There were two female university students, A-Cole and B-Co, who were out drinking at a party.

They said goodbye to everyone and we're about to go home, but B. Co. was drunk,

so it was decided she would go back with Ako to her place. They got back to Aikos and

Biko sat on the bed. Biko said to Ako, as though she suddenly remembered something.

I need to get something, so let's go to the convenience store.

Aiko said she didn't want to go, but Biko persisted and eventually she agreed.

As soon as they stepped outside and locked the door, Biko rang the police.

It turned out there was a man under Eko's bed holding a knife.

Biko noticed him in the reflection of the window and thought if she said something, they would surely be killed.

Thinking it through, she used her quick wits and asked Eiko to go to the convenience store with her instead.

The man was apparently a patient who had escaped from the nearby mental institution.

Hey guys, I'm your host Tara A. Devlin, and welcome to this week's episode of Koabana,

true Japanese scary stories from around

In case you missed it, Toshiden Exploring Japanese Urban Legends Volume 4 is now available.

Once again, there are a host of new legends to explore, both horrifying, bizarre and

with my constant dental

issues that have made recording incredibly difficult.
