asia haunted ghost stories

The story of the Kuchisake - Onna from Japan is quite terrifying. She is a female ghost with a slit mouth. Legend has it that she asks people if they think she is pretty. If you answer no, she will kill you. If you answer yes, she will slit your mouth to make it like hers. It's a very creepy concept that has been the basis for many horror movies and stories in Japan.

The idea of vengeance is also a very frightening element. Like in the Chinese 'Jiangshi' stories.

They will hunt down those who wronged them or just anyone in their path, which is really spooky.

In Korea, there is the story of the 'Gumiho'. A gumiho is a nine - tailed fox that can transform into a beautiful woman. It lures men and then devours their livers or souls.

There was a teacher who worked at a boarding school. He claimed that every night, he saw the figure of a former headmaster in the hallway.

It's hard to say for sure. Some people believe they are real because of their own personal experiences or the accounts of others they trust. For example, when multiple guests in a hotel report the same strange sightings or feelings, it makes it seem more believable.
