Cursed places in Japan. Mystical places in Japan

Himuro Mansion

According to legend, the Himuro mansion is a large traditional Japanese house located in a rocky area somewhere on the outskirts of Tokyo. The mansion became famous as the site of the worst massacre in Japanese history.

It was said that the Himuro family practiced ancient, forgotten Shinto rituals that were banned in Japan long ago. One of these occult rituals was called the "Suffocation Ritual", in which a young girl was sacrificially murdered. The purpose of this terrible ritual was to protect the Himuro family from the bad karma they believed was coming out of the portal in the courtyard of the mansion.

The strangulation ritual was performed every fifty years. A baby girl was chosen in the family, who was secretly raised in a mansion. This girl was called "Maiden of the Rope Temple". The girl was not allowed into the world, she lived in complete isolation, otherwise the ritual would not have worked.

When the time came, the girl was brought to the temple in the courtyard and tied with ropes around her arms, legs and neck. Then several bulls began to pull the ropes in different directions, tearing the victim alive into several parts. The bloody ropes were then placed on the portal in the courtyard of the mansion. If the ritual was successful, then bad karma receded from the family for another fifty years.

This tradition has been passed down from generation to generation in the Himuro family. However, while preparing for the final ritual, something went wrong. The Maiden of the Temple of the Rope fell in love with a boy whom she accidentally saw from the window of the mansion. This was a real disaster, because she had to remain pure and free from worldly influences. Her blood and soul were corrupted, and when she was sacrificed, the ritual failed.

Upon learning that the girl was in love, the head of the Himuro family became distraught. He was responsible for the success of the ritual. Fearing that now all misfortunes would fall on the family, he fell into an indescribable rage. He brutally murdered the entire Himuro family by slashing all of the family members with the traditional Japanese katana sword. The head of the family believed that by killing them, he saved them from a more terrible death. When all family members were killed, he fell on his katana and committed suicide.

The locals from the nearby village have been silent about Himuro's mansion and everything that happened there for decades. And then began endless eyewitness accounts of strange events happening in the mansion.

Inside the mansion, all the walls were covered in bloody handprints. Ghosts have been seen here, both at night and in broad daylight. Legend has it that they are the ghosts of murdered members of the Himuro family, and they will attempt to repeat their failed ritual on anyone foolhardy enough to dare enter the abandoned building.

From time to time, the corpses of people who dared to go there are found in the mansion. They have typical rope marks on their arms, legs, and neck, as if they had been strangled. Several bodies were found in underground network tunnels under the mansion. The corpses were literally torn into several pieces. No one knows who made these tunnels or what purpose they served, but apparently they were made to perform the Suffocation Ritual.

The mansion also has a window that has gained a bad reputation. It is said that if this window is photographed, then a ghostly image of a young girl in a kimono will appear on the photograph.

These incidents have caused panic among people in Tokyo, and many believe that those who approach this mansion will be cursed. The mystery of the death of seven people found in this building has not yet been solved.

The urban legend of the Himuro mansion has become popular in the west. The haunted house story has become very fashionable. If the legend is true, then the Himuro Mansion is by far the most cursed building in Japan.

Now I will tell you just such stories, about three mystical places in the country of the sun.

Hashima Island (Hashima) is an abandoned island located in the East China Sea, about 15 km from the city of Nagasaki. This island also bears the name "Gunkanjima", which translates as "cruiser", because when viewed from above it resembles a ship (because of the buildings).

··────༺:heart: ༻────··

The island was settled in 1810 when coal was first found there. The island was originally created by humans. By the 30s of the 20th century, Hashim had become a serious industrial center. There were not only mines, but also military factories. For some time, Chinese and Koreans were forcibly brought here. Many of them died from harsh working conditions.

During the most populous years of its history, the island had 30 housing blocks, 25 shops, a school, two swimming pools, a hospital and a cemetery. For 50 years, the island was one of the most densely populated places on the planet: in 1959, the population of the island was 5259 people per km². But the fossils began to gradually dry up and every year the mines became less and less. In 1927, the island was completely deserted. For many years, visiting the island was prohibited and even punished.

