In this article I will tell you about the most scary places ah in Japan, which you absolutely cannot visit. Will you be able to sleep after reading this article?

Hospital for tuberculosis patients in Kaizuka City (Osaka Prefecture)

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. There are still medical supplies in the building. Since there have been many deaths of patients in the hospital, it is said that the building is haunted by many ghosts.

Old X-rays can be seen scattered on the floor.

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

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

2. Jomon Tunnel (Hokkaido)

The Jomon 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 also became famous because human bones were discovered in a wall destroyed by an earthquake.

3. Forest in the village of Shizukuishi (Iwate Prefecture)

Over the forest in the village of Shizukuishi on July 30, 1971, an ANA (All Nippon Airways) plane collided with a military fighter. The accident killed 162 people. People still bring flowers to the erected monument.

4. Shitodono Rock Iwaya (Kanagawa Prefecture)

It is known that the rock of Shitodono Iwaya was where Minamoto no Yorimoto took refuge when he was defeated in the war. Here is large number statues of Jizo (bodhisattva). During the daytime it is quite an ordinary tourist attraction, but when night falls the atmosphere changes dramatically. Among the Jizo statues there are statues with far from kind facial expressions. They say that a person who sees the headless statue of Jizo will soon be visited by death.


5. Hospital in Kasumigaura City (Ibaraki Prefecture)

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


How do you like it?

What do you think of the places presented? They say that you should never visit them, surely there are people who already want to go there? Remember: you may experience such fear that your hair will stand on end; You take full responsibility for possible consequences.

For sensitive and impressionable people who are not ready to get acquainted with the dark pages of human history, entry is strictly with the permission of grandmothers.

San Zhi. Taiwan

At first glance, San Zhi - ideal city: beautiful well-kept houses, high-tech style homes, well-thought-out infrastructure, beautiful nature. But not without the “rabble” (otherwise the city would not have made it into this chart). During the construction of this heavenly monastery, dozens of builders died.

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 country's authorities cannot even demolish the damned place: local residents They are afraid that this will release the ghosts.

This is what San Zhi looks like today:

Poveglia Island. Italy

The island is famous for the fact that in the 14th century people suffering from the plague were brought here (there was no chance to cure them, so they were left there to die). And after death, the corpses were burned - the mass graves were already so crowded that they could not accommodate the bodies. They say that the island's soil is 40% human ash.

Another equally terrible fact: a psychiatric hospital was built on the same island in 1922. In it, scientists conducted their insidious experiments on the mentally ill. This is the fate of the island: strewn with plague, corpses, and a psychiatric hospital with patients.

Mary King's Dead End. Edinburgh

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

Winchester House. California

Sarah Winchester claimed that as soon as the sound of hammers died down during the construction of her house, she would die immediately. Therefore, there are as many as 160 rooms, 40 staircases, dead ends, basements, closed rooms without a single entrance, and God knows what else. The housing took 38 years to build.

“Crazy,” you might think. But it was in vain: as soon as construction was stopped, the next day Sarah departed into the other world.


Aokigahara Forest. Japan

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

Himuro Mansion

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

It was said that the Himuro family practiced ancient, forgotten Shinto rituals that had long ago been banned in Japan. One of these occult rituals was called the “Strangulation Ritual,” which involved the sacrificial murder of a young girl. The purpose of this terrible ritual was to protect the Himuro family from bad karma, which they believed was coming out of a portal in the mansion's courtyard.

The strangulation ritual was carried out every fifty years. The family selected a baby girl who was secretly raised in the mansion. This girl was called the "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 ropes were tied around her arms, legs and neck. Then several bulls began to pull the ropes in different directions, tearing the victim alive into several pieces. The bloody ropes were then placed on a portal in the mansion's courtyard. If the ritual was successful, then bad karma receded from the family for another fifty years.

This tradition was passed down from generation to generation in the Himuro family. However, during preparations for the last 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 a mansion. This was a real disaster because she had to remain pure and free from worldly influences. Her blood and soul were tainted, and when she was sacrificed, the ritual failed.

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

Locals from the neighboring village kept quiet about the Himuro Mansion and everything that happened there for decades. And then endless eyewitness accounts began about 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 the murdered members of the Himuro family, and they will try to repeat their failed ritual on anyone foolish enough to dare enter the abandoned building.

From time to time, corpses of people who dared to go there are found in the mansion. They have the typical rope marks on their arms, legs and necks, as if they had been strangled. Several corpses 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 it appears they were made to carry out the Ritual of Strangulation.

The mansion also has a window that has gained a bad reputation. They say that if this window is photographed, a ghostly image of a young girl in a kimono will appear in 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 deaths of seven people found in this building has not yet been solved.

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

“I screamed throughout the entire cinema hall in fear!” - ARD author Zhanna Idymova once said about her first experience of watching a Japanese horror film. It seems like the movie “The Ring”...

