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

The video holder: Yoshiro Kato

I'm a sales rep for the company of office supplies.

Sagawa is my colleague.

One day, we did our sales and had couple of drinks together and we stayed up late.

The place was close to Sagawa's second- hand apartment which he just bought.

We both were off next day, so he let me stay at his apartment.

Spare key

Is this working?

Hi, everyone! This is the apartment which Sagawa-kun lives.

How is it?

On which floor do you live?

On the top.

On the top?

The video presented

was shot by the smartphone.

Sagawa-kun's posh apartment.

I'll show it to the people of our company.

Why not?

Not bad at all.

Am I the first one to visit here except your girl friend?

Right.

It costs like $500,000?

-About $300,000? -You are right.

Then it's cheap.

First it was more expensive, but they gave me a discount.

-A discount? -Yeah.

My girlfriend's relative introduced this to me.

Sagawa was about to marry a month later from that time.

And he bought this apartment for the newlywed life for him and his girlfriend.

When I visited, they were not yet living there.

But they were preparing to live there.

Thank you for letting me in.

Very beautiful.

You already have everything.

We bought them all in one place.

It makes me smile.

They are all red.

"I love you forever. Yukie"

Do you have this kind of memo all the time?

I don't understand this.

Yukie?

That's not her name. I don't know her.

-It's your girlfriend? -No, no, no.

I don't understand what it means.

Her name is Yoko.

Who are you living with?

-Who is this? Mistress? -No, no, no.

-Is this the place for that? -No.

Well, it's not my business.

You also bought a bed?

Yes, at the same shop.

Let me see.

There was a memo on the table.

It said, "I love you."

They are newlywed. So they must have loved each other so much.

But the name of the lady written on it was not the name of Sagawa's girlfriend.

I wondered why but...

that time, I thought it was a joke of Sagawa's girlfriend.

So we didn't really care.

Hey, here it is.

Double-bedded.

Here...

Here.

Are you doing it?

The noise cannot be heard? Controlled?

That...I'm not like you.

I don't have much sex drive.

You have everything but the closet is empty.

What happened to the clothes you wear?

That's the last.

Empty.

Nothing's inside.

You need to prepare for rubbers.

And some toys.

I'm not enthusiastic.

If you have something in there, that could have been epic.

I'm weak.

You have balcony over there?

Yes, you can see a nice night view.

Gees, this is great.

So beautiful.

-You have another room? -Yeah.

Let me see the other room.

It's empty.

It would be a room for kid if we will have any.

Show me the bathroom.

You can look inside.

Sagawa!

Someone's there!

Look!

The video

ends here.

We called the police straight away.

And the ambulance as well.

But it was too late.

She killed herself with hydrogen sulfide.

Couple of days have already passed after she died.

Hydrogen sulfide is a poisonous gas.

But we found her few days after that, so the gas has already gone.

It had no effect on us.

The one who died

was totally a stranger to Sagawa.

According to the police, she used to live there.

It was a mistake of the real estate agency.

By the time Sagawa bought the apartment, they didn't change the key.

So that lady came into the apartment with the spare key.

She used to live there with her husband.

But for some reason, they divorced.

And she moved out.

Then she got nervous breakdown.

She came back to where she lived and committed suicide.

I think that she still believed that her husband kept on living there.

She probably did it to annoy him.

By the time she came into the room, I think she understood that her husband no longer lived there.

But she was mentally distressed.

Maybe she couldn't judge.

Kato-san did not watch this video again.

But there was a point that we are concerned about.

I don't have much sex drive.

Do you have a balcony there?

Yes, you can see a nice night view.

Please watch this with the slow motion.

Is this an inexplicable appearance of the woman who killed herself?

The real estate agency was responsible for it because they didn't change the key.

Sagawa received some compensation fee from them.

But the lady who died...

she didn't have any relatives, so no compensation from her side.

They cleaned the place.

Since it is cleaned, Sagawa wanted to live there.

But his girlfriend didn't want to.

As a result, their relationship soured.

They cancelled their marriage.

Sagawa lived there alone. He was paying the mortgage.

Eventually, he started saying something strange.

He said that the ghost of the lady who killed herself appeared.

The place was purified many times and Sagawa also talked to the psychic

but these were not effective at all.