··────༺:heart: ༻────··

Items from the ghost town were in demand by wealthy collectors. And there were always those who were not averse to "spend a vacation" on an abandoned island.

Trophy hunters had their own beliefs. One of them said that the island must be left before midnight, so as not to invite trouble. Not everyone believed in these beliefs. Many died on that island in very strange circumstances. But only when an experienced climber, who was trying to climb through the window of a blocked floor of one of the buildings, fell off the roof and crashed despite the safety cable, everyone began to believe in them more willingly.

At the moment, visiting the abandoned mining town is allowed. But only with a guide and only in the "safe zone". After all, every step to the side is a chance to try your luck...

INTERESTING FACTS

··────༺:heart: ༻────··

Hashima has also left his mark on the film industry. In 2009, in the series "Life after people." And in 2011, some episodes from the movie “007: Skyfall Coordinates” were filmed on it.

Mount Osorezan is one of the extraordinary creepy places Japan, where the spirit world meets the living world. Therefore, the mountain is also called the Mountain of Fear. This place was discovered over 1000 years ago by a Buddhist priest. Currently, the Mountain of Fear is part of the territory of the Bodaiji Temple. There is no history as such in this mountain, so let's move on to beliefs.

··────༺:heart: ༻────··

The mountain is considered the gateway to the afterlife. Not many believers come here, because the surrounding landscape resembles a Buddhist hell: rocky terrain, the smell of sulfur, a poisonous lake, many snakes, eight surrounding peaks and the Sanzu no Kawa River (believed to be crossed by all dead souls on their way to the afterlife) .

Around Osorezan, you can see statues of Jizo (statues of children), toy windmills, and towers made of piles of stones and pebbles, laid out by the parents of deceased children. This is done in the hope that the sacred stones will help the souls of children find their way to heaven.

INTERESTING FACTS

··────༺:heart: ༻────··

The Bodaiji festival is held here every year. People come to visit lost loved ones through Itako (blind women who have undergone extensive spiritual training). But often the dead do not speak in their own voice, and even talk about things that they should not know about.

Aokigahara ("Plain of Green Trees"), also known as Jukai ("Sea of ​​Trees"), is a forest at the foot of Mount Fuji on Japanese island Honshu. This forest, located right at the foot of the volcano itself, stands out from the general landscape.

··────༺:heart: ༻────··

In 864 there was the strongest eruption Mount Fuji. An unbreakable lava flow has created a huge lava plateau with an area of ​​40 km², on which a very unusual forest has taken root. It looks as if the soil is dug up, as if the roots were trying to crawl out of the ground.

The forest terrain is full of caves, some of which extend underground for several hundred meters, and some of which never melt the ice.

··────༺:heart: ༻────··

With the onset of twilight, people begin to talk about this place only in a whisper. Suicide is very common here. Tourists are strictly punished not to turn off the path. The magnetic anomaly makes the compass a useless item, and similar terrain does not allow finding a way out from memory.

Numerous ghosts living in the forest have long been legendary. This place gained notoriety in the Middle Ages (when in the famine years people left their relatives here to die). The Japanese say that their ghosts lie in wait for lonely travelers in the forest, wanting to avenge their suffering.

Rumor has it that white ghostly shapes of yurei can be seen between the trees here. Yurei are those who have accepted a violent death or committed suicide. They come to our world in the form of legless ghostly figures with long arms and eyes glowing in the dark.

Those who decide to visit Aokigahara must have strong nerves. After all, the crunch underfoot may turn out to be the crunch of bones, and the strange outline of a man in the distance may turn out to be the corpse of another gallows.

Subtle and impressionable natures, not ready to get acquainted with the dark pages of the history of mankind, the entrance is strictly with the permission of grandmothers.

San Zhi. Taiwan

At first glance, San Zhi - perfect city: beautiful well-maintained houses, high-tech dwellings, thoughtful infrastructure, beautiful nature. But not without the “black people” (otherwise the city would not have made it to this chart). Dozens of builders died during the construction of this heavenly abode.

