My true story

Ahhh 飽きた！(I am bored to sit down at work.) I am eating this chocolate snack (yummy!!) and thinking how much this light will cost (love it!!)

Converse has its 100th anniversary. Converse Japan has a special campaign, "Catch a Star". You can meet your STAR and wear Converse together on their ad. The campaign has just started so there are only 3 patterns though, I love No2. A little girl met her STAR Gachapin and Muck. I can see the poster (cute!!) in Harajuku Station. Wow, cute! Gachapin appeared on this killer's music video, so he might be world famous??!! By the way, that world famous cat would be used as a href="http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2451103.html" target="_blank">a tool to punish cops in Thailand. Heh he he he. But I don't think Thailand's police filed an application for permission from SANRIO. They must give up the idea soon. I hope someone takes a picture before SANRIO finds out.

It was interesting this real ghost story I had a ghost story too. It was 10 years ago or so when I was living at my parents・home. One day, my mom said to me, "I feel someone or something is in this home. I didn't tell you this because you would be scared, but I wonder if you did sense it." Since my dad, my brother, and I went to work during day time, she stayed home alone. She didn't remember when it started but sometimes she heard someone walking up stairs and sensed someone sitting down in their bed room. She didn't see "it" but she sensed it would be a middle age guy. Around that time, people next door said to her, "Is someone from your family or someone else staying at your home? I saw a guy enter your home often recently." I didn't know anything about it, actually I didn't have anything at home. But a few nights later, it came to me. While I was sleeping on my side in my bed, someone sat down on my haunch bone. Since it is the hard part, it was so painful and I woke up. I didn't open my eyes but I sensed it was a middle age guy and he was harmless. How can I say, I quickly sensed he was just sitting on my bone as if I was a bench or something, and he wouldn't hurt me. But it was painful so I asked him got a move on. (I don't know if I said it actually or said it in my mind.) Then he disappeared. We had some strange but not so scary phenomena for a while. A few weeks later, when my mom cleaned up family shoeboxes, she found a pair of black business shoes. They were for an adult, but the size was so small that my dad or brother could never wear them. She didn't connect those shoes to the strange phenomenon we experienced, and throw them away as garbage without any worry or scare or even a purification ceremony. After she threw them away, the middle age guy disappeared from our house. We thought he went with his shoes. This is true story. :-)

The ghost story was creepy. I just moved from a house where I was living alone for a few years (in Canada). I always felt that someone was walking around but when I turned to get a better look, there was no one there. Sometimes I heard footsteps walking up the stairs at night and stopping in front of my bedroom door.

My sister, who once also lived in this house alone, said she had the same experiences. I thought that we were imagining it, as we must have been scared to live alone in a big house. However, my now husband, when he first visited my house, said that he always saw something walking around the house too when no one else was at home. Creepy!

Anyhow, I enjoy reading your blog and I loved watching the ghost video...more ghost stories please!

whoa.. sugoii~ interesting desu ne.. ^^

We Asian here do have *almost* similar stories such as that. Well, not storied, but experience with it too. hehehe..

Anyway, I just saw on youtube about a famous idol telling stories which is almost the same as yours. About people living in their house and sensing that there is someone else in the house. ^^

Kinda common and not so surprising. :D

Eek! Summer is for ghost stories- right? I think we had a ghost also at an old farmhouse I stayed at in Pennsylvania. I've heard that certain parts of PA like Gettysburg are among the most haunted in the US. I didn't have the experiences you had but a friend and I heard clear footsteps running upstairs and someone trying to open our door when we were alone in that house at least twice. Your story gave me chills!

Yes it was strange experient. But at the moment, the guy sit down on me, I was not so scared. It was just painful memory for me.

Kowaii desu ne Mari-san! Yokatta Mari-san to gokazoku wa daijoubu deshita!

My favorite Japanese ghost story is the one Osaka tells the rest of the girlz (Azumanga Daioh) when they are all at Chiyo-chan's summer house. Osaka sets the mood with a lengthy, spooky set up describing being all alone in her parent's house very late at night. There was a full moon, in the distance a dog was barking...and then she says in her most spooky Osaka voice...

"I woke up in the middle of the night because I had to pee ~ and I smelled a fart that wasn't mine! (@-@)"

That still cracks me up! :)

The NY Times published a longer article about the Thai Police plan to use Hello Kitty armbands for punishment :-)

The article says that 10 armbands have been prepared but that none has been issued yet. In the article, a Thai police officer says that they are scared of how embarrasing it would be to walk with this armband :-)

The article explains that they started with pink armbands but that the shame was not enough :-) ... so they went all the way and found the cat LOL

My Japanese nephew saw a woman in white at the family jikka, which was unoccupied but where the family shrine was. Then a friend of the family who was "psychically attuned" went to the house and determined that the ancestors were upset that the shrine was not being kept neat and organized. My wife went to clean it up. That fixed things, they said.

Of course, I only know Chakushin Ari and Ring, so I would be scared out of my wits if I saw a woman in white.

Aih, that was a scary story! I am reading this at night in my room...oh no....maybe I can't sleep tonight if I think about it.

The idea to punish Thai cop by using the kitty-chan armband is extreamly crazy for me.
