"Did you see any suspicious people or behaviour yesterday?"

Well, I've got an idea of who it was, but I don't want to testify to the police and be held up for hours. It should be fine if I just say nothing and leave it to the police—or is it not?

 

Today, I will introduce one of the most terrifying Hitokowa (human horror) urban legends.

*Kaidan is a type of scary story that has been popular entertainment in Japan for centuries. You might imagine some kind of traditional ghost stories, Yokai/monster folklore, or maybe any temple/shrine-related thing. But Kaidan also consists of some supernatural tales, urban legends/creepypasta, true crime, and even modern human-based horrors as well, which means you will never get bored, hopefully!
