So I'm going to be real, I haven't heard a great ghost story or a creepy urban legend in a while. There hasn't been one that has chilled me to my very core. I mean, it's just like "Oh okay." Maybe I haven't heard them in the right setting. With the lights off with only one light. In the middle of a place where my back is exposed. Even then I don't think I'd be scared. I've been watching too much Supernatural. I've figured out how to deal with all kinds of shit from that show. I don't know.
Anyway, I decided to do some searching and find some cool Korean ghost stories and urban legends, thought it would be a good idea after doing superstitions! None of them scared me though sadly, if anything they were just interesting! Let's see where should I start?
How about here!
#1 Sesame Seed Bath Okay this one was just really gross to me, and I kind of ended up laughing, even though I shouldn't have because this was messed up. So apparently there was this young girl and she was obsessed with having beautiful and healthy skin. So she asked a healer or someone for a way to keep her looking beautiful forever and they suggested sesame seeds in her bath water and to rub them on her skin and soak in the tub. She was in there for a long time and so her mother started to get worried. She knocked on the door twice but there was no answer from her daughter so she opened the door. In there she found her daughter with sesame seeds stuck in her pores and her trying to take them out with toothpicks.
Isn't this just gross? I broke it down like well the bath was hot, her pores opened up and boom they got stuck and then they closed. It's grossss.
#2 Roach Mask This one is worse than the first one. So, there was this man who had horrible acne he had tried everything to get rid of it and one day while surfing the net, he find and article that gave a cure. It was a roach face mask. All he needed was a cockroach and so that night, after having read the instructions, the man put the roach on his pillow. When he woke up, he was happy to find the roach AND his acne gone. He went to school all happy, but throughout the day had pains and itching in his face. So he went to the bathroom to look at it, and he found that the roach had laid eggs in his face.
This one was like 10 times worse. On a scale from 1-10 the sesame seeds were probably a 5 maybe 6 even, but this, this is a 9. What makes it worse is that everyone can get pimples and acne is common and roaches are freaking gross man. BUGS IN YOUR FACE!
#3 Red Surgical Mask/ Slit Mouthed Ghost I really like this one. I actually first heard it by one of my Japanese friends, because they have the same kind of ghost there too. I was just like, she must be teleporting or something because how does Japan and Korea have the same ghost. I know the countries are close, but still!
You probably know the story, so at night if people are walking by their lonesome they will be stopped by a woman in a red surgical mask. The woman is often described as pale skinned tall and with really long black hair that covers her face. She normally asks them if they think she is pretty. If they say no she kills them with a scalpel, but if they say yes, then she removes the surgical mask to reveal her horrible face. Her mouth that has slits from ear to ear showing all her gums and teeth, and she will ask them again if they think she is pretty. If they say no, she will cut them in half, but if they reply yes again, then she will cut their face just like hers. Mwhahahahaaa!
#4 Harvesting Organs There was once a KakaoTalk that had circulated talking about organ harvesting. It was about a drunk man who took a ride in a cab, and he was stabbed in the neck with a needle. Later he woke up by himself in a field bleeding from his stomach. He went to the hospital later to find out that one of his kidneys had been stolen from him.
This is actually a really big problem in Korea apparently organ trafficking and people selling them because they are in tremendous debt. I mean granted it's a quick way of making money, but it's a horrible idea to sell your organs pals. I won't do it.
#5 Bongcheon Dong Ghost I read this comic nearly peed myself. I has jump scares. Not cool man. Not cool. Anyway, this story is actually based off real life events. There were this woman, everyone only know her sir name Cho, anyway she got divorced and in the settlement she lost everything including her two year old daughter. He took the girl with him. (She was having an affair). Anyway, in 2007, she jumped from the top of her apartment complex and died on impact. People said they would see her walking around the complex asking for her daughter.

Ghost stories are lame but, I hope you all can go to sleep tonight!
