Kuchisake-onna, the Slit-Mouthed Woman of Japanese Folklore
You've been out with friends at a restaurant. It's dark out, and this afternoon's sudden rainstorm left the pavement with an earthy smell. Small patches of weeds poke through the still wet cracks in the sidewalk. Overhead, an orange streetlight buzzes and flickers. You spot a woman in a white dress up ahead, sitting on a bus stop bench. She has her head down, her long dark hair falling over her face.

The Vrykolakas of Greek Folklore
I know what you're thinking: "I don't know how to pronounce that." Unless, of course, you speak Greek or perhaps a Slavic language that has a similar word. Don't go look it up because you're likely to run into this, which is an absolute nightmare of robotic voice pronunciation destruction.

AN OLD HUG LURKING IN THE WOODS
This story was about me and my friend's camping in the woods that make us a believer about the urban legend, folkloric creature living and lurking in the woods. It is about our childhood on how we saw an old hug at night. The unforgettable night that made the unverified existence of such creatures become even more intriguing.

The cursed apartment: these horrors happened on Christmas Day
This story happened to my friend, currently with my godmother. As it often happens, she got married early because she got pregnant early. After the birth of their daughter, she and her husband decided to live separately from their parents, renting an apartment. They have been looking for a cheaper option for a long time. They found an apartment for rent almost for nothing, fully furnished, since the former tenants usually moved out and did not take it. They moved, started living.

Abandoned village
I love this village. I've been coming here every summer for almost twenty years. Everything is nearby here: forest, field, and river. The village is relatively large, three kilometers to the nearest village through forests and fields, and about fifteen kilometers to the highway. About three years ago, they began actively buying houses (what to do, people are getting old and dying) for suburban plots.

Strange elderly woman on the road
It happened to me personally in 2003. I live in London, have a family, a job. But I come from a small village, about fifty kilometers from the city. Now, of my relatives, we have only a grandmother who did not want to leave her native place. I visit her occasionally, mostly on some weekends. On that very day, it happened.
