They was an alone-living woman who had been having a stalker problem. She used to find her garbage scattered. The neighbors used to see a man always standing in front of her house.  But the thing that worried her most was the silent telephone call  that she had to deal with everyday.


One day, when she was at the limit of her patience, she picked up the silent telephone call and said angrily, "Cut it out! You sick person! I'll call the police!"
After a little while, somebody replied, "I'll kill you.", in a low voice. She got scared and hanged the phone hurriedly. Filled with fear, she called the police immediately. The detective heard her story and told her that he'll trace the phone call. He also told her that he'll come to her immediately if something happens. After that the detective went home.

There is a certain place in the northern part of Belgium that's knows as "spirited away forest". Those who go in there become 'spirited away'*, and disappear from this world. The local people are scared of it and don't go near it.

This is about a group of  University students from Japan who went inside that forest for fun.

When they(5 people) came out, they started counting each other mutually, just to be sure. They got relieved when they found that no one had disappeared.

Some days later, when they were packing their luggage to return to Japan, they found an unknown "Made in Japan" bag. They wondered whom did it belong to?

Japanese Urban Legend: Green face

Translated from Japanese by Shishou(師匠)

 

Urban Legend

Do you know about the "green face"?

It's a famous urban legend in the area where I live.

It's a story about a "green face" that peeks from bathroom's window when you're taking a bath.

I know it's an usual absurd story.

Again, there are people who claim to have seen it and made it out safely. They say that there is a way to protect yourself from it. No matter how scared you are, you must never look away from it. You have to keep staring at it. Of course, you can blink but it must remain in your sight.

Japanese Cryptic: Television

 Translated from Japanese by Shishou(師匠)

Cryptic Story

 

After getting out of the bath, I think of drying my hair while watching TV. 

So I go the room and switch on the TV. But suddenly a close-up of creepy woman's face appears on the screen. I wonder if it's a special episode of Kowai Hanashi* . 

The colors looks odd, but I can't help as I bought it cheaply from a Recycle-Shop. I turn on the hair dryer while thinking about it, but all of the sudden there is a blackout. 

Without lights it looks very dark.
Without electricity it's unreasonable to use the dryer, so I go to replace the breaker while using the light from the TV as a guide. 

When I reach there I found that in fact the breaker has tripped.
