This is a real case. Okiku had a doll that wore a kimono and she was the girl's inseparable friend. But one day Okiku died of cold and his spirit returned, possessing the toy. Now Okiku's doll hair grows and no one has an explanation for it. It is stored in the Mannenji Temple in Japan.

Before being possessed, the doll had short hair. But over time, it has grown and is now long. No one knows how hair continues to grow, but scientific studies have concluded that hair is a child's. Maybe Okiku.

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.

Inunaki Village

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

This is a mysterious village that is totally isolated from other Japanese villages. Even the Japanese have difficulty finding it, which raises some doubt as to whether it really exists. Some people who claim to have found it say that, at the entrance, there is a plaque that says, "The constituent laws of Japan do not apply here."

According to reports, the people there live in an extremely strange way. Incestos, cannibalisms and murders are very common there. For some reason, no electronic gadget works in this village. There are old shops and public phones, but you can not call anyone. Many people have already been to this village, but no one has ever returned.

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).

The Myth of Japanese Christmas

Many foreign residents of Japan claim to know someone who knows someone who has seen a mysterious Japanese Christmas display. A department store Christmas window that features Santa Claus crucified on a cross.

The location of the story alternates: Yokohama, Saitama, Chiba, Osaka. It's probably a myth. A photo would have surfaced. A few fakes have been circulated by nothing convincing.

Myth or Reality: The Japanese Descend From The Lost Tribes of Israel

In 720 BC the Kingdom of Israel was destroyed by ancient Assyria.

The population of Israel was exiled. At this point, historical records of 10 Israelite tribes ends. These have become known as The Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.

Whatever happened to these exiled peoples is one of the great mysteries of history. A popular theory proposes that one of the tribes settled in ancient Japan and that Japanese people descended from this tribe.

The Theory

Leaders of the Yamato clan (Japan's dominant ethnic group) have long claimed that they have Israelite roots.

Several prominent academic researchers have put forward theories that support these claims. In the 1930s, Canadian ethnographer Edward Odlum proposed that the Japanese descended form the lost tribe of Menasseh. The Menasseh had Egyptian blood. He suggested that this explains many of the racial characteristics of the Japanese (skin color and eyes).

Edward Odlum also put forward a theory that the word samurai comes from the word "Samaria". Samaria was a city in the ancient Kingdom of Israel. He theorized that samurai originally meant "to defend Samaria".

Academics have also pointed out that the Japanese have eaten unleavened bread and written on paper scrolls since ancient times. Others suggest a similarity between the Arc of the Covenant and Japanese mikoshi.

Myth or Reality?

Modern studies suggest that Japanese people don't have Semitic markers in their DNA — the Japanese have Asian ancestry.

The Slit-Mouthed Woman

There is a legend in Japan and China about a girl called Kuchisake-Onna, also known as the slit-mouthed woman. Some say that she was a samurai’s wife. One day, she cheated on her husband with a younger and better-looking man. When the husband returned, he discovered her betrayal; enraged and furious, he took his sword and slit her mouth ear-to-ear.

Some say that the woman was cursed to never die, and still wanders the world so that people can see the horrible scar on her face and pity her. Some people claim that others have actually seen a very beautiful young lady, who asked them: “Am I pretty?” And once they replied positively, she ripped off the surgical mask, and showed them her horrible wound. She then asked the same question—and anyone who no longer found her pretty was met by tragic death from her hands.

There are two morals to this story: a compliment won’t cost you a thing, and honesty isn’t necessarily the best policy.

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.

Cow Head

Everyone loves a good scary story; that false sense of fear that fills you with adrenaline if you happen to be short of cocaine that particular day. Of course, once the story is over and you've succeeded in giving your younger sibling bed-wetting night terrors, everything should go back to normal. Unless it doesn't because you've apparently died of fucking fright.

 

The story of Cow Head is apparently so terrifying, so horrific, so psychologically soul-wrecking, that the exact details of the tale have long since been lost. To hear it would leave you a violently trembling mess for days until you eventually died of fright (much like the effects of Stephanie Meyer's writing on most of the general public). However, due to what Cracked assumes must be its Ringu-like superpowers, no full variation is known today, though mention of it can be found in various written accounts dating back to the 17th century. We must assume it is hard to recount a story to anyone if you're...you know...dead.

As the story itself remains largely unknown, there is little threat that you will hear Cow Head being passed around your cub-scout campfire any time soon.

Red Room curse

The Red Room story is an internet legend about a pop up which appears on the victim's computer. The image simply shows a red door and a recorded voice asks "Do you like-". Even if the pop up is closed it will repeatedly reappear until the voice finally completes the question: "Do you like the red room?". 

Those who have seen the pop-up are found dead, their walls painted red in their own blood. The legend began with a flash animation of a young boy being cursed after encountering the pop-up, but gained notoriety when it was found that the schoolgirl who committed the Sasebo slashing in 2004 had the video as a bookmark.
