader of the group of girls noticed that she didn't do anything, she only saw them with her dead eyes. One day, the group of girls went to her house when the parents wasn't inside, and the girl innocently opened the door. When the group of girls was inside, they started to break all her things but the girl only continued seeing them with dead eyes and didn't do anything. The leader got frightened and said ''Do you know what Hello Kitty said?''

The girl didn't answer.

The leader continued ''She can't say anything... BECAUSE SHE HASN'T MOUTH!'' and she tore the girl's mouth with a knife, staining her sheets and the entire bedroom with blood.

The group of girls murdered her and burned her house.

The leader and the other girls started to notice that they couldn't open their mouths, little by little they saw how her mouth was disappearing, and they always had nightmares about the dead girls' eyes. In few time, they fell into an irreversible coma and they entered in a world full of Hello Kitty looking them with the dead eyes of the girl.

The Girl of the Hole

Like in many japanese legends, the malignant spirit attack people where they feel more protected, 

like their home. 

The girl of the hole is a malignant spirit who hides in the holes and the cracks of some japanese houses, waiting for someone that plays with her, but actually she wants to drag people to the underworld, something that she will do if you look her to the eyes. So, if you are in Japan and you hear strange noises behind the furnitures and the doors, don't do anything, because this evil girl will be probably waiting.

The Rokurokubi

The rokurokubi are women who have a curse, or a supernatural manifestation of their desires. They have the ability of lengthen their neck during the night while this person is asleep.

Not all the rokurokubi are evil. Some of them appreciate her diurnal life as humans, and her nature of Youkai torments them. Others don't remember and they think that they are normal people.

They do evil things while they're asleep. Although their bodies don't move, their necks grow and go through the house.

The head can move through the house, doing evil things like to absorb the life of the people and the animals, scare them or drink the lamps' oil 

Sometimes women have memories of what their heads see separately, in dreams they see strange angles of the room. The women who have this curse are unlucky in love, because they scare their husbands when they discover their nature during the night.

According to some legends, the rokurokubi are old and cursed humans because they had disobey the buddhist precepts, and the negative karma transform them in monsters. Other legends say that the stretching of the neck is the supernatural manifestation of their desires.

These criatures die if they don't return to their bodies before sunrise. So, a form of exterminate them is to destroy their bodies or to hide them, because they won't be able to find them.

Of course, there are a lot more legends, but these are the most known! Maybe in the future we will talk about the different Youkai... See you soon!
