Japanese Cryptic: Mirror

Translated from Japanese by Shishou(師匠)

Cryptic Story

"Going to go to the restroom to relieve myself."

"Okay, just be quick!"

Today, I'm on a shopping trip with my friend. While we were checking out the book-store, I had this sudden urge to relieve myself.

I make a run for the restroom and quickly relieve myself.

"Ahhhhh. Feels refreshing."

"Now, I got to wash my hands."

"Huh? Did this door exist before?"

I reach for that door with my hand.

*THUD*

My hand gets stopped by an invisible barrier.

"Oh! It's just a reflection in the mirror."

Japanese Ghost Story : The Girl On The Swing

Translated from Japanese by Shishou(師匠)

Ghost Story

 

This incident dates back to the time when I was still studying in a middle school. During those days, my friend-circle consisted of 2 people, whom I will call A-kun and B-kun in this story.

I was friends with A-kun and B-kun since the time when we were in elementary school. Moreover, our homes were very close to each other's and this allowed us to meet every day after school.

Near to our houses was a hill that we would visit frequently. In other words, it was our meeting ground where we would hold our frivolous conversations till late night. The best thing about this was that we had permissions from our parents so staying on the hill till mid-night was not a problem for us.

It was like any other night when I was chattering with my friend A-kun on the top of the hill. Our other friend, B-kun, hadn't come yet. Even after a few hours, he was nowhere in sight. So, I said to A-kun, "Hey! B-kun is not here yet. Shall we go to his house and see what's the matter?" And so we both descended the hill and walked in direction of B-kun's house.

There was a playground of sorts that wee needed to cross before reaching B-kun's house. So, as we were crossing the playground, I caught something in my peripheral vision. On the swing, a little girl wearing all white was swinging back and forth. It was almost midnight and I was sure terrified by the presence of that girl. I turned to A-kun and spoke, "Did you just see that???" A-kun turned towards the swing to see why I was so scared.
"WHAAAAAA..." A-kun shrieked. We both immediately turned back and ran towards the hill.

When we arrived on the hill, we sat down to control the shivering of our bodies. We tried to rack our brains to give a logical justification to what we saw in the playground.

A few minutes must have passed when we saw B-kun approaching us from the dark.
"Hey, B-kun! Didn't you just come from the direction of the playground? Did you see a little girl on the swing?"
"No, I saw nothing like that"
"We definitely saw her, right, A-kun?"

To remove our all doubts, all three of us went back to the park. There on the swing, we saw her. The girl was still there. Immediately, we ran back to the hill.

"So, we were right. B-kun, did you see her this time?"
"Yes. I believe you. She was smiling."
"I didn't look at her face. I was damn terrified."
"Same goes for me. I, too, didn't have the courage to look at her face"

The very next day, B-kun lost his life when he was run over by a truck. Could it not be possible that the girl was a shinigami and her smile was more of a gateway to death. In our group, only B-kun saw her smile and was thus taken to the afterlife by her.

Japanese Urban Legend: Headless Rider

Translated from Japanese by Shishou(師匠)

 

Urban Legend

This is the story of a couple who arrived at an old building that was rumored to be rife with supernatural activities. They searched the place for an hour or so but couldn't find or feel anything that they could call 'paranormal'. Dejected and Disappointed, they returned to their car, started it, and headed back towards their home.

"Tch...nothing happened..."
"Yeah...It was boring."

They chatted such useless things while riding the car back. At this point, the boyfriend, who was driving the car, was blinded by a beam of light from an oncoming vehicle. From the looks, it seemed like a motorbike. As soon as they passed the bike, the boyfriend hit the gas pedal hard and sped up the car.

Japanese Ghost Story : That Rainy Day

Translated from Japanese by Shishou(師匠)

 

Ghost Story

The story, which I'm about to tell you, was narrated to me by my friend T-san. Now, this creepy experience happened to him around 10-years ago or so, and he swears that it was something he experienced personally, and so I don't doubt him.

