In Japanese folklore, Noppera-bō are ghosts that look like humans but have no faces. They terrorize victims by appearing as someone familiar and then suddenly cause their features to vanish into a smooth plane of skinpic.twitter.com/KQN9IsMiwp

Huh. There's some folklore along the Carolina coast of a Grey Man who appears like this. Said to be an omen of hurricanes.

Wikipedia doesn't mention the facelessness, but I have a vivid memory of that from a book I read about him as a boy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gray_Man_(ghost) …

Yeah, I think I remember that one. I remember him being described as faceless too. It was one my Grannie told me, I think.

I wonder why Japanese Folklore is always so scary?

Possibly, the scarier the folklore the more close knit the community?

There was one of these things that haunted a theatre I once worked at. It would appear as someone familiar (who was actually proven NOT at work later), but when the witness would recall the memory, the face was blank.
