In the modern cities where all the darkness are said to be gone,

there still exists the darkness that is everlasting from the ancient times.

The darkness of the dead that appears on the verge of this world.

The underworld is always waiting for a chance to drag us down into the dark side.

And there is another darkness that is still growing.

Haven't you forgotten where the darkness grows most enormously?

Yes, it grows within our distorted heart.

Sometimes the camera captures the darkness of such moment.

The videos that are born from the darkness and to be buried in the darkness.

Let us introduce you what camera catches in the darkness.

Tokyo Videos of Horror

Video holder: Kazuki Hirai

I don't know where to start.

How did you get to know Ueda-san?

Absence

Until half a year ago,

I had been working for two years.

Delivering things with the motorbike.

There I met him.

Ueda was my colleague.

Then, I found a steady job.

I had to quit that delivering job.

Even I stop working there,

since Ueda and I had same hobby, touring with the bike,

and we were at the same age, we were very close.

We went for touring during holidays.

We went out for drinking together.

I got this video from Ueda.

This is part of the video.

Please take a look.

Please come in.

Hello.

You can find the seal by your side. Please press it and leave the baggage.

-Ok. -Fine, please do that.

The way how the baggage was received

is strangely recorded on the video.

He used to deliver baggages frequently to the apartment in Shinjuku.

It was sort of like an office of a company.

It was a normal apartment building.

But also some companies rent out that place.

The translation company that translates documents.

And the way how they receive the baggages was a little strange.

When he goes into the room, there's nobody there at the entrance.

Inside there is a room but he only hears the voice of a woman.

She says, "Please use the seal there."

Then he presses it and leave the baggages and then goes out.

In the room at the back,

what shall I say...

there is a stand with the camera on.

That camera records the entrance.

Well, at the beginning, he felt very weird.

But, as he has been there many times for delivering,

after several times, he got used to it.

One day, when he delivered the baggage,

nobody was there unusually.

He rang the doorbell and nobody answered.

So far, this is the first time ever that she was absent.

He got worried and opened the door.

The key was unlocked.

So he went inside.

Inside, the room was totally empty.

He said hello and no one replied.

Even the video camera was not there.

He went in without anyone's permission, so he felt uncomfortable.

But normally he is the one who presses the seal and leave the baggages, you see.

So he tried to do what he does as usual.

But there was something strange

left behind.

On the floor, there was a hand-written letter and the DVD.

It says that he must watch this.

At first he thought it was spooky.

He didn't really think it was addressed to him.

But he just couldn't leave it and took it back.

At home, he watched this video.

This is the one I sent to you.

In this DVD-R,

Ueda-san appears as he visits this company and delivers the baggage.

It should be recorded by the camera which he noticed.

This is the whole content of the video.

Please watch.

Please come in.

Hello.

There is a seal by your side. Please press it and leave the baggage.

-Ok. -Fine, please do that.

-Good bye. Thank you. -Thank you.

From Ueda-san,

there's another one of him appeared.

-Good bye. Thank you. -Thank you.

In the DVD-R which Ueda-san brought back,

there were some other images included.

Shinjiro Ueda

The records of the other times. Please keep on watching.

Hello.

Hi there.

Please leave it there.

Alright.

-Thank you. Good bye. -Thank you.

Please come in. It's open.

Hello.

-Please press the seal there. -Ok.

-Thank you very much. -Ok. Thank you.

Hello.

Please press the seal and leave it.

Ok.

-Good bye. Thank you. -Thank you.

Strange phenomena occur whenever he visits this apartment.

Did the lady shoot this by the camera in order to record such phenomena?

Ueda brought this DVD to my place.

He was freaked out.

I thought this was a prank.

Many people make this kind of freaky videos.

Another thing bothers him.

Ever since Ueda brought this DVD back home,

the delivery to this office suddenly stopped.

There are no more delivery of baggages to this office.

This bothered Ueda-san.

He went to check this room.

The room was already empty.

He wanted to ask what was going on.

He visited the concierge's room.

He wanted to know.

But the manager couldn't talk about it to the ones who may not concerned.

