![]() ![]() One night, at a late hour, he was hurrying up the Kii-no-kuni-zaka, when he perceived a woman crouching by the moat, all alone, and weeping bitterly. The last man who saw the Mujina was an old merchant of the Kyobashi quarter, who died about thirty years ago. Going back to Lafcadio Hearn, the writer mentioned in my encyclopedia, I managed to find the original transcript of the Japanese story or legend about the Mujina, or faceless ghost. No one knows who she is or what she wants, but for those who visit the island of Oahu, it’s best not to go anywhere alone at night, lest she find you.” From Waikiki, to ‘Ewa beach, even in the boiler room of a Honolulu hospital, it seems the faceless woman is making her presence known all over the islands. “The ghost is seen all over the island of Oahu as well. Since its final closing in 1986, the area has become a favorite spot for ghost hunters, cautiously peeking into the women’s rest room for a chance to see the famous ghost.” There has been no explanation of where the ghostly woman and the fireballs come from, but it is noted that the theater is located next to a graveyard, which is famous for being saturated with the souls of the dead, even more so for Hawaii. Her boyfriend then saw her running out of the bathroom screaming, followed by a faceless woman with no legs.Ī group of friends gathering in the theater in 1965 encountered a large fireball that rose from the ground and circled the parking area several times before flying straight into the screen. “One encounter happened in 1965 when a young woman opened the door to one of the stalls to see a woman standing before her with no face hovering above the toilet. I found a more recent Hawaiian sighting on the Haunted Islands website: There are recent tales of her being spotted in a Waikiki hotel, shopping mall and college. In 1959 the faceless woman was said to have appeared at the Waialae Drive-In and a few years later in Oahu. Going back to my encyclopedia I read about a faceless ghost in Hawaii. But then I found that there are other places that tell of these same ghosts: In Hawaii for example. In his book Kwaidan published in 1904, Lafcadio Hearn, one of the first Westerners to study the folklore of Japan in depth documented ancient stories of the Mujina, faceless ghosts.”Īs there have been links between Japan and the Philippines – between 19 the Empire of Japan occupied the Commonwealth of the Philippines during World War II – I could see how the faceless ghost story could have travelled. “She appears in haunting legends all over the world, Her origins are unknown but may be Japanese. ![]() ![]() Typically she is young and slender and is first seen from behind. “A beautiful female ghost who is said to terrify all who see her because she has no face. So I had a look at a book I have The Element Encyclopedia of Ghosts & Hauntings. I was totally freaked out that I kind of passed out.” Sourceįaceless ghosts? “Whatever next,” I thought. “I saw the woman at our dining room near the refrigerator, and what shocked me the most was when I saw her floating above the ground. Then she disappeared, I felt relieved and when I went back to bed I fell asleep easily.” She was trying to get closer so I switched the lights on. I could not see her face because her hair was covering it. “I saw the woman standing in front of me. The one with the snappy name saw the ghost two more times. Then I looked at my sister and when I looked at where the woman was she was there no more.” I tried to look closer, the woman was still there, and wasn’t moving an inch. She told me that there was no woman, and I started to get scared. Then my sister asked me what was wrong and I asked her if she could see the woman. My sweat was so cold and I had goose bumps. I was not able to look at her face but I started to feel very strange. She looked about the age of 20 but not more than 30. I was helping her with her things when I saw this woman who was wearing a white dress. The first time I saw her was when we were moving our things inside the house. “Ever since we moved to another house I started to see this woman.
