The Creepy Lawless Village

Sitting in the countryside of Kyushu’s Fukuoka Prefecture, this abandoned village is only accessible through a tunnel in which hundreds of workers were killed when it collapsed during its construction.The village was slowly abandoned for reasons that aren’t entirely clear. Some say it was because of a widespread plague that wiped out the population. Others say it was just due to its remoteness, but the wildest story is that one of the villagers went crazy and murdered everyone with an axe Whatever the case, no one has actually lived here since the end of World War II and electronic devices reportedly don’t work inside. Are those the sounds of barking dogs, or the screams of dead workers that you hear emanating from deep inside the tunnel?                     

The Creepy Doll That grows hair

                                            2) The Doll That Grows Human Hair:- Back in 1918, a seventeen-year-old boy in Hokkaido bought a doll at the market for his two-year-old sister, Okiku. The doll looked similar to her as they both had an okappa hair cut, a bowl cut with straight hair down to the chin. She loved the doll so much that she took it everywhere with her, even to sleep. When Okiku died months later, the family named the doll after her and prayed to it at their household shrine.Scientists have analyzed the hair of the doll and concluded that it is real human hair from a little toddler It wasn’t long after they noticed something strange happening—the doll’s hair was gradually growing longer. Even after cutting it, the hair kept growing back. It was at that moment the family knew they messed up

Okiku’s father gave the doll to Mannen-ji Temple in Iwamizawa City, Hokkaido, where it can be visited to this day (no photos allowed). he remoteness of the temple makes it extremely hard to access without a car, and even then it can be dangerous when there’s heavy snowfall. Some ghost tours do take visitors here, but they are typically only in Japanese. In case you were thinking about trying to see this demonic doll for yourself 

 Hanako-San The Japanese bloody Marry:-The “Bloody Mary” of Japanese elementary schools, Toire no Hanako-san or “Hanako of the Toilet” is a spirit that can be summoned but you’d have to be either really brave or just plain crazy.Hanako-san’s true backstory is unclear. Some say she was a victim of an air raid during World War II who was hiding in the bathroom stall when her school went up in flames. Others say she ran into the bathroom to hide from her murderous parents. Poor girl.

Hanako-San Aka The Japanese Bloody Mary

One thing is clear, she died in the third stall of the third-floor bathroom, and that’s where you need to knock to summon her. Knock three times and ask, “Hanakosan imasu ka?” or “Hanako-san, are you there?”  “Yes, I am,” a small voice will respond.The door will slowly open, and you’ll just be able to glimpse a schoolgirl covered in blood coming out of the toilet before she drags you in with her                                                                                                                              4)Red Room Curse:-This modern scary story comes in the form of a computer popup and originated in the 1990s when personal computers were just starting to boom across Japan.

The curse starts with a pop-up that appears on a victim’s computer screen when they are alone in a room. It has a red background with black letters asking “do you like the Red Room?” It’s impossible to close out of the popup, it’s frozen on the screen.You won’t be able to escape the room you’re in when the pop-up appears, as the doors and windows will suddenly lock. Your body will be discovered days later, dead in your room, surrounded by walls painted red with blood

A Psycho In The Red Room

The Red Room Curse became popular in the dark corners of the internet after a 12-year-old girl in Sasebo, Nagasaki was murdered by her classmate. The murderer, who has remained unnamed due to being 11 years old at the time, was found to have a link to a “Red Room” bookmarked on her computer.
