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

true Japanese scary stories from around the internet.

Bunkai baffling Japanese Internet Mysteries Volume 3 is

now out. If you enjoy the particular mysteries that only the internet can offer, then do head

over and check it out right now. We also have a brand new design up in the Koabana Merchandise Store.

You can check that out at koabana.store. We have shirts, mugs, stickers, masks and much more, so do check it out and help support

the show at the same time.

This week, we're looking at several stories of bizarre, creepy, and honestly kind of horrifying

hauntings.

First up, this story is actually part of a series that I'll be covering over the next

few episodes, because it's quite long.

We'll be looking at the first two parts this week, and then over the next few episodes,

we'll see it out to its horrifying conclusion, so stick around.

This story starts out innocently enough, with a group of childhood friends going to visit one of the gang,

but when they get there, well, their entire lives are about to change.

Find out why in My Friend in the Tape.

This happened to me last summer.

First, let me just say that this is a true story, so it might be a little short and maybe not so interesting.

However, this experience made me start to wonder if maybe ghosts really do exist.

Up until then, I never believed in them.

But now, well...

I'm a full-time worker now, so I no longer live at home, but I always return to my parents' house