But still he was worried about it and has done some research on his own.

Well, it's actually forbidden to do but...

he searched the information of the data kept at the delivering company.

There, he found out...

Around the time Ueda picked up the DVD,

the office suspended its business.

He couldn't find out what became of that company.

He couldn't find out where she went.

Ueda-san watched the DVD in question and he thought he might be cursed.

He was afraid to keep this DVD to himself, so he brought this to the video holder.

About two weeks after I got this DVD,

I received e-mail from Ueda.

I haven't given it back to him.

What he text to me was weird.

It says, "The delivering man is dead this time."

"The delivering man is dead this time"

As soon as I read it, I try to keep in touch with him.

He never answered me back.

I was worried and I even called the place where he works.

I found out that he had already quitted the job a week prior.

He didn't come home at all.

His family was also very worried.

I lost touch with him then.

Was he possessed by something that also give bad influences to the others?

Did it take him to somewhere?

Red passenger

Video of a couple traveling

As they watched this later,

They found "it."

What are you doing?

Ouch.

What are you doing?

I'm shooting the video.

Why are you trying to shoot inside the tunnel?

I'm trying to catch what comes after this tunnel.

Are you trying to shoot yourself reflected on the window?

No.

When does it end?

-You won't expect see after this. -I know.

Please pay attention to upper left of the monitor.

A bloodstained

inexplicable being.

As we checked this video thoroughly,

we found more of this.

At the beginning of the video when the train arrives at the platform

Waiting for the train.

Red passenger.

Between the transcendence and the vulgarity

Did he stick it in?

Video holder: president of the TV production

You see it's a documentary video...

that camera follows the actual situation of the crimes for 24 hours to find out what's going on.

It's one of them.

The TV station requested us to produce it.

It has a problem in its contents.

It is shelved.

As for the interview, they requested a supermarket in Kanagawa prefecture for the cooperations.

Have you ever heard of watchmen for shoplifters?

They are the security guard wearing private clothes.

We planned to cover a watchwoman for shoplifters closely

to shoot the moment she nabs them.

We did make arrangements.

How they shot

One fixed camera for shooting inside the supermarket.

A hidden camera embedded in the brooch she wore.

That's it.

There was a request from the supermarket.

They didn't want our staffs to flap around.

So basically, all the staffs were waiting in the car.

What they did was to install cameras and to collect them.

That's how we did.

Excuse me!

Excuse me, sir, may I?

Could you wait?

You must have some products with the bar-code unscanned.

I don't know.

Yes, you have.

Please come to the office and we listen to your story.

The shoplifter

was taken to the meeting room of the supermarket.

Come on, take it out!

I haven't stolen anything.

-I said I didn't! -Yes, you did.

I didn't steal anything!

If you didn't, you can show this to me!

-Why should I show this to you? -Why can't you show this to me?

What are these?

It's a crime to steal those things.

It's called larceny.

I just forgot to pay for them.

No way.

I can't do anything because I forgot to pay!

I pay you now, I'm telling you!

I forgot to pay, that I can't do anything about it.

It was heavy holding in my hand, I just put it there.

No, it's not true.

-So I pay you. -That's not the point.

Please give me your name and the address.

Why?

Yes, you tell me your name and the address.

I don't know.

-Ok, now. Then we have to call the police. -Wait a minute.

Please wait, manager.

Why do you call the police so soon?

Because it's a crime.

No, I have a child and a wife.

Please forgive me.

Some doubt that this kind of videos are fake.

In our case,

we never do that.

Some other professions sometimes ask for the actors just in case.

But if we do the researches and interviews thoroughly before hand,

like collecting data,

in my experiences,

we can record real shoplifters.

Surely, we have to spend more time compared to the fake ones.

She did it now.

That one!

Excuse me! Could you wait a moment?

I'm from the supermarket.

You have some products with the bar-code unscanned.

What are you talking about? No.

Could you please come to the office?

What? What do you do to me?

We need to talk.

Leave me alone! I'm the customer.

Why are you doing this to me?

What's this?

I paid for it.

