The Cursed Kleenex Commercial (Japan)

In 1985, Japanese television viewers began complaining extensively about a Kleenex tissues commercial they found to be extremely unsettling. The commercial featured a strange and grumpy red demon child sitting on a bale of hay while a young woman attempted to cheer it up with a floating tissue, all to the tune of Jane and Barton’s 1983 song “It’s a Fine Day”.  Whether the campaign actually moved tissues in Japan is unknown. What is known is that it did move Japanese viewers to call for the commercial to be taken off of the air.
According to some, the curse of the Kleenex commercial began with the crew. The cameraman was said to have been burned to death in a bizarre sauna malfunction that sounds like it could have come from a FINAL DESTINATION film. Some have even said that by the time the commercial aired the entire crew was already dead, each one killed in a bizarre yet accidental manner.

Tomino’s Hell (Japan)

Another creepy tale from Japan and, like the Red Room, it involves a curse. The legend is about “Tomino’s Hell,” a poem in a book called The Heart is Like a Rolling Stone, written by Yomota Inuhiko. It is said that anyone who reads the poem aloud will be cursed to suffer just like Tomino. Some believed that the curse is only to suffer terrible accidents, while others say death will surely follow. Hardly anything is known how this particular urban legend sprouted from the darkest pits of Japanese imagination, but the mystery only adds more creep factor to the whole legend.

The poem itself is a horrible read. It conjures very dreadful and very graphic images that slowly shred apart the reader’s heart (unless, of course, the reader has no heart to begin with). If anyone wants to read the English version of the poem, you can read it here.

There are some foolhardy individuals who read the poem aloud and later claimed to have suffered no ill effects. However, there are those (and there are a lot of them,) who say otherwise. If someone reading this wants to tempt fate and try out if the curse is true or not, make sure to read it in the original Japanese and tell us how things work out afterwards. Best of luck!

Kiyotaki Tunnel

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE BY SIGNING UP HERE IT'S FREE!!!

This tunnel was built in 1927 and is haunted by workers who died there as slaves while building it. It has 444 meters (it is known that the number 4 is cursed for the Orientals, as the number 13 is for the westerners), however, its size may vary depending on whether you measured it in the morning or at night.

People report that ghosts can be seen in this tunnel at night. They can even get in the car and scare people, causing fatal accidents. There is also a mirror in the tunnel and if you look at it and see a ghost you will suffer a horrible death.

The Girl from the Gap

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE BY SIGNING UP HERE IT'S FREE!!!

Some Japanese homes have many gaps and cracks scattered around every room. And in these places lives an evil spirit in the form of a girl. She is among the furniture, the doors or drawers and is always looking for someone to play with.

If she finds you, she'll ask you to play hide-and-seek. If you accept the joke, the second time you look into the girl's eyes within a gap, you will be taken to another dimension (or to hell, since no one ever came back to report).

Hikiko-san

Everywhere you look now a days, you will see a sign against bullying and abuse. This is a good thing. We don't need another Hikiko-san roaming the world. Bullying and abuse are bad enough without that.

Hikiko-san is a young girl. She gets beaten by her parents at home, causing her to be slightly deformed. This deformity causes Hikiko-san to be bullied by her classmates. One day, it all became too much for her and she committed suicide, though some say she was killed by her father. Either way, the girl comes back as a human hating spirit.

It is said that one of the boys from Hikiko's class saw her spirit after her death. She was dragging the lifeless body of one of her tormentors behind her. When he told the police about it, Hikiko-san killed him that same night.


Another story goes that she would attack entire school, decapitating people or pulling off their limbs. She would drag the bodies or limbs behind her, covering the walls and floor in blood. Anyone unfortunate to enter the building during one of these attacks becomes one of the dead. Afterwards, the school would be shut down and abandoned.

Because Hikiko-san is recognized for her long black hair that often hangs in front of her face, she became the inspiration for Samara (Sadako Yamamura) in the Ring trilogy. (The Ring, The Ring Two, and The Rings)

The Suicide Portrait

A few years back, an internet rumor surfaced about the suicide of a young Japanese girl. Shortly before killing herself, the teen had drawn a self-portrait, which she then posted online. Curious to see this slice of suicide memorabilia, a number of Korean forums picked up the image and began re-posting it. That’s where things got weird.

Users had a hard time looking away from this melancholy picture. Some began re-posting it time and time again, saying that its eyes were drawing them in. Others noticed that if you stared at the picture for any length of time, it began to alter subtly—the faintest trace of a smile surfacing around the dead girl’s mouth. Yet others reported feelings of intense sadness after seeing it. It’s said that one or two even killed themselves.

It’s now thought that anyone who spends too long looking at the image runs the risk of falling into this same deadly obsession. At least it would be, if the original artist hadn’t found out about this rumor and posted a fed-up message on his website, debunking the whole thing. Still, you’ll forgive us if we decline to spend too long looking into those creepy eyes.

Teke Teke

According to some old story, a young schoolgirl was cut in half by an oncoming train after she had fallen in the tracks. Now she wanders around with a scythe, “dropping in” on unsuspecting victims and cuts them in half so that she’s not alone.

There’s a version of this story that I heard a long time ago:

There was this boy who was walking home alone, it was getting dark, and he was in an unfamiliar part of the town, so he started to pick up his pace. He walked for some time, all the while the sun setting and his surroundings becoming darker and darker. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a face, smiling at him from a window. Her elbows were on the windowsill, her hands on her cheeks. “Are you lost?” she asked. Thinking she was going to help him out, he walked closer to the woman. She suddenly jumped from the windowsill, revealing her disfigurement. Her legs and her torso were missing. Before the boy could scream, she cut him in two, just like her.
