This week on Something Wicked, we take you on a midnighttour through the chilling world of Japanese urban legends — the kind of storiesthat stick in your head long after the lights go out. First stop: the eerie smile of Kuchisake-onna, theSlit-Mouthed Woman who might just be waiting on a dark street corner to ask youa deadly question. Then it’s off to the haunted school bathrooms of Hanako-san,the ghost girl who’ll answer if you dare to knock. We’ll crawl into the legendof Teke Teke, sprint past the Human-Faced Dog, descend into the cursed watersof Okiku’s Well, and log on to the infamous Red Room that comes for you onceyou click. Finally, we whisper the unnerving words of Tomino’s Hell, a cursedpoem that the internet swears you should never read aloud. Equal parts creepy and hilarious, this episode is packedwith dark history, internet folklore, and enough nightmare fuel to last theweek. Grab your headphones, turn the lights down, and remember: in Japan’sworld of urban legends, curiosity might just kill you. Support the show on Glow to keep the scares coming, and snagexclusive merch at our Bonfire store — perfect for warding off vengeful spirits(or just looking spooky as hell).
