A nopperabo is Japanese ghost concept. It is a faceless woman. Legend has it that when you see a nopperabo, death will follow you. You will die soon. A nopperabo is a woman who had a very deep grievance committed against her. 3nodding

They also have the red man in Japan. (You *do* learn things by watching movies. Ju-on.)
I'm not sure how much of any ghost story is true or how much is pure imagination. Of course, a strong enough belief that you're going to die can kill you.

I learned about the Nopperabo from an anime magazine. They did this feature on Japanese ghosts once, as a Halloween special. They have a rich folklore.

The_Lazarus Most ghosts seem to be girls. confused That's because women are scarier dead and men are scarier alive. mrgreen BTW, I got those facts about the Nopperabo from Questor.

Probably because in history many women have died for love in tragic ways, or by great pains, or unustly. Liek the whole witch trials...

Eirisse The_Lazarus Most ghosts seem to be girls. confused That's because women are scarier dead and men are scarier alive. mrgreen BTW, I got those facts about the Nopperabo from Questor. A-ha! I thought they sounded familiar! surprised But the Nopperabo stories that Questor published are obviously fakes. But still, pretty good. 3nodding

More than just women have been persecuted in trials against witchcraft... and really, most tragedies are made up, when you referr to tagic death of women. Tragedy does not descriminate in gender, I assure you.
