[caption id="attachment_1936" align="alignnone" width="300"] ImageSource: http://www.zen-pictures.net/db_titles/zmx/zmx03/sample/020_l.jpg[/caption] This is a story of Kuchisake Onna, also known as The slit faced woman. As the legend says, Onna was married to a mentally ill man, who used to abuse her in every possible manner. Unhappy with her marriage, she fell in love with another man and planned to divorse her psycho husband. One day, Onna decides to tell her husband about her decision. Upon hearing the news, enraged and furious, the man starts hitting the woman and ultimately, ties her to the wall. He then picks up a scissor lying nearby, cuts a slit on her mouth from ear to ear and asks her, "Who will find you pretty now?". He then stabs the woman repeatedly until she dies. Upon realising what he did, he then ends his own life. It is said that the spirit of the slit-mouthed woman still walks around, wearing a surgical mask, and asks people, "Am I pretty?". When replied positively, she rips off the surgical mask revealing her horrible wound, and asks the same question again, "Am I pretty now?". Anyone who no longer finds her pretty, is met by a tragic death from her hands. If you ever happen to see someone walking around wearing a surgical mask, RUN, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
