talking about vengeful spirits and their stories is a pretty integral part of japanese culture
with many stories dating back to the 8th century a.d despite their age these
ancient stories remain both fascinating and terrifying and the curious listeners love them
for our final creature today we're going to deeply explore this sad terrifying and confusing story
of a ghost spirit known as tekiteke this spirit is a spirit you can find in train stations and
nearby toilets if you try to cross the railway tracks she might appear and come to kill you
even though the lower half of her body is missing she is completely capable of chasing you down
just by crawling on either her hands or elbows at much faster rates than you'd expect
while dragging her upper torso she makes a strange noise that sounds like tekiteke or teketeke
when she catches up with her victims she likes to slice them in half
in order to make them look just like her
you might be surprised to learn that the story of the decay decay is not actually very ancient
they first became popular a few decades after the second world war
when japan developed the world's first bullet train in 1964. in the early days
of the shinkansen trains accidents seem to be too common especially as the high-speed trains pass by
people were afraid of the dangers posed by bullet train related accidents there are two popular
stories that describes the origin of the vengeful mentally unstable killer spirit techy techy
according to the first story the teke teke ghost was once a young school girl
just like any other kiddo sadly she was afraid of shadows even her own
due to this she was mocked and ridiculed by her fellow classmates she was a regular victim of
ghostly pranks too but at one point those cruel jokes and pranks proved to be lethal
while waiting for a train at the train station her insensitive friends decided to put a bug on
her shoulder as a prank when she saw the bug she got extremely frightened panicked and fell onto
the shinkansen track moments later a train passed by over her body chopping her in two equal parts
the poor girl was deeply distressed disappointed with her life and suffering from misfortune caused
by others she was completely innocent and she rightfully desired revenge that vengeful desire
turned her dying spirit into the evil yokai the teke teke when she hunts a person the victim's
body gets paralyzed by fear she then makes the teke teki noise as she reaches to her victim
she carries a scythe in her hands which she uses to slice anything in front of her
there is another story about the origin of the decay decay according to this story there was once
a young woman known as kashima riko while crossing the railway tracks at midnight she accidentally
slipped on the track and fell down in no time a fast-running shinkansen passed over her body
cutting her clean in half even after the clean cut she was not bleeding because her blood was frozen
this was a result of the extreme cold of the hokkaido knight thus she was still
alive and yelling for help following the accident fortunately her agonizing screams were heard by a
station attendant as the attendant approached hope phil kishimareko as she expected to be
saved but the station attendant after seeing the mutilated body of kashima felt disgusted
instead of helping he covered her body with a plastic sheet and left you to die in the
cold weather after she died she was very angry and frustrated with humanity because
of their unsympathetic and selfish nature these feelings turned her into the evil spirit taketeke
nowadays the spirit of kashima reiko is said to haunt bathroom stalls too
if you're unlucky enough to be the next victim of teke teki
she will ask you one question before killing you where is my body where is my body
if your answer is wrong or unacceptable to kashima she will cut your leg without hesitation
but there is one way to survive you must give her the right answer which is that her body is on the
meishin expressway when she hears this teketeke will leave you alone so take heed of this advice
so that you might be fortunate enough to survive the horror of teke teke