And in the meantime, Sagawa lost his mind.

What do you mean?

How does he become?

Well, he started being in a daze all the time.

Or he started shouting in a strange voice.

It became difficult for him to concentrate on his work.

He was repeatedly absent without leave.

After that

Sagawa-san quit his job.

Since he quit his job, he could not pay the mortgage any more.

And he had to sell the apartment.

I really think he had a bad luck.

I feel pity for him.

Kato-san think about the meaning of this video

and he can't delete it away.

This time, I get to know you people.

If possible, I leave this to you and...

I wish you could deal with it.

Kato-san knows how to keep in touch with Sagawa-san.

But he doesn't catch the phone and he never calls him back.

We tried to visit

Sagawa-san's place.

It's here.

I go in.

The room number?

103

Here.

I ring the door bell.

Sagawa-san

was not in.

He is not in.

Sagawa-san!

Shall I open the door?

The door is unlocked.

The curtains are closed.

Shall we open then?

Sagawa-san, we open the door.

Here we are.

Something is on the wall.

Sagawa-san, are you there?

No, he is not here.

Who are you people?

Do you know him?

Sagawa-san's friend introduced him to us.

The door was open.

Is that so?

I was trying to go out and I heard the noise.

That's why I talked to you.

Do you know where Sagawa-san is now?

We are looking for him and we don't know.

Oh, yeah?

He hasn't been paying the rent for a while.

That annoys me as a landlord.

I would like to proceed for him to vacate.

We ask the landlord for the interview...

Sagawa-san has fallen behind his rent

for more than six months.

I receive many complaints from the residents.

I live on the top floor.

He shouts in a strange voice in the middle of the night.

He makes a noise in a loud voice.

I think it's about time for him to leave this place.

Sagawa-san was making his own living by being a day laborer of a blue color job.

But he is now unemployed.

I went into his room the other day.

He put weird things all over his room.

I think he is into some sort of religion.

Under the permission of this landlord,

we went into Sagawa-san"s room.

They are all same.

There are strange marks

all over the room.

The papers are new.

They are recent.

The quality of the papers are new

They are not put from a long time ago.

Taped here.

These are eyes?

A large number of

eyes

Sagawa-san went

missing without a trace.

Under the approval of Sagawa-san's parents,

we publish the following video which we found in Sagawa-san's room.

This is the video recorded by the camera installed at the living room of the apartment

where he was supposed to be living when he got married.

We don't know why he installed this camera for what purpose.

We assume that he tried to record psychic phenomena that took place in his apartment.

Please watch the following part.

A transparent figure

seems to be walking.

Is this also the inexplicable appearance of the woman who killed herself?

Depressed face

The video holder visited

the festival of the shrine nearby.

At the back of the shrine,

"it" was there.

Please watch

the part in question with the slow motion

Before we know it,

the person who was in the car

suddenly looks back and

disappears.

His face looks

depressed.

Living together: first half

Video holder: Kaori Tanaka

It's about my little sister.

Mariko. She's four years younger.

We came to Tokyo and we started working.

We lived separately.

At first...

I got a mail from her telling me that she's haunted by a ghost.

After that, she talked to me frequently about that.

Originally she was a bit like that.

Sometimes she said that someone was there or she heard some voices no one really heard.

And she got scared.

Our parents didn't know what to do with her.

I have no sixth sense.

I have never seen or heard anything like that, so I didn't believe them.

After a while...

She told me that she started living with a man.

A man with unknown background.

It seemed like he is a psychic. Something of that sort.

He chases off the ghosts.

Or he speaks with the ghosts.

So being with him...

made her feel ok.

That's what she wrote to me.

The trouble regarding psychic

are increasing recent years.

Duties of the professional psychic vary.

Sometimes it's only a consultation or fortune-telling.

Or it could be a ritual exorcism.

But sometimes they charge for large amount of reward.

It is not rare that this will cause money troubles.

How do they get to know each other?

BBS on the internet.

She told me so.

When I found that out...

I thought it was doubtful.

I called her.

She was completely relying on him.

I dropped in at her place after my work.

I rang the doorbell and she talked over the intercom.

She said she couldn't let me in.

I went there without any notice.

So I walked away reluctantly.

To be honest...

we lost our parents four years ago...

by the car accident.

