A classic urban legend
Four college students belonging to a hiking club became lost in a snowy mountain.
They walked and walked, until they caught sight of a little cabin in the midst of the raging snowstorm.
To protect themselves from the snowstorm, they went inside the cabin.
However, it seemed no one had been to the cabin for a long time, and there was nothing inside to warm themselves with.
As the night descended, the temperature began to drop rapidly.
If they fell asleep, they would freeze to death for sure.
It was then that they came up with a game which would ensure they stayed awake.
First, each person had to stand in each corner of the room.
Next, one person had to run to the person who stood in the next corner, and touch his body.
Then the person who was touched in turn had to run to the next corner and touch the body of the person there. The touched person of course had to repeat the same thing.
So they repeated this game on and on, in the darkness, until the day broke.
The following morning they were found by a rescue party and managed to go down the mountain.
When they returned to their college they met up with the other students in the club, and told them what had happened.
But after they had finished talking, they noticed that one of the students who had been listening to their story was looking very perplexed.
This student said to them,
"But...isn't that an impossible game to play? If each of you stood in one corner and the first person ran to the next corner, there would be no one left in the first corner. Then the game would have to stop there - unless of course you had a fifth person."

thanks for your hardwork saya
I think the 5th person in this game is actually a nice "person"(?), because they're willing to help accomplish an impossible game for all night long, so the students can survive the night.
This story feels so heart warming Saya san, at least for me :)
Even though I'm new, I appreciate the work you put into your posts Saya, thank you!
I've been following your blog for a long time now, but this is the first time I venture to leave a comment.
Your blog gives me life, thank you for your hard work Saya ♥
Bu I'm glad that narrator and his friends did not realize about the 5th 'person'.
They're already miserable, to feel scared on top of that would really be terrible for them.
So, I'm glad it was a nice ghost that joined them that night.
nunu
I tried it with my friends and just before last person run to the supposed empty corner, he got possessed.
Maybe it's the game, or maybe the room we're using to play is haunted. idk.
I have heard this tale before (despite being in a faraway country than yours LOL) but the version is a bit different.
In the one I heard, five students went hiking when the storm struck, and one of them died from the freezing. The rest is pretty much the same with your story, that the four left alive played this game in order to stay awake, aided by the ghost of their dead friend.
and have 4 corner each...
this story try manipulating people brain to scare..
Then I realize something 4 people and 4 corner they can play until it morning but if they had 3 people then it's a ghost story..
just suggestion..
If ya'll wants to know, it's basically the same, but omitting the story and is played with 3 people in a four-cornered (dark) room. they go corner to corner to tap a person's shoulder (to indicate them to go) and when passing an empty corner, cough and continue. and it's said to summon a 4th person (a ghost?) because eventually the players will notice that there is no longer any coughs while playing the game.
i was delighted to see this story actually, it brings back such good memories :)
In addition to what has been written, we would ensure that all windows are closed, and there was only one door opened.
A candle was lit in the middle of the room, and we proceeded to "play", walking at a decent pace but not too fast to generate wind.
If the candle's flame suddenly goes out, that means a "friend" rushed into the "fifth" person's position to join the game.
