EP 42 | Confusing Kuchisake-Onna 101
Kimmy Hammons  •  Aloreing Podcast Episode • 2/22/2023

Hey Campers, we got a terrifying Japanese Yokai for this week’s episode. We will be discussing the lore and urban legends surrounding Kuchisake-Onna. Both Kimmy and Ryan will discuss the thirsty artwork of the internet,how to give a backhanded compliment that confuses Kuchisake into not hurting you, and the power students had in Japan during the 80’s.  We hope you enjoy this episode of Aloreing, and remember campers if you run into her, say you’ve seen better and keep thirst trap illlustrations to the second page of google.
