Title: Tokyo subways
Post by: fallen on Jan 24, 2009, 06:00:09 PM
These subways are old - and have had a dark history sometimes.  Japan is a beautiful countrywith beautiful people and culture, but there is a massive suicide rate here - most commonly by jumping in front of a train (I have seen 2 die that way, some of my colleagues and students have seen far more).

I travel the subways a lot, often at night - and I have seen the shadows in the corner of the eye, usually that is just it - but I have seen on a couple of occasions 'lost souls' - eyes are blank and they tend to appear then disappear quickly.

Not really scary, but saddening.

Very sad. I don't know if I could use the subways to travel if I saw "shadow people"...

shadow people and lost souls tend to be harmless and usually out of sight - but it is the BEKs and demons that people have to watch out for (thankfully I have not encountered them)

BEK is like that kid in the movie "The Grudge", if I remember correctly it comes before the actual spirit and isnt a good sign, If you seen the movie its a real scary thing to see even on screen. It gave me the heebie jibbies. :SmileyFear:

yes, that is quite right - and that movie is based on a legend here - they are seen everywhere in Japan.

Oh just thinking about that movie gives me the heebie jeebies.  Those are the kinds of movies that have me looking over my shoulder for days.  I think if I ever saw a BEK, I would turn tail and run.
