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. My latest book, Koobana Volume 12, is now out. Collecting even more

of your favorite stories from the show, you can find creepy ghosts, abandoned buildings, haunted shrines,

fascinating monsters, and much, much more. You can find that on Amazon right now and help support

the show at the same time. This week, we're looking at some tales of horrifying, horrendous, and downright awful curses.

First up, after a young man's grandfather passes away, they find something hidden in his storehouse that perhaps should have stayed hidden.

Find out why in...

Curst Lump.

My grandfather passed away last month, and so my father and I had to sort out the storehouse

that he also used as a room.

It's a little embarrassing to say, but he lived in a really old, really creepy house, and

the storehouse was so old that it was falling apart as well, so we used this opportunity

to knock it down and build a new one instead.

But before we could do that, we had to move everything that was inside it first.

Work proceeded smoothly, moving everything to the Japanese-style room in the house, and then

demolition on the storehouse started last Thursday.

But then, writer's work began, the supervisor informed my mother that something still hadn't been moved out of the room yet.

When I got back from work, my mother told me what they said, but there was no way that could be true.

I went over to check right away and discovered the excavator had unearthed a gap that could barely even be called a room that

was about two metres long, one meter deep, and 40 centimetres wide.

It was almost like a closet space between the walls, but there was no way in or out, and

of course I had no idea of its existence, so I was shocked.
