It was just a straight highway but...
the navi suddenly said "turn right at the next exit"
Then a male voice said "come over here"
Wow that made me feel cold
I got goose bumps
(creepy noises)
Welcome guys on Ask Japanese it's your flashy fashion reporter CathyCat
Since it's Halloween we asked some Japanese students about horror stories
that they know about or that might have happened to them or someone they know
Which makes this even more terrifying, omg
I can't believe what we got together. Don't forget to hit the subscribe button
if you love Japan and you are supporting us
Thank you so much and let's ask Japanese about their horror stories
"Turn right"
Since halloween is near, let me hear some stories that instill fear!
Please tell me some horror stories - You are sure
I was driving with my mum from Tokyo to Kyushu Area
My mum was driving us back
And around 2 am it's ghost hour in Japan...
we call it USHIMITSU
That is around 2... we were driving...
we were quite sleepy
It was just a straight highway...
around us was nothing, just fields and rice paddys .... but then....
The navi said "leave at the next exit"
"left"
I was totally shocked, there was nowhere to go! But my mum decided to turn the car
But there was nothing i mean NOTHING when we left the highway
I found it really strange, but kept it secret from my mum
I looked up "Yamaguchi area highway ghost" on google...
People had written that their car navi would suddenly make them turn in weird places...
and bring them to an area of the road where there had been many suicides before...
I was scared we were gonna be were being lead astray by a ghost right now too
I repeated to myself the affirmation what we would go HOME and to no other place
I couldn't tell my mum all that right... so I looked up the way home on google
The path I had researched home would have us turn left at the T crossing
With that path we would be able to get back to the highway swiftly
So I told my mum we would have to turn left according to my phone, there was light on the road
But the navi said right, and the right path had not a single light. Pitchblack!
There was nothing, just darkness, you could barely see your hand
Nobody was in that direction. I kept saying to my mum "we gotta turn left! Left!"
So we turned left, and we got back to the highway but I was so scared...
I didn't tell my mum until we got to the next rest area. I told her the navi had lead us to an area with many deaths...
and many people have car crashes there without a reason and are taken to the other world...
Even my mum freaked out - Is this recent?
Recent? - Oh no
It happened 3 weeks ago. - Super recent girl - What a summer scare!
I was so scared, so I kept researching it more afterwards
On that path a lot of people had been led astray and had car accidents........
If we had turned right, we might have died too....
That was so scary
So the navi was the scary one
Maybe the navi was possessed by some ghost...
That's why it said things that were not on the route home, to lure us there...
This is scary...
Maybe your mother as driver had been possessed too - Scary!!!!!!
no way
Gosh I am freaked out now
Glad you made it home
I am back - Welcome baack
I feel cold now
"The Voice"
In summer in my kindergarten we did a "test of bravery" game in summer
Our kindergarten did that in a real graveyard...
Usually kids walk around and staff will try to scare them a little saying "booh"
But our kindergarten made is walk alone through the graveyard and pick up a "sign of bravery" at the end and go back
The seniors in kindergarten had to do it right
Our kindergarten only had female teachers right
I went all the way through the graveyard to get the flag of bravery at the end
Suddenly a male voice said "come here"
"come here"
I heard those words and startled
I was scared, and it was a sudden moment
I grabbed the flag and ran home
I asked if others had heard it, nobody had. The teachers said "there are no men here"
There were no men present at the event
I still don't know what it was to this day
"Play alone"
This happened to my little sister when she was a baby
I cannot sense spirits but my family members can it seems
The second of my three sisters...
She seems to have a stronger skill of seeing spirits.
She would look at the ceiling and laugh
- oh no - She was asked what's up
She said "I am playing with the man over there!"
She said that for real
- That's pretty scary - Can she still see spirits?
I haven't heard her say anything like that so maybe not so much
But when we were small, my little sisters said something like that from time to time
Trick or Treat
What do we say on Halloween?
Trick or Treat! - Correct

Pork sauce - nice
I like caramel corn - There is a special shaped one inside
I will have to eat that one!
Thanks for your scary stories! - Thank you
"The train chaos"
It's not scary but it will give you a shudder
When I was riding the train, an old man was holding the handrail
In front of him a high school student was sleeping
The old man was also dozing and suddenly
he drooled a little
and a little bit of it hit her arm
But the girl thought it was her drool so she licked it up
RIP
None of them noticed what happened, I was so shocked
That gave me the chills - I have goosebumps now
You saw something terrible - I was so disgusted
Trick or Treat

Why is this swing SWINGING?
Some of the stories that we heard about today were absolutely terrifying
I got shivers while listening to that
I am a bit of a scaredy cat and horror is definitely not my favourite genre
Even though in October I am all up for the spoops and you can have me for all the spooky clothes
and the spooky decorations and spooky games and all of that, I am up for that in October
But still I was absolutely terrified
Also in the podcast I am doing with Ladybeard called Cat with Beard, we talked about Horror Stories before
There is a lot of... why are you....?
putting the camera in my face?
There is a lot of horror stories that we also shared but yeah
Japan has a different way of creating horror which...
I think it's terrifying, it goes under your skin, they are masters of horror in my opinion
What do you think, did you have a favourite horror story and is there a story you would like to share with us?
Put it down in the comments uuh
Maybe something spooky happened to you that you'd like to share
But ghosty spoopy not real life spooky please