Japanese horror films are attractive due to their presentation style, and the scary girl climbing out of the well is simply a masterpiece of suspense.

You definitely can’t deny this to the Japanese. Deadly pale faces with inevitably large, frightening eyes, long wet hair covering the face, and a special, incomprehensible to Western viewer, and therefore even more attractive depressing atmosphere - Japanese horror films are significantly different from other world horror films.

For more than fifteen years, the best Japanese horrors - Japanese horror (J-horror, J-horror) have been confidently winning the attention of horror movie lovers all over the world. Unlike Americans and Europeans, well-mannered residents of the Country Rising Sun do not allow themselves to splash out negative emotions on others.

Therefore, Japanese horror films seem lighter and at the same time oppressive. Without copious splashes of blood and dismembered bodies, Japanese horror directors know how to create dark, violent films with apocalyptic contours. The greatest emphasis is usually placed on the psychological component of horror and the potential expectation of an unexpected outcome. It is this thriller orientation that forms the world army of fans of Made in Japan horror.

The regular characters of J-horror are ghosts, poltergeists and yokai - mystical humanoid creatures with different characters, who came into the cinema from Japanese folklore. Japanese folk and world magic are also used: exorcism, foresight, shamanic rituals. The wet girl from the videotape not only brought the famous film by Hideo Nakata the highest box office in the world among films of this genre, but also successfully appeared in the South Korean and American counterparts.

This is a yurei - an ethereal spirit, making itself felt with heavy breathing and heartbreaking groans behind the wall, with quick steps in the corridor. In general, the image of a long-haired girl with oriental features in a long white robe is a kind of business card Japanese horror film, which appears in a significant part of these films and is actively exploited by the world's horror story authors. It seems that there is nothing terrible in this image, but a terrible unpleasant feeling inside the stomach appears from just looking at the official poster of the film, not to mention the picture itself.

Manga comics, anime cartoons and unsurpassed horror films - this is Japan's contribution to world cinema. The irresistible desire to watch Japanese horrors to the end can be explained quite simply. Not a single self-respecting director of Japanese horror will leave a grateful viewer without a solution, nor will he disappoint with a blurry and unfinished ending of the film. There is always food for thought and a strong desire to better understand the mystical facet of Japanese culture.

ARD presents its top Japanese horror films of the last 15 years.

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

··────༺:heart: ༻────··

The island was settled in 1810, when coal was first discovered there. The island was originally created by people. By the 30s of the 20th century, Hashima 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 populated years of its history, the island had 30 residential buildings, 25 shops, a school, two swimming pools, hospitals and a cemetery. For 50 years, the island was one of the most densely populated places on the planet: in 1959, the island's population numbered 5,259 people per km². But the minerals began to gradually dry up and every year there were fewer and fewer mines. 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 among wealthy collectors. And there were always those who were not averse to “spending 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 cause trouble. Not everyone believed in these beliefs. Many died on that island under very strange circumstances. But only when an experienced climber, trying to climb into the window of a blocked floor of one of the buildings, fell from the roof and crashed, despite the safety rope, did everyone begin to believe in them more willingly.

Visits to the abandoned mining town are currently permitted. But only with a guide and only in the “safe zone”. After all, any step to the side is a chance to try your luck...

INTERESTING FACTS

··────༺:heart: ༻────··

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

Mount Osorezan is one of the extraordinary creepy places Japan, where the world of spirits meets the world of the living. That's why the mountain is also called Mountain of Fear. This place was discovered over 1000 years ago by a Buddhist priest. Currently, Mount Fear is part of the Bodaiji Temple grounds. There is no such history 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, for 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 (according to legends, it must be crossed by all dead souls on their way to the afterlife) .

Around Osorezan you can see Jizo statues (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 communicate with lost loved ones through Itakos (blind women who have undergone extensive spiritual training). But often the dead do not speak in their own voice, and even talk about things 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 happened violent eruption Mount Fuji. An unbreakable lava flow formed a huge lava plateau with an area of ​​40 km², on which a very unusual forest took root. It looks as if the soil is torn up, as if the roots were trying to crawl out of the ground.

The forested terrain is full of caves, some of which extend several hundred meters underground, and in some of which the ice never melts.

··────༺:heart: ༻────··

As dusk sets in, people begin to talk about this place only in whispers. Suicides are very common here. Tourists are strictly warned not to deviate from the path. The magnetic anomaly makes the compass a useless item, and similar terrain does not allow finding the exit from memory.

Legends have long been made about the numerous ghosts that live in the forest. This place became notorious back in the Middle Ages (when, in times of famine, people left their relatives here to die). The Japanese say that their ghosts lie in wait for lonely travelers in the forest, wanting to take revenge for their suffering.

There are rumors that here among the trees you can see the white ghostly outlines of yurei. Yurei are those who died violently 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 under your feet may turn out to be the crunch of bones, and the strange outline of a person in the distance may be the corpse of another hanged man.
