10 (freaky) Japanese legends

Aka Manto

WTF kind in the legend, this one holds the top of the table. The "Red Cape" is an evil spirit haunting the toilet, which appears when you sit on the toilet when there is no paper. Yes yes, you read that right. In short, the Red Cape asks the question: "red paper or blue paper?". Considering that you are not already died of fear (or laughing) at the onset of this terrible spirit of toilet paper, know that whatever the answer, the choice will be fatal. Red, you will be cut into pieces, blue , you die strangled. An alternative version provides skinning (skin is torn from the body), or exsanguination (the body is drained of blood). It seems that some people have managed to escape the Red Cape by answering "no paper" or choosing another color.
