On this week's episode, we're looking at two more extremely popular and terrifying tales.

First up sees a young man and his brother bring home a seemingly plain, if somewhat rusty,

soared from a neighbour who passes away.

Yet, they soon discover that something sinister seems to reside within it,

and it's about to tear their entire family apart.

Find out what in...

The cursed sword that destroyed my family.

Let me tell you about a scary experience I had several years ago.

I can't sense anything supernatural, and I've never believed in ghosts either.

But this experience changed all that.

It's an unbelievable story, so if you want to think it's fake, go right ahead.

To start, let me tell you a little about the people involved.

Me, a second grader in a countryside high school.

I can't see ghosts, I'm short and average. And I like games.

My older brother, a second grader in university. He can somewhat sense the supernatural,

according to himself. He apparently suffers from sleep paralysis a lot. He's also short and average.

He likes messing around with computers.
