Honto ni Atta! Noroi no Video: Special 2

A "Honto ni Atta! Noroi no Video" expanded special edition! Includes horrifying and terrifying ghost-provided videos! The Japanese archipelago shakes. The gold standard of ghost documentaries. 1. 'Shiroi kimono no on'na' The spirit of the woman in the white kimono still appearing...? The floating ghost riot should have subsided again.... Is it the same spirit as the one in the video? 2. 'Matsuri' A video of an Awa Odori festival held at a neighborhood association where the provider used to live. In the light of a streetlight, there is a shadow that looks like an old man's face.... 3. 'Ame michi' A video of a camera rolled from inside a car to capture a rainbow that happened to appear when the provider went on a trip. A mysterious wrist is in the side mirror.... 4. 'Game' A video casually filmed a person playing a video game when the provider was in middle school. On the screen is a woman's face that is clearly unrelated to the game's production.... 5. 'Haikyo' A video provided by a duo of men exploring and filming an abandoned building. An abandoned hospital where there is a rumor that a boy once committed suicide by throwing himself.... 6. 'Jesa' A video of a Korean ritual called Jesa. There is a low male voice that sounds like "Sufa".... What exactly does Sufa mean? 7. 'Banpaku' A picture of an Expo taken by the provider's father on 8mm film. There is a mysterious shadow in the part shot while looking down at the ground from the ropeway.... 8. 'Gasshuku' At a sports club training camp in 1993. A girl's face, distorted by anguish, was shown in the room.... Could it be the earthbound spirit of a girl who committed suicide...? 9. 'Dôro' A surveillance camera for traffic enforcement. At night, the traffic is heavy, and there was an unresolved hit-and-run accident.... 10. 'Shiroi ashi' A video of a child playing with Japanese dolls taken when the provider went home. Small white legs are behind him.... Furthermore, what was the fear that attacked the staff who visited the scene? 11. 'Kekkonshiki' A video of a couple's wedding that should have been full of happiness. Among the voices of the attendees giving congratulatory remarks, a woman's voice said, "Kaeshite".... 12. 'Organ' A recording video of the provider practicing the organ for a school competition. There shouldn't be anyone other than the person who provided it, but there's a mysterious face by the other side of the keyboard.... 13. 'Taki - Shiroi kage' A video taken when two women went to a waterfall to play. The spirit of a woman in a white kimono is glaring at them from beyond the flowing water of the waterfall. Is this a coincidence or...?
