Japanese, Urban legends, are the scariest legends for me. They are so scary, the drawing and how they make them In Life

[PaigeBevis]

For the Slit-mouth woman other ways to escape her are
-ask her if you are pretty, She will get confused and leave
-say you have to meet up with your husband/your wife and she will excuse herself and leave
-throw fruit or candy at her feet, which she will pick up, giving the victim a chance to run (don't understand how this would work but that was what I heard was a possibility from escaping from her)

Me: I should be worried.