We have no relatives, no one to depend upon here.

So I needed to do something about her.

Kaori-san requested the detective agency

to find out who he is.

I wanted to know who he really is.

I let them stay in front of their apartment for few days.

To check what they are doing.

The following video is

recorded by the detective agency.

Few days have passed

since they started staying in front of their apartment.

The windows of the apartment are closed.

The curtains are also closed.

They are almost staying home all day.

I've watched the video recorded by the detective agency.

Two of them came out of the apartment.

I could somehow feel...

that they are not normal.

Well, they came out and...

got some food or so.

They came back pretty soon.

The man noticed the camera?

The detective agency said...

they tried to find out who this man is through the psychics they knew.

But no one knew this person.

His background is totally unknown.

Then I thought my sister must have been cheated.

I thought she has been scammed.

Before it gets too late,

she headed to Mariko's apartment again.

I was to pay him the money...

for him to go away from her.

I told my intention to the detective agency.

They said it could be a trouble in future.

And to think about discussing this matter afterwards with the police or with the lawyer,

they suggested me to record as much as I can.

From the detective agency,

she borrowed a candid camera for her to wear.

This was a long duration recording camera.

The video you will be watching from now on

is the video she recorded with it.

After few chimes...

Yes.

Mariko?

It's me.

Let me in.

I can't.

I came here to talk with you.

I'm worried about you.

What?

I can't let you in.

I can't talk to you like this. You know how your neighbors feel.

Just let me in.

She just kept on persuading her sister

to let her in...

Look, I'm disturbing your neighbors.

Ok, just talking at the front door is fine.

Mariko!

Open the door.

What? What are you scattering?

I have to do this.

Salt?

Why is this happening?

I can't introduce him now.

Why not?

-So he's that kind of person. -No.

Is he that kind of person you can't even introduce me?

That's not it?

Please just let me in.

-That's not what I mean... -He is here now, right?

To meet the man whom her sister is living with

she started arguing with her.

You will be in danger if you are to be involved. That's why I'm telling you.

It's such a waste of time talking to you.

He needs to prove that what I have in mind is not right.

Ok. I understand.

I report to the police.

Why?

I tell the police that my sister seems to be incarcerated by a man in the room.

No, I'm not.

That's how I tell the police. And they will come.

You just go and tell him that I came to talk to him.

Only ten minutes.

He gave her ten minutes

to talk with him.

I come in.

So you're taking care of my sister, Mariko.

I'm her elder sister, Kaori.

Nice to meet you.

I couldn't talk to you.

Excuse me for coming here so suddenly. You might be confused.

Where do you originally live?

That doesn't matter.

Yes, it does.

I don't even know his name.

Why doesn't he talk at all?

Excuse me. I'm her elder sister, Kaori. Nice to meet you.

Why doesn't he talk?

I understand.

Money is what you want.

Excuse me.

Just take this and please leave Mariko.

You can't talk because you feel guilty.

Am I right?

No, you are misunderstanding.

What am I misunderstanding? Me?

Please wait and see a little while.

How long should I wait and see?

Could you talk to me in a convincing way?

You can't convince me with such a hazy and deceiving way.

If you can't talk, just receive this money and leave this place.

That's not it.

Then what?

He keeps quiet because he is feeling guilty of something.

No.

Why not?

Are you deceiving my sister?

No, he is not.

I'm not asking you. I'm asking him.

What do you say?

What is that?

Mariko, are you alright?

A change could cause a bad influence, so please be calm.

I am calm.

So this is how you are deceiving her.

I don't know what that is...

This is because of the spirit...

You don't know what that is?

Isn't that what you are doing?

Hey, stop it! Give me a break!

This is eerie.

The abnormal change

started to happen.

That time...

I only thought he was a scam...

Blood rushed to my head...

I lost my temper.

What happened later...

is still very confusing even remembering now.

to be continued to the latter half...

At present, many true-to-life magazines are published featuring social darkness.

Psychotic crimes

Occult

New religions

Contributed by the freelance writers who undertake various interviews,

we obtained strange video.

Hand of glory

Do you start shooting already?

Oh, yes.

You need to start shooting after it begins.

Please sit down.

Are you after work?

That's right.

Do you work together?

Yes.

