Kashima Reiko

Kashima Reiko is a Japanese urban legend about the ghost of a woman with no legs who haunts school bathrooms. Warning: They say that after you hear the story of Kashima Reiko, she will appear to you within a month. If you don’t want to see her, don’t read this.

Kashima Reiko

Kashima Reiko is the ghost of a woman who lived in the city of Hokkaido, in Japan. One night, she was attacked by a group of men. The beat her badly, abused her horribly and then left her for dead.

She tried to call for help but nobody heard her. She tried to find someone to help her, but she crawled onto a railway track and collapsed, unconcious. The train came along and ran her over, killing her and cutting her in two. Her body was severed at the waist.

Ever since then, Kashima Reiko’s vengeful ghost has wandered the world, searching for her missing legs. She is mainly encountered in school bathrooms, but also may appear in your bathroom at home in the middle of the night.

When you enter the bathroom, she will ask you questions. If you cannot answer her questions correctly, she will tear off your legs.

If she asks “Where are my legs?”, the answer is “On the Meishin Expressway.”

She will say “Who told you that?” You should reply “Kashima Reiko told me that.”

Sometimes she asks a trick question, “Do you know my name?” Do not say “Kashima” or she will kill you. The correct answer is “Mask Death Demon”. Ka-Shi-ma stands for Ka = Kamen (Mask), Shi = Shinin (dead person), Ma = Ma (Demon).

It is said that after you hear the story of Kashima Reiko, she will appear to you within a month.

  • Guys, you are all safe! I read this on Halloween 2015 and it is now April 2016. I have never seen this woman in my life! No need to thank me ;-)

  • She haunts SCHOOL BATHROOMS – so unless you are in a school bathroom at 3am, you are unlikely to see her.

  • in the midle of the night:

    me:*gets up* *yawns* man..i really need to pee.*walks up to the bathroom**pulls down pjs*

    kashima: where are my legs?

    me:*picks up a broom* get outta here you perv cant someone pee in peace?

    kashima: all right all right dont take it personally….im going….but i need my legs!

  • I didn’t read this story. Whether I believe it or not, I don’t need anymore ghosts, especially one that is going to hang around my bathroom. They already cause enough trouble in the spare room!

  • Ok so this is super untrue, its just another wives tale because I read this last year and its waaaaaay past two months and I still haven’t seen this hoe

  • Why do these Japanese ghosts love bathrooms so much?!?!? And I’m scared because I use the bathroom at midnight, and idk the answers :(

  • HA HA ! IT SAYS IF U HEAR THIS SHE WILL APPEAR 2 U WITHIN A MONTH BUT WE ARE ALL READING THIS SO SHE WON’T APPEAR 2 US!
    SORRY I HAVE 2 WRITE IN CAPS 4 THE REST OF THE DAY NOW COZ MY SIS DARED ME!
    7/10 KASHIMA-REIKOS

  • OMG , am scared because I’ve read this, well have to memorize guys , the answers , and why each and every Japanese legends have a link to bathrooms , I mean seriously , and @musicismyeverything , lol , hahaha , can’t stop laughing on your comment , and guys one ting I’ve read about the cow head story , and got the story in the comment section by a user , am scared is it real ?

  • I agree with blooderella.
    I told a friend the story of teke-teke and told she will come within 1 month. She told me that”you want to kill me as i told her toremember ” purple mirror” and the story. But she dosent know i m too scared to death bcoz of her and i dont want to spread the story. XP

    Btw is the story of purple mirror true?

  • Ok, so a lot of you say it’s not real, but my friend told me that it has to be read to you. I believe that this is bs regardless, though. It says if you answer wrong, you die. How would anyone know that? They would have had to answer it wrong to put that there. Also, where in the bathroom? Does she crawl out of a toilet? Because I don’t wanna be on the crapper while she’s crawling out. XD Also, what happens if I’m asleep when she comes? Does she stare at me? Will she give me a time limit on each question or can I look them up on my phone? Does she only come once? So many questions, only three answers. On the tracks, Kashima Reiko told me, and Mask Death Demon. Good luck to those who have friends to read it to them.

  • just wondering why bathroom? i mean like she died on a railroad track and was she beat up and abused in a bathroom?

  • What’s with Japanese and Washrooms? And what if I reply to her with the correct answers? Will she leave me alone then??

  • Guys plz don’t worry. It’s a good story, but the you-will-die thing is bs. Plz feel free to still go to the toilet. And y do Japanese legends love bathrooms?! Everybody plz feel free to still go to the bathroom. If u don’t, u will ACTUALLY die. No kiddin’. And what’s with the Japanese horror stories with bathrooms?!

  • This is so not frickin’ true. I read this, like, six months ago. And by the way: Hokkaido is an island, not a city. So ha.

  • hey, has ANYONE thought about how SOMEBODY had to read this story and post it here??? i think he/ she is still alive. but who knows they might have died. anyways, im still waiting Kashima Reiko to rip my legs off :D well this is going to b jolly!! :DD

  • Ok…I’m 11 yo and I don’t really want her to come visit me, so as soon as I saw the pic (it didn’t scare me, just don’t like the look of it) and read the warning, I just skipped to the comments – without reading the story – to see if it was real or not… CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME SO I CAN READ THE STORY!!??? I’m not scared of chainmail, but this just scares me since it is an urban legend…thx!

  • I never use school bathrooms. I really want to tell you the legend about my school’s bathroom, but that would be spamming :(

  • I read this and nearly shizzled my pants I even got a pic of a cross and put it as my wallpaper and I have about 50 crosses in my room just to be sure and to make it worse in home alone so I’m cluching a cross and lit a holy candle and have a holy bible and recited all the holy prayers I know all while sitting beside the holy candle, the holy bible, the cross around my neck and have my hand together and everytime I hear a noise I bless myself and recite hail Mary 😌🙏👏 wish me luck it works !!

  • This story freaked me out at first but it isn’t true! Guys come on it is labled under Urban Legends sfk I still love your stories I just didn’t see the warning the top!
