If you meet a 10-foot-tall woman in a snow storm, run
Have you met the Yuki-onna? You might meet her in a snow storm, and recognize her by her pure white robe marked only with a splattering of blood and her lack of feet. She might kill you with icy breath, or lead you into the storm to die of exposure, or seduce you, only to steal your soul. She’s the subject of one of Japan’s better known ghost stories (the climax of which was depicted in Tanaka Tokuzo’s 1968 film Kaidan Yuki Onna) and has also made an appearance in Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams.
