When rumors of alleged sightings began spreading in 1979 around theNagasaki Prefecture , it spread throughout Japan and caused panic in many towns. There are even reports of schools allowing children to go home only in groups escorted by teachers for safety,[1] and of police increasing their patrols. Recent sightings include many reports in South Korea in the year 2004 about a woman wearing a red mask who was frequently seen chasing children, and in October 2007, a coroner found some old records from the late 1970s about a woman who was chasing little children. She was then hit by a car, and died shortly after. Her mouth was ripped from ear to ear.[2] Although some stories describe her as a former patient of a mental asylum, the more common story describes that her husband found out that she was cheating and used a sword to cut her mouth from ear to ear and shouted "Who will think you are beautiful now?"
