Akusara

Have you ever heard of Akusara?

Those who know of Kuchisake Onna and others should be afraid of her.

Akusara is over two metres tall with long hair, a red coat and a wide brimmed red hat. Her left arm is covered in scars. She has no eyes and her mouth has been cut from ear to ear. Nobody knows how she came about. It’s said she only appears before men she’s taken a liking to.

The most common stories told about her are that she peeks at people from over the top of a fence. If you’re unlucky enough to meet her you’re highly likely to face a deadly curse.

Does this story remind you of anyone?

That’s right, Hasshaku-sama.

Hasshaku-sama is one of the most well-known and terrifying monsters of the scary story world. At the end of the story the Jizo statues facing the hero’s house are destroyed.

Perhaps… just perhaps…
What if Hasshaku-sama broke free of the area she was trapped in and is traveling around Japan looking for men she likes in a slightly different form…

It’s possible she’ll appear before you too.

I’ll say it again. If Hasshaku-sama and Akusara take a liking to you it’s almost certain… you’ll suffer a deadly curse.
