Nukekubi are women yōkai whose entire heads, and souls, detach from their bodies at night to hunt and prey on blood. Their heads can either detach completely or remain attached by a string-like neck. (The Book of Yokai). They are a variation of the Rokurokubi yōkai. (Wikipedia) Nukekubi are ordinary women by day but bloodthirsty hunters at night, all without their knowledge. Their methods of hunting include sucking on their victims blood or biting them.(Yokai.com) The curse of Nukekubi is often spread from mothers to daughters, and there is no certain cure. (Yokai.com) Stories of the Nukekubi appear as early as the Heian period. (The Book of Yokai).