Give me a break!

No, you haven't paid the money.

You paid for this.

I paid for everything!

We know. We are checking at the cashier.

I'm busy, you know?

-I'll sue you! -What are you talking about?

What you did is a crime.

What did I do wrong?

You stole it.

No, I didn't.

Give me a break!

I'll sue you.

What the hell is this?

Ok, we call the police.

Why do you call the police? Wait a moment.

My relative is a bit shot in the police! I don't care what will become of you.

So what?

As a result,

this woman was taken to the police.

That lady...

She has only been wandering around.

I assume she stole something.

She did it! Just now, she did it.

Excuse me.

Could you wait for a while?

You have some products with the bar-code unscanned.

You have them, right?

Let's go to the office. We need to talk.

Give me the things you picked up.

Please.

The things you stole.

You have them, right?

Look.

You stole it.

You are quite at home in doing it. You must have stolen some other things, haven't you?

-Are there? -No, no more.

Really? Haven't you stolen something else?

You stole it, right?

Yes, you did it!

Are you listening to me?

Give me your name and the address.

Your name and the address.

Please let us know. We talk to your family.

The woman stayed expressionlessly.

She didn't answer anything.

Say something.

Can you hear us?

Your name.

You stole it.

Alright. Let's call the police.

What?

What?

Hey.

Uesugi-san?

Uesugi-san.

You see how it is. He passed away.

The security, she was stabbed badly in the digestive organ.

The wound was serious. It needed few months to be cured.

Even now, she suffers from aftereffects.

This shoplifter went out of the supermarket.

Nobody knows where she went.

We gave our videos to the police.

The police considers...

it was a commitment of a crime...

a murder by the man of a supermarket.

That's how they figured out.

They suspected that this man could have been addicted to the drugs.

But no trace of it was found.

The shoplifter, the woman...

the police could only look for her for the charge of shoplifting.

The word she spoke

and what she did cannot be ignored.

In this video, the woman raised her right hand

and wrote something in the air while whispering.

The staff of the supermarket then changed

soon after that.

Oh well...

we can hardly hear what she says from the video.

That action...

we have no idea what that is.

Suggesting or hypnotizing...

maybe it's one of those.

With only that...

it's hard to believe to make it happen. I don't know.

One other thing,

there is another inexplicable video left.

After that, when she leaves the supermarket,

she looks at the camera we installed and things go weird.

This is the video.

Please watch.

Peeping

The video recorded more than 20 years ago.

People gather around the baby to see him.

From the sliding door,

inexplicable eyes are peeking it.

The spirit in the shape of eyes

has a strong feeling of attachment to this world.

The local TV station

shot this video.

Video holder: cameraman

I keep saying it many times.

You might think that I'm crazy if I talk about this.

But I really can't explain this to myself.

It's a mysterious story.

I used to work at TV station as a cameraman.

That was a project for spring holiday.

We went to shoot an old shrine deep in the mountain.

It is a well-known psychic spot that we could see a ghost of a woman.

That's why we went there.

What we did was...

to visit a scary place...

mainly shooting the conversations of the director and the reporter,

to produce a scary sort of video.

The members were the director,

the girl who played the role of the reporter,

an assistant director and me, the cameraman. Four of us.

Territory of an evil

Rolling?

-Let's do as we arranged. -Ok.

-Are you ready? -Yes.

So we go and have something to eat and then head to the psychic spot.

But why is the camera rolling now?

Well, anyway, it's still during the day and we still have some time.

Sae-chan, why don't you tell us a scary story?

-A scary story? Now? -Yes, now.

Ok.

-To whom should I talk? -To me.

Ok.

This is what really happened to me when I was in Junior high school.

Now I think it was weird.

What she talked about her dream was...

now I think...

very suggestive about what was going to happen next.

I lost my voice.

And I was paralyzed whole time.

That was most horrifying.

Very scary.

But last night, I really had a scary dream.

-A dream? -Yes, dream.

We see a ghost during the shooting today.

It attacks the staffs.

We start to miss one by one.

Then eventually, I will be left alone in the mountain.

