asian Urban legends

Aka manto (red cape)

A woman enters a public bathroom, after clarifying that she is alone she enters the third stall. suddenly a man asks her if she wants the red paper or the blue paper. she smiles to her self thinking its some kind of joke and says "I'll have the red paper" a loud scream shatters the other wise empty bathroom.

The police are called in, when they arrive they find the woman has been sliced into long thin slices giving the appearance of red paper.

Legend:

Aka Manto was a a very handsome man, due to it he found himself not being able to live in peace and has somehow transformed into an evil ghost who prays on women. he wears a red cape and a mask to hide his beautiful face.

Why he kills is not clear, what is clear is that the legend goes that if you try to trick him, things will only get worse. for example if you say yellow paper you might be drowned on the toilet you just finished using, if you answer blue, you will be strangled until your face turns blue. some legends say that he drain your blood until you turn blue.

the only way to survive is to say "no paper" at which point he will leave you alone. you just better hope there is actually is toilet paper in the stall you are in to avoid other problems.

Teke-Teke

is actually a Japanese Urban legend

A young boy is walking home one night when he spots a young girl looking at him across a railway. she smiles at him asks him to come over. mesmerised by her face he does not realise her lower torso is missing until he is only a few a feet away from her. at which point she screams and with a hidden scythe cuts him in half.

Legend

Teke Teke is a legend about a girl who was playing on a railway track, an oncoming train cuts her in half. now a vengeful spirit she lurks the railways to try and find the bottom torso that belongs to her, if she can't find she will take yours.

another side of the story claims that the only way to avoid getting cut in half is to tell her that her legs are in Meishin railway if she asks how you know this, tell her Keshima Reiko told you.

Nopperabou (no face)

a lazy fisherman has decided to go fishing in a forbidden pond. his wife tells him not to do it, for the pond is by a cemetery. as he does not want to row for too long he decides to go anyway. on his way there he is met by a fisherman who warns him not to got here, the lazy fisherman laughs at him and keeps on going, when he gets there he encounters a beautiful girl who begs him not to fish there, he waves his hand, takes his fishing rig and begins to fish the young girl calls to him, and when he turns around she wipes her face off.

Horrified he runs home where his wife comes to him trying to comfort him, before wiping her own face off as well.

Legend.

Nopperabou are ghost that will always resemble people first before becoming a no face ghost, they are not harmful, they only mean to make you scared and teach you a lesson.
