    A 16-year-old hunter, familiar with the wilderness of Maine, embarks on a routine hunt with his father and grandfather. As night falls, an unexpected snowstorm separates him from his family. Alone, lost, and struggling against the elements, he begins hearing something strange—his own voice calling back to him. Then he sees it—a tall, gaunt figure lurking behind the trees, watching… following… mimicking him. In a desperate attempt to scare it away, he fires his rifle, but the entity remains undeterred. As the silence stretches, the whispers grow louder. Something isn’t right. When his father’s truck finally roars to life in the distance, salvation seems within reach. But as they drive away, one final glance into the dark reveals the truth—something is still watching him. To this day, the boy wonders—what followed him that night?

  • Zashiki Warashi: The Invisible Guest
    Mar 16 2025
    It begins with small, unexplained movements—a cup that shifts on the table, a sliding door that opens on its own. Then come the sounds—soft footsteps echoing through empty hallways, quiet laughter in the dead of night. You never see the child… but you feel its presence. You are not alone. This is the legend of Zashiki Warashi, Japan’s ghostly child spirit. Unlike most supernatural beings, these yōkai are neither purely good nor evil. They choose the homes they inhabit—and their presence determines whether fortune or ruin follows.
