So, apparently there's this website that suddenly appears when you're surfing the internet.

It appears even when you're not looking for it,

and the URL is constantly changing.

But you'll know you've found it when you see a photo of a shrine gate

and rows of cryptic numbers.

Then, if you don't go out and find the same gate that's in the photo, you'll fall victim

to a terrible curse.

Be careful that this website doesn't find you next.

Hey guys, welcome to episode 2 of Kowabana, bringing you the best Japanese creepy pastures,

urban legends and scary stories from the deepest, darkest corners of the internet.

My name's Tara, and this week I have three carefully handpicked stories to deliver.

So grab yourself some tea and sit back and relax, while

we explore some true Japanese scary stories. Our first story this week is about a young

man who goes to visit his grandmother in the countryside. He hears rumors of a pond in the

mountains that the children are forbidden to go near. What's a curious

kid to do? This one's called Magagami Sama. There's this mountain in the village where my

grandma lives, and up on that mountain there's this amazingly beautiful emerald green pond it's so

green it's almost blue almost like a transparent pastel color whatever you

want to call it it's really beautiful however the children of the village are told

never to go near it.

Whenever I asked why, the answer was always the same.

Children don't need to know.
