When you saw your reflection, there was one leg too much? - Yes the legs of one more person.
What did you do? - I was too scared so I ran away.
Hey guys it's Cathy Cat. This time we are gonna go and ask Japanese people on the streets of Tokyo
if they believe in GHOSTS because there are quite a lot of ghost stories going around here.
do they believe in them? And If so, do they have some stories of
maybe some supernatural experiences themselves? Let's go and Ask Japanese.
It's summery! Are you hot right now? - I am hot.
It's hot so let's talk about something coooold.
We are asking "Do you believe in Ghosts" YES or NO
You can draw that line bigger. Nice one.
Is it ok like that? - One more point yeah
One more point for yes. - Since you said yes
What do you believe in? - When I hear sounds, I believe they are there.
I am feeling cold! Anything else? - In a glass window...
we were only two, but we could see more legs in the window. - At your school? - Yes.
There were more foot marks. Right now there would be 6 legs reflected in the mirror but...
in the glass over there, there would be 8 legs visible...
So in the window reflection, there was one pair of legs too much. - Yes we were both walking at night.
We were just saying how scared we felt. That's when we saw the extra legs in the reflection.
What did you do then? - We screamed and ran away. - It was both of you?
Yes we went to the same school. - What are you believing in? - I have seen ghosts.
What? - At my grandpa's place. I woke up and there was a young girl in the room.
Apparently I said to my granddad that there was a girl in my room. I only remember this story a little.
How old were you back then. - I was about 5 years old and I ran to wake up my parents.
What did your parents do? - They were surprised. They could not see anyone.
So only you could see it? - Yes. - Maybe it's a ghost only kids can see. - Maybe.
What did it look like? Do you remember. - A small girl with white clothes and long hair.
It was a girl. - How old did she look? - About the same age. Five.
How long was she there? - I think she disappeared quickly.
I think she was a good ghost. - You said you don't believe in them? - I don't and I never saw any.
In Japan there are often ghost tours and such. Have you tried that?
I have but not a real one. As middle school kids...
we went to walk around the forest near the graveyard. About it.
Were there only ghost stories in your school? - Well...
I think there were some, but I hate scary stories so I didn't listen. - Director: Can you visit ghost houses?
I can't go there. - You can't go there? - I hate them too much.
So you don't believe in them but you're scared. - because I am scared I don't want to believe in them.
You said yes. Why. - I have seen one before.
Where and when? - I saw it at a friend's house. We were all staying over and sleeping.
I went to the bathroom, and there was a spirit light.
Like a fire ball. I went cold with fear. - What did you do? - I was too scared so I ran away.
You didn't go to the toilet? - I held it in and went back to sleep.
You have slept afterwards? - I did. - I wouldn't have been able to. Didn't you wake your friends? - No.
If it was me, would have screamed and woken all my friends. - I was ok.
We don't have spirit light stories abroad. Can you explain what it looked like?
There were three fire balls. They had a blue light.
Blue. Three of them. Like that. It was an old house...
and it had a huge garden. Everything was wide.
It had a different aura. Like a place in which ghosts might exist.
So it was quite scary. - Yes. - Did you friend see ghost sometimes there? - He did not.
Your friend can't see them. - Yes. You don't believe in ghosts. Why? - I feel like his story is made up.
Just listening to it. I don't believe in them. I have never seen them.
Have you had some ghost stories in school?
We had the one with the man reading the book.
The stature in front of the school would walk around the school at 2 am, reading a book.
Who? - The stature from the front gates of the school.
It would walk around and read a book. We had a story like that in our primary school.
So there was something in school? - We had a large stature there.
That urban legend was a thing in school. - Director: Do you watch horror movies?
I could visit ghost houses. - You have never been? - Never.
But you are not scared to go? - I think I could pull through.
I could do it, even if I am sacred. Afterwards...
I would not start believing in them. - Do you have a favourite horror movie? - The one with Sadako.
The ring.. - yes. - Do you have a favourite horror movie? - Mine is the same.
We watched it together in the dark. - We were both scared.
Those were all our questions. Thank you.
Do Japanese people believe in ghosts? What it looks like... the
majority actually does. And this is dependent on also...
people having had some experiences and also the connection
that Japanese people seem to believe in the spirit world or that spirits
are here and there. So sometimes ghosts can not be something you see but feel.
It might be cold in the room or you might feel uncomfortable or similar
If you ever watched any Japanese ghost movies you might know
that Japanese ghosts seem to be slightly different from maybe ghosts that we
have in your country and in the way they are perceived. Instead of maybe having a nice
ghost, ghosts here can hold a grudge and something like that. Also the director of Ask Japanese
is currently dancing behind the camera to make this a little bit lighter.
We had 8 votes for yes if they believe in ghosts. How about you, do you believe in ghosts
have you ever had any supernatural experiences you would like to share with us?
If so please let us know... I wish you.. whaaaa
what are you ... how can you even do that... wow...
okay that was almost a headstand of the director...
behind the camera. Anyways, have you ever had any ghost experiences
let us know. Share them down below. If you are new, don'T forget to subscribe and I catch you
you soon on ask Japanese. Bye.
