Two new kaidan!

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, so as a way of saying sorry, I am giving you two new kaidan!
Pedestrian Crossing
The Pedestrian Crossing is a short and creepy urban legend from Japan.
One evening, I was standing at the pedestrian crossing on a busy street, waiting for the light to change. I looked over at the people who were standing on the other side of the street and a chill went down my spine.
There was a woman standing opposite me who looked very strange. At first I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. I could see her pants and jacket perfectly, but her face and hands were a complete blur.
I rubbed my eyes and looked again, but it made no difference. Her face was fuzzy and indistinct. I got the strangest impression that I could almost see through her. It was extremely unsettling.
The light turned green and people began to walk across the pedestrian crossing. The woman appeared to be walking straight towards me.
I began walking across the intersection, veering to the left, attempting to avoid her. It didn’t work. She changed direction and walked right up to me.
We passed in the middle of the street, and as she walked by me, I heard her hiss: “I know you can see me!”



Human bones
Human Bones is a strange story from Japan about a man who passes through a small village and meeting a weird old woman in an abandoned house. There was a village in Japan where the population was very small. A lot of people had left the village and many of the houses were abandoned. One snowy day, a traveller came to this village, looking for shelter. He saw what appeared to be an empty house, but when he went inside, he was surprised to find an old woman standing there. The old woman told him to go up to the first floor and she followed behind him. When he reached the top of the stairs and turned around, she had disappeared. He walked back down the stairs and saw that the old woman was standing in the exact spot she had been when he entered, except now she was holding a sharp sickle in her hand. The man was very spooked by this ran to the front door, but when he tried to pull it open, he found that it was locked. He turned to find the old woman standing right beside him. She grabbed hold of his arm. In the darkness he hadn’t noticed how pale she looked. But now that she was up close, he could see that her skin seemed to be rotting. She looked dead. The old woman squeezed his arm and hissed, “Listen to me! Under this house lie thirteen bodies. Give them peace! If not, I will kill you.” After she uttered these words, the man began to feel dizzy and clollapsed to the floor. When he woke up, he had no idea how much time had elapsed. He began to doubt himself. Perhaps he had dreamed the whole thing. He was about to leave when he noticed a mat in the middle of the room, where the old woman had been standing. There was a dark red stain on it. He pulled back the mat and found it was covering a large hole in the floorboards. Looking into the hole, he saw human bones neatly arranged underneath. The bones of fourteen bodies were lying there. “Why did she say thirteen?”, he murmured to himself. Perhaps the fourteenth set of human bones belonged to the old woman. The traveller went outside and told some of the villagers what had happened. When he brought them back to the empty house, they looked down into the hole and saw the bones. But now, there were only thirteen sets of human bones underneath the floorboards. The old woman’s bones were not there anymore. Afterwards, the villagers demolished the old house and built a shrine there instead. Inside the shrine, they placed the blood-stained mat, so that people could offer prayers to the dead. The traveller and the villagers who discovered the dead bodies all died soon after the incident. This is a scary story I heard from one of my teachers at school. The teacher who told me this story said he was from the same village. I can’t remember the exact name of the village as it was such a long time ago when I heard it. I’m sorry.

I got both scares from scary for kids.

Daruma-San

This is a different kind of story. It's a scary game people play in Japan. Please do not play this game. I got this story from scaryforkids.com

Daruma-san is a paranormal game that originated in Japan. The game involves summoning a grotesque ghost that will follow you all day. The object of the game is to evade the ghost and prevent it from catching you.

Warning: Do not play Daruma-san. This game can result in very bad things happening to you.

Daruma-san Game Instructions:

Step 1: Before you go to bed at night, take off your clothes and go into the bathroom.

Step 2: Fill the bathtub with water and turn off the lights.

Step 3: Sit in the middle of the bathtub, facing the faucets or taps.

Step 4: Wash your hair, while repeating over and over the words “Daruma-san fell down. Daruma-san fell down.”

Step 5: As you wash your hair, in your mind, you should see an image of a Japanese woman standing in a bathtub. She slips and falls onto a rusty tap. The tap goes through her eye and kills her.

Step 6: Keep repeating the words “Daruma-san fell down. Daruma-san fell down” until you finish washing your hair. Your eyes must remain shut.

You may hear or feel a slight movement in the bathwater behind you. Keep your eyes closed. Do not peek. You have just summoned a ghost.

The ghostly figure of a woman will rise out of the water behind you. You will feel her presence as she stares at you, her head just behind your right shoulder. Her hair is black and tangled. Her clothes are tattered and rotting. She has only one eye. Her left eye is wide open and bloodshot. Her right eye is missing, leaving just a bloody, hollow eye socket.

Step 7: When you sense the presence of the ghost, say out loud “Why did you fall in the bath?”

Step 8: Keeping your eyes shut tightly, stand up, get out of the bath. Be careful not to trip and fall. Immediately leave the bathroom and shut the door behind you. Now it is safe to open your eyes. Leave the water in the bath overnight. Go to sleep.

The next morning, when you wake up, the game will begin. The ghost of the one-eyed woman will be following you. Whenever you turn to look, she will disappear. Throughout the day, when you glance over your right shoulder, you will occasionally catch a glimpse of her. She will get closer and closer as the day goes on. Do not allow her to catch you.

If you glance over your shoulder and see that she is way too close, you should shout “Tomare!” which means “Stop!” Then run away as quickly as possible. This will allow you to put some distance between yourself and the one-eyed woman.

To end the game, you must catch a glimpse of the ghostly woman and shout “Kitta!” which means “I cut you loose!” Then hold out your hand in front of you and swing it down in a cutting motion (like a karate chop).

You should end the game before midnight. Otherwise the one-eyed woman will appear in your dreams and follow you.

Daruma-san Game Rules:

Do not open your eyes when the ghost first appears.
Do not allow the ghost to trip you when you get out of the bath.
Do not re-enter the bathroom after you leave.
Do not drain the bathtub until morning.
Do not allow the one-eyed woman to catch up to you.

A final piece of advice:

Do not play this game. It is very dangerous. Summoning ghosts can result in you getting possessed by a demon or dying in a horrible way. You could also trip and fall in the bath and seriously injure or kill yourself. If you fail to end the game properly, the ghost could continue to follow you for the rest of your life. Do not play this game.
