Hands down, one of the scariest stories I heard while I was living in Japan was an urban myth about a woman named "Kuchi Sake Onna".
Legend has it that one night she was attacked on the streets by a man who cut the sides of her face. Now she roams the streets at night covering her scars and approaching people to ask if they think she's pretty. After they agree she reveals her face and asks if they think she's pretty still. If they run or scream she pulls out her knife and cuts their face as well. Scary right? Right!
It was a perspective assignment for school so that explains the random building in the background.