That was the dream.

The dream continues.

I will also be attacked by the ghost and it will take me to death.

Hey guys, the camera is rolling!

-Could you come here for a minute? -What?

We found something.

What is it?

It's a crow.

-A crow? -Yes.

Is it dead?

A crow fell down.

A crow fell down?

Is it dead?

Yes, perhaps it's dead.

Don't you think it's sinister?

Don't say that. We are ok.

They waited until it gets darker.

And the shooting started.

Ok, ready.

Ok, let's start.

Ready? Action!

We came to the shrine deep in the mountain.

This place is well-known as a psychic spot where you can see the ghost of a woman.

I will start reporting from here.

Take a look at this. We find a very big tree here.

And look here. There's another big tree here.

Looks like very old. Ok, we go ahead.

Hey, Sae-chan.

I have to tell you before we go any further.

Just don't react even if you hear children's voices.

-Ok. -If you answer, you'll be cursed.

Excuse me. What is that?

The light doesn't work.

-Are you alright? -Well...

The battery's fine.

What the hell is this?

We didn't tell the reporter girl.

The other three staffs has already had a meeting.

We wanted to scare her to shoot how she react.

In order to do so, we arranged a simple prank for her.

A dead crow,

the assistant director put it down while she was not watching.

Surely, it was a fake one we ordered the art section to make it for the shooting.

About the light, I switched if off and pretended as if it went off naturally.

So I rolled the camera for the scenes that I usually do not roll.

I have been walking quite a bit for a while.

But I haven't arrived at the precinct yet.

The approach is very long.

It's somewhat shaking.

Stopped?

Yes.

What was that anyway?

I don't know.

That noise, we did not prepare.

At first, I thought the director or the assistant director did it.

Later I found out both of them had no idea about it.

And of course we can't make the earthquake to happen.

As for another prank,

three of us pretend to go to the bathroom to leave her alone.

By making her feel scared,

we thought of shooting her from the distance.

It was a standard prank.

We thought it was ok if we could shoot something funny.

Ok.

To the right.

Now we finally came to the precinct.

Please take a look at this. Here we can find the offertory box.

And in front of me is the main shrine.

Let's go ahead.

Very old and historical.

But it looks so frightening at night.

Now I finished praying without any problems.

We still haven't found any ghost of a woman.

On our way here, the light of the camera was gone and...

we heard a strange noise.

There were some incidents happened.

But we found no ghost.

Let's go back to the place where we were.

Can we go back without any problems?

Ok, cut.

-I go to the bathroom before we go back. -Ok.

Me, too.

Me, too.

Hey, wait. Do I stay here alone?

Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom seriously.

I do, too. Are you fine?

I'm ok.

Two of them went away.

About a minute has passed.

What's wrong?

What's going on?

Are you ok? You screamed.

No, I haven't.

-Yes, you did. -We heard your voice.

We definitely heard your voice. You screamed.

No, I haven't.

-But we heard, right? -Yes.

But I haven't heard anything.

We definitely heard the scream of the girl reporter.

It is also recorded on the video.

But she says she didn't.

She didn't hear anything either.

It could have been a prank of her.

But does she do that? It is hard to believe so.

Well, let's continue anyway.

-Is the camera rolling? -Yes.

-Ok, are you ready? -Yes.

Ready? Action.

Now we go back to where we were.

Outside, it's getting much colder than before.

Just stop around here.

Well, Sae-chan, you have done something you should never do in this shrine.

-Something I should never do? -Right.

We'll be cursed if we leave it as it is.

There's another shrine back there.

I want you to go there and pray.

I mean you must to there alone.

Was that what you told me on the way?

No, not that.

You have done another thing.

What have I done?

I can't tell you right now.

So please go there and pray alone.

Do I really have to go alone?

Right.

Really?

Yes.

Go and get the microphone.

I beg you.

Ok.

I go now.

To a shrine up in the mountain,

the director made her go.

Did we go there last time we came here?

No, I just made up my mind to do so now.

But we found it during the location hunting.

The shabby shrine up there.

