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 novella, Ghost in the Box, is now out. If you want

a quick jaunt through a creepy ghost story that will keep you guessing until the end, then check

it out on Amazon 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 taking a look at some

strange and perplexing stories that will leave you scratching your head after and wondering,

perhaps, what was really going on. First up, some university students decide to head out for a test of courage one night,

and come across two girls in a graveyard.

This alone is odd enough, but the longer they spend in the presence of these girls,

the more they realize that perhaps something is very, very wrong.

Find out what in? Desire for the end.

This memory involves a person, not a ghost, but as the years pass by, my confidence is starting to fade. It happened when I was 19 years old. I had graduated from high school, but I didn't have regular work.

I just lased around and did part-time work whenever something struck my fancy.

My friends at the time were the same guys I hung

out with in high school, and on this particular day we all gathered at this one guy's house.

These friends were pretty well known as delinquents in the area, but I wasn't a great fighter,

and I didn't have a bike either. I was simply friends with their leader since

childhood and so we sometimes hung out. It was getting pretty late that night so we decided

to head out for a little test of courage. Nobody actually believed in ghosts and nobody was scared

either, but we went along because we thought that maybe we could

pick up a few girls along the way. One of my friends had a van, so all six of us piled into it.
