Ghost Stories and Urban Legends

[Salsa]

I'm looking for modern ghost stories and urban legends from Japan. I've checked Shadowlands and Metropolis magazine as well as several blogs for stories, but still came up lacking. Does anyone have any modern ghost stories or urban legends to share?

I had a friend who mentioned a story about a girl named Hanako that died in the bathroom and would try to get other girls to come in and she would kill them. Something along those lines... I did a quick search on that and found this which is a movie based on it (or the story is based on the movie). I'm a bit unsure.

Thank you, Emoni! I've heard the Hanako story several times; it seems to be pretty widespread. (And it's the kind of thing that would have scared the pants off of me as a kid.)

So, everyone...any more modern ghost stories or urban legends from Japan?

Kuchisake-Onna
PLOT
The young woman who wore a mask asks a child of a school return.
"Am I pretty?"
I answer it that "you are pretty",
Then she says, and she takes off a mask.
"Even this?"
Then the mouth was split greatly to the ear.
When I answer it that "you are not pretty"
I am killed by her.