One potential reason is that the city was allegedly built on the site of a former Japanese death camp. As soon as this was trumpeted in the media, investors were no longer able to sell a single house here. The authorities of the country cannot even demolish the cursed place: locals afraid it will free the ghosts.

This is what San Zhi looks like today:

Povela Island. Italy

The island is famous for the fact that in the XIV century plague patients were brought here (there was no chance to cure them, so they left them to die there). And after the death, the corpses were burned - the mass graves were already so full that they could not contain the bodies. The island's soil is said to be 40% human ash.

Another no less terrible fact: a psychiatric hospital was built on the same island in 1922. In it, scientists conducted their insidious experiments on the mentally ill. Such is the fate of the island: strewn with plague, corpses, and a psychiatric hospital with the sick.

Dead End Mary King. Edinburgh

But the authorities of Edinburgh did not find the same island for plague patients. Therefore, it was decided to bring the poor fellows to one of the districts of the city. It turned out to be Mary King - a dead end surrounded by a high wall, behind which the “lucky ones” got acquainted with the “lady in black”.

Winchester house. California

Sarah Winchester claimed that as soon as the sound of hammers during the construction of her house ceased, she would immediately die. Therefore, there are as many as 160 rooms, 40 stairs, dead ends, basements, enclosed spaces without a single entrance, and the devil knows what else. The dwelling was built for 38 years.

"Normal" - you might think. But in vain: as soon as the construction was stopped, Sarah the next day went to the other world.

Aokigahara forest. Japan

The Japanese call it the Suicide Forest. This is because from 1950 to this day people have been constantly coming there to ... die. They say that several thousand people have already said goodbye to their lives there. The tradition has taken root so much that it is honored and supported to this day.

Today we will go to the Country rising sun! But not to meet the dawn, but to look at the strangest places and sights you have ever seen. If you still thought that Japan is only megacities with skyscrapers and imperial palaces, then you are in for a lot of surprises.

TB Hospital in Kaizuka City (Osaka Prefecture)

The Kaizuka City Tuberculosis Hospital is one of the most famous places in Osaka Prefecture, where ghosts live. The building was originally built for a school (in 1948), so there is a swimming pool and showers inside. In 1958, it began to serve as a hospital for tuberculosis patients. Medical supplies are still in the building. Since there were many cases of deaths in the hospital, the building is said to be haunted by many ghosts.

Scattered old x-rays can be seen on the floor.

But the worst thing is not scattered things, but the fact that you can feel the warmth of the people who once were here ...

Then we decided to leave this corridor. At this point, N said, "I just heard someone say 'Hey!'". I thought: “I think I also heard something, but because of the sound of footsteps I couldn’t make out.” However, all 11 members of the team confirmed that they heard "Hey!". We hurried to the cars and quickly left the place.

(from one researcher's blog)

2. Jomon Tunnel (Hokkaido)

The Jōmon Tunnel is located in the eastern part of Hokkaido. It connects Tokoro County and Munbetsu County. The length of the tunnel is 507 meters. In 1914, during construction work, due to very difficult working conditions and lack of food, many workers died right in the tunnel and their corpses were buried right there. In 1968, this tunnel became more famous for the fact that human bones were found in the wall destroyed by the earthquake.

3. Forest in Shizukuishi Village (Iwate Prefecture)

4. Shitodono Iwaya Rock (Kanagawa Prefecture)

It is known that the rock of Shitodono Iwaya was sheltered by Minamoto no Yorimoto when he was defeated in the war. Here it is a large number of Jizo (bodhisattva) statues. During the daytime, this is quite an ordinary tourist attraction, but at nightfall the atmosphere changes dramatically. Among the statues of Jizo there are statues with far from kind expressions on their faces. It is said that a person who sees a headless statue of Jizo will soon be visited by death.

5. Hospital in Kasumigaura City (Ibaraki Prefecture)

Initially, this place was the base of the navy, but then the building became one of the buildings of the Tokyo Medical and Dental University. The building is now in ruins. There is no particular reason for the appearance of ghosts here, but horror film fans know that this building has often become a filming location.