Today, it's 90 minutes course and shooting plus threesome option.

At the beginning, this seemed to be a video recording

of the service included in the course for the prostitution.

-Here you are. -Thank you.

I give you the change.

Could I have the receipt?

All of a sudden, the man choked the neck of the girl.

About a minute later

-Are you recording? -Yes.

Is she dead?

Video holder: freelance writer

When I first saw this, I thought it could be a snuff film for the enthusiasts.

These are distributed via a back channel.

I think many of them are made up.

But when I look at it...

this is not that kind.

It is not merely a psychotic murder, either.

That's how I saw.

How did you obtain this?

Well...

I found this through other interview.

Are you recording?

Yes, sure.

Then, I open this.

For the thing that I will create,

I definitely need the dead body of sinful and filthy whore who is hanged.

After releasing the spirit of filthy one,

I have to cut off the most abominable part of the body.

Among the human body,

do you know where the most abominable part is?

Do you know?

No, I don't.

It's the hand.

Stealing, adultery, violence...

all those sins are committed by the hand.

Ok. Here we go.

Oops, sorry.

-Are you alright? -Yes, I'm alright.

Please record this.

Excuse me... I'm sorry.

Record it properly.

The wrist that I cut off...

I wrap this around with the cloth and make it bloodless.

Fragments of video that explains something.

Due to the time consideration, we could only show you a part of it.

It is dried in a good way.

It took a long time to complete "hand of glory."

I think it is a ritual of the new religion.

This is the video for the believers.

The DVD is numbered 14.

Lecture 14

I think there are another videos.

And at the last part,

the ceremony begun.

Now we are in the middle of a mountain.

Covering this whole mountain area,

I have drawn magic circle of King Solomon, except I did it with my own way.

At the center of the four lights, hexagram is drawn.

This is truly the center of the magic circle.

Please hold this.

This is hand of glory.

If we lit a fire on it, many mysteries become possible.

This is a candle made by the adipocere of that sinful lady

The most well-known mystery of hand of glory...

is to vanish.

I will show you in reality.

Please come here.

Hold hand of glory.

Please stand in the middle.

Put down hand of glory.

Light a fire on the candle.

Go back to stand in the middle.

The man who assisted vanished

and appeared again...?

This hand of glory has much more splendid power.

This could be a passport to Yahweh.

But for this...

I need the blood of a sinful man.

Now I begin.

He laid down the body of the dead man in the middle

and started to cast a spell.

Some noise started to appear in the monitor...

Fires are suddenly gone...

And then

few minutes have passed.

The man who was laid down in the middle vanished...?

The video

ends here.

I have no idea where this video came from.

It seems like the guru and the assistant really existed.

I have no idea which religious group this is.

According to the record of the police

two of them are found skeletonized.

They seem to have a doctrine of a foreign witchcraft.

We interviewed the expert for western witchcraft and occult.

He translates many of the horror novels of the western countries.

Horror novel translator: Shigeo Kageyama

Hand of glory is a tool for western witchcraft

to make someone vanished or to have some various effects.

The witchcraft tool, "hand of glory"

is to be made of the wrist cut off from the dead human body.

At the beginning of 18th Century,

"Small Albert" was published.

It is a notorious grimoire.

Within this book, a precise way of how to make it is mentioned.

There was a murder case related to this.

This is well-known.

At the beginning of 20 Century in a country somewhere,

there was a case of murder of a boy in order to make a hand of glory.

His wrist was cut off.

Offenders vanished their appearance with hand of glory

and tried to rob a bank.

This man said...

hand of glory is a passport to Yahweh.

"passport to Yahweh."

Yahweh is in Hebrew

the name of God.

In the western world, the purpose of witchcraft is to call genies and demons

to fulfill his own desire.

There also is a case to make his spiritual position higher.

That's what they are trying to achieve.

Of course there is always a risk to do the ritual.

Because it calls an existence that is beyond human understandings.

An existence beyond human understandings

Please take a look at the following part.

Please watch with the slow motion.

Living together: latter half

This is Ms. Kaori Tanaka who presented this video.

Her younger sister Mariko is suffering from the damage caused by spiritual phenomena and started living together with a psychic.

Kaori-san worried about it and visited her at her apartment for them to break up.

But during the discussion, something unusual occurred.