As T-san narrates, he was in his car that ominous day. He had been to his friend's house and was now driving back to his own house. The timing must have been somewhere around 4 in the afternoon.

After a few hours of driving, he felt something was off. He could hear the sounds of water-droplets hitting his car's body. But it wasn't the sound of rain that startled him, rather, he was vexed because the weather outside...was clear as a day! Then, where was this rain-droplets sound coming from?

T-san, as he recalls, said that he was still driving at this point. He was trying to come to terms with this perplexing phenomenon...when suddenly, his car hit something. A huge thud resounded inside the car. He felt a chill run over his body...an eerie chill.

Whatever it was that had hit the car was not visible to T-san. He, however, felt the presence of something sinister on his car's hood. He described the presence as something that was out of this world---something supernatural. His hands were trembling as he continued driving towards his destination.

T-san sped up his car in the hope that the 'entity' would fall due to the higher speed of the car. While speeding, he was shouting at the top of his voice. "GO AWAY FROM ME!" his trembling mouth belched out the words. The rain could still be heard.

T-san was going at an insane speed. The traffic light in front of him turned red. Since the transition of the light was so sudden, he had to brake hard. As soon as he braked his car, there was a sound of something falling over to the ground. With that sound, the presence of the entity was no more. Also, T-san could not hear even the rain-droplets. 

Paralyzed by fear, T-san somehow reached his home. T-san, who now wanted to know the explanation of what he experienced, called his psychic-friend and narrated the whole incident.

The psychic-friend revealed to him that one year ago there was an accident at the spot where T-san felt the entity on his hood of the car. On that day, it was raining heavily. An old-woman was crossing the street when a car came and hit her with full force. Now, since the woman had a small body, her body got stuck on the hood of the car. Her body was stuck in that position until the car made a stop at a red light, and with the stoppage of the car, her body tumbled to the ground. She was dead. T-san was overcome with grief after hearing this. 

When I head this story from T-san, I was ambivalent. I didn't know whether to be scared or to feel sorry for the old woman. What makes some souls enter nirvana? What turns some souls into vengeful spirits? I had no answer.

It seems that entering nirvana upon death is not an easy thing to do, is it?

Japanese Cryptic: Death

 Translated from Japanese by Shishou(師匠) 

Cryptic Story

This story is about a man.

That man had an enemy whom he wanted to kill desperately.

However, the man didn't have the courage to kill someone himself, so he searched for different methods. One day, he found a black-magic book.

In the book was the ritual to summon a Shinigami.

He recited the incantations.

The Shinigami presented itself before the man.

Shinigami : "I'm the god-of-death! Whatever you wish I'll make it true."

Man : "I want to kill a person."

Shinigami : "No big task for me. However, in return, I want your life."

The man didn't fear death. He replied firmly.

Man : "Certainly."

Shinigami : "Very well. Then I shall grant your wish."

Shinigami disappeared after that.

A few days later, the man's enemy died.

The man, however, lived on.

Japanese Cryptic: The Message

Translated from Japanese by Shishou(師匠) 

Cryptic Story

John went to a hospital to see his friend Harris who was hospitalized.

"Harris, how are you? Is your condition improving."

"M---o---"

Harris couldn't speak. His body was connected to a lot of tubes.

"Not feeling good? If you want to give any message to your son, write in this paper. I'll hand it over to him."

"M---o---"

"HARRIS. What's going on!"

He wrote something hastily before succumbing to death.

Next day, John went to meet Harris' son.

"Harris passed away...He left a note for you."

John handed the paper to him.

In the paper it was written:

"Move away from my oxygen-tube!!"

Japanese Cryptic: Forest At Night

Translated from Japanese by Shishou(師匠)

Cryptic Story

 

I went to a forest with two people.

It was midnight, so the forest engulfed with darkness.

I wouldn't be surprised if a ghost or two attacked me.

I'm a tough-guy but still I don't want to meet any ghosts here.

Suddenly, one of my friend disappeared.

The other friend ran away.

But he also disappeared.

I too started running.
