1. ASWANG - The aswang is a shapeshifting Filipino vampire that sucks the blood of unborn infants. At night, she ditches her legs in the tall grasses of a rice field, and she flies around with her guts hangin’ out, hunting for pregnant women and stray children. 

 

2. RED MASK - The Red Mask (bbal gan ma su ku) is a Korean urban legend which finds its origins in 1970s Japan. She wears a blood-soaked surgical mask and she carries a knife. She approaches people to ask, “Am I pretty?” If you say yes, she’ll kill you, and if you say no, she’ll take off her mask and show you her horrific Glasgow smile, the result of a cosmetic surgery procedure gone terribly wrong. She asks again, “Am I pretty?” If you say yes, she’ll cut up your face; if you say no, she’ll follow you home and THEN cut up your face, and if you say, “You look normal,” she’ll grow confused and wander away.

 

3. KUMIHO - Also known as the kitsune (Japan) and huli jing (China), the Kumiho is a shapeshifting nine-tailed fox in the Korean tradition. She frequently transforms into a young beautiful maiden, who then seduces a man in order to eat his liver. Sometimes she noshes on his heart too.

 

4. KWISHIN - The Kwishin is that familiar Korean ghost characterized by a white face, long black hair, and the white burial hanbok. She has suffered some form of unjust death, and so cannot pass over to the afterlife until she has righted the wrong or performed an act of revenge. Koreans say that sleep paralysis is caused by a kwishin sitting on top of the sleeper’s chest and arms.

 

5. MINGHUN - Minghun, or the Chinese ghost marriage, is a wedding ceremony performed for a deceased single man, so that he has a wife in the afterlife. This can sometimes mean that a recently deceased single woman is located, married to the dead man, and then buried with him.
