About this listen

Have you ever walked home alone at night… and felt someone watching you?

The street is empty. The air is still. But then… footsteps. Slow. Deliberate. Following you.

You turn...and there she is.

A woman wearing a long coat. Her face hidden behind a surgical mask. At first, she looks harmless… almost ordinary.

Until she tilts her head and asks, “Watashi… kirei?” - “Am I beautiful?”

Your answer doesn’t matter. Because once she removes the mask… You will understand why they call her…The Slit-Mouthed Woman.

Tonight, for our Halloween Spooky Special, we’re diving into one of Japan’s most terrifying urban legends, Kuchisake-onna. A spirit who stalks the streets. A question you cannot answer. And a fate you cannot escape.

Turn off the lights. Stay very, very still. Because she might be right behind you…