If the shooting isn't so exciting, I think it would be a good idea.

Was there any shrine there?

Yes, there is. A small one up there.

A small one? Did we go up there?

Sure we did.

At the meeting, we weren't informed that the girl reporter goes there alone.

He decided there to do so.

To my consideration, it is a bit strange.

She didn't have a camera with her.

And the director didn't tell me to follow her for shooting.

I don't understand why she had to go there alone for the TV program.

I switched off the camera once.

About 5 minutes later...

We heard the scream of the girl reporter again.

We hurried to where she was.

Sae-chan!

On the right?

There was a shrine, wasn't there?

Sae-chan!

A blind end?

Sae-chan?

No reply.

Maybe she didn't come this way.

Ok, then.

Let's find her first.

Well, then.

She must have gone further in the backyard. You wait here.

You and me, we go and check the parking and the shrine.

Should the camera keep on rolling?

-Yes, please. -Ok.

Sae-chan!

Few minutes later

Sae-chan!

Sae-chan!

She appeared...

Sae-chan.

Sae-chan, where are you?

Disappeared?

Sae-chan.

A dead crow...

So many of them...

When I saw those crows, I thought I was the one who has been fooled by the prank.

But still...

I started to feel so scared to be alone.

I knew I had to be there, but I decided to go back briefly.

Sakai-san!

Back to the shrine...

Hirasawa-chan!

Sakai-san!

The video holder looks for the staffs...

Sakai-san.

Strange noise...

Underneath the shrine...?

Who is it?

Hirasawa-chan?

You must be Hirasawa-chan.

Hirawasa-chan!

The assistant director is hanged to death...

Being dragged by an inexplicable force...?

Being taken out of the shrine...

Sakai-san.

The director was at the approach...

Sakai-san!

What are you doing?

Sakai-san!

He speaks words without any meaning and keeps going around in a circle.

Sakai-san!

I just kept the camera rolling.

So it was recorded on the video.

I didn't record it purposely.

Rather, since I only had a light of a camera,

so I made my way with this light.

The assistant director who was found underneath the shrine had the car key.

So I thought of running to find any house near to call somebody.

But when he went through the approach

and try to pass through the parking down there

What are you doing? You are late.

The director who was supposed to be left behind suddenly appears...

The video

stops here.

After that, the things gets complicated.

The director, the reporter and the assistant director were already in the car.

They say that as the crew tried to go back after shooting...

I told them I needed to go to the bathroom,

and never came back.

I was already so confused.

I didn't argue back or asked them any questions.

I pretended that I was sleeping in the car.

I thought it was a prank.

But I was scared to death.

Was that a dream? No, I was fully conscience.

It wasn't a dream, I thought.

If what I experienced was real,

the other three crews were not human beings.

People from the other world.

I thought I would be taken to somewhere else by them.

I was feeling uneasy whole through the time until I got back home.

Well...the fear never went away.

I don't want the others to think that I went out of my mind.

After a while, I didn't talk about this to anyone.

He gave the recording tape immediately to the assistant director.

It was broadcasted as planned.

I nervously watched this program as it was broadcasted.

It was different than what I have experienced.

The girl reporter prays at the shrine and came back without any problems.

I might have seen an hallucination.

That's how I felt.

I even thought of going to the mental hospital.

After a while, he quit his job at the TV station.

Then he just couldn't help searching for the video tape he shot that time.

Normally they are kept at the storehouse of the TV station.

I looked for it and found it as you have watched.

Everything was recorded as I experienced.

Then I tried to look for the one that was edited for the broadcasting.

Then on the other hand, I couldn't find that one.

Take that with a pinch of salt.

About the shooting in question,

Have you ever talked about it with the other crews?

I have worked with them several times after that.

What shall I say...

I was afraid to ask them.

Since that shooting, I have been feeling something wrong being with them three.

Maybe I am misunderstanding.

Three of them never talked about it to me.

And that they quit their professions all of a sudden.

Three of them quitted half a year after that.

What became of them, I have no idea at all.

It is as if

he was deceived by an evil spirit.