Please watch the rest.

Are you deceiving her?

No.

I'm not asking you. I'm asking him.

What do you say?

What is this?

Mariko, are you alright?

A change could cause a bad influence, so please be calm.

I am calm.

-Is this how you are deceiving her? -I don't know what that is.

You don't know what it is. But you're the one who's doing this.

Stop doing this!

Cut it out!

Disgusting! If you stay here, I'll call the police!

I'm serious.

Mariko, calm down.

It's not your fault. You're misunderstanding.

It's all his fault!

The lights of the room are gone.

The sound of chime...

There must be someone else.

Who is this?

We can stand only for 10 minutes more...this is so dangerous...

Intuitively...

I thought something is wrong.

I started thinking...

what he says might be true.

So we moved to the bedroom as he suggested.

What was that?

What's going on?

Hey!

Quick!

Quick!

What are you doing with this?

What are you doing?

Don't.

Don't leave this room until I give you a sign.

Tanaka sisters are left in the bedroom.

Some ten minutes have passed in strange silence.

A light from the other room...

Kaori...

Mariko...

It's alright, come out.

Kaori...

Mariko...

Come out.

Come out.

Mariko, "Dad..."

Mariko, "Mom..."

Kaori, "That's impossible."

Kaori, "What do we do?"

At this moment, Kaori-san

fell down and lost conscience.

Normally people think it's impossible...

but I think it was the voices of my parents who passed away.

Then I fainted.

And when I realized...

I don't know for how long...

Kaori-san regained consciousness.

Mariko.

Mariko.

Kaori-san

decided to look outside the room.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

The lights came back to normal.

Mariko!

Mariko, wake up!

Mariko?

Mariko-san disappeared.

Mariko.

Where are you?

Mariko!

I don't know, but...

all of a sudden, the man and Mariko disappeared.

Of course I reported to the police.

I talked to them what happened.

But they didn't believe me at all.

The Police only told me that they would come back shortly.

Since then, her younger sister Mariko

is missing.

Kaori-san showed us the following thing.

Please take a look inside.

Is it ok to touch this?

Red Japanese paper cut off in the shape of a human.

The paper doll which Kaori-san picked up

seems much like the paper doll once used by diviner for the curse magic in Heian era.

This paper doll is to get rid of bad spirit.

Mainly used as the scapegoat.

I don't know how it is relevant to this case.

To make this paper doll as a scapegoat,

he escaped from his crucial situation?

What were the strange phenomena that attacked them?

Kaori-san asked us to publish this video.

So that she might find out where Mariko-san is and who this man is.

Few months have passed since we interviewed Kaori-san

when we got a call from her.

She is asking the police to search her sister

but Mariko-san is still missing.

I just can't keep going on this way.

The other day...

I thought of vacating Mariko's apartment.

I went there to clean.

When I was cleaning the room...

I found out her photo album.

In this album...

I found something that are hard to believe.

There are many photos of my sister.

Since when she was small until very recent.

In many of them...

that man shows up.

What does it really mean?

The man whom my sister was living together with.

The man I saw.

The same man.

Looks exactly the same.

To our surprise,

in many of the pictures of Mariko-san since when she was so small until very recent,

a person who seems to be that man also unexpectedly appears.

And that, most spookily,

in every picture with him, he looks just the same and no changes as Kaori-san knows.

After few days from this interview on the phone,

Kaori-san sent us all the pictures in question.

The pictures you will be looking at

are few of them among all.

Kaori-san who desperately wanted to know the truth

has been introduced a psychic and visited him.

What he told me was...

most likely, it was our parents that my sister has been haunted.

Your father and mother haunted your sister...

When Tanaka sisters were hiding in the bedroom

the shadows talked to them.

And that it seems my father and mother came to help my sister.

To help her...

what does it mean?

I don't really know, but...

It was that man...

who originally haunted my sister.

And that since when she was a child.

The psychic told me...

that man defeated my parents.

He chased them off.

And then he completely came into my sister.

He came into her...

Honestly speaking, I don't know what to believe.

I can't explain.

I'm really confused.

The psychic explained that

Mariko-san is too late to be saved.

Mariko! Wake up quick, Mariko!

This man whose looks has strangely changed...

Who is he?

Continuously being investigated.
