| Abandoned Apartment |
I heard this from my cousin.
There are several quite famous haunted places in our area, and one of them is a small apartment building in which (it was rumoured) someone committed suicide a long time ago.
Because of the decrease in population in the area, the apartment building is now empty and abandoned (but quite clean).
My cousin and his friend went there, looking for a bit of spook and shiver.
They had heard that the room in which the suicide took place was on the first floor, but they didn't know exactly which room it was.
Once they were inside the building, they tried to enter all the rooms but most of them appeared to be locked.
But they found one door which was open. They didn't immediately go in but went on to check all the other rooms and, having found all the others locked, came back to this room.
Fearfully they opened the door ----
---- but found nothing inside.
Nothing happened to them while they were in there either.
Disappointed, they left the apartment.
When they came out of the entrance, they passed by a group of teenage boys.
"They must have come to play kimodameshi (a test of courage**) too."
Just as they thought that, they heard a piercing scream of a woman from the apartment building.
"Hmm? Did those boys have a girl with them too?"
They wondered, and got into their car and drove to the nearest convenience store to chat over coffee.
Not long after that, the boys whom they had passed by at the apartment came into the store too.
My cousin noticed that there were only boys and no girls in the group.
"Didn't you take a girl with you?"
He asked the boys.
"No. It's only us who went there. "
The boys replied.
Hmm? My cousin was puzzled.
Then they went on to talk about the apartment.
My cousin asked the boys:
"I was surprised only one of the rooms was open at the apartment!"
"Huh?"
"I mean there was only one room that we could enter. Didn't you guys go in there and have a look?"
"We did, but..."
The boys looked at one another, looking confused.
"When we went to the apartment, only one room was locked. All the other rooms were open. "
My cousin said that he had goosebumps all over his body when he heard this.

** Kimodameshi (γγγ γγ or θ試γ; lit. "test one's liver"),[1] or test of courage is a Japanese activity in which people explore frightening, and potentially dangerous, places to build up courage. (Wikipedia)
Kimodameshi is often played in the summer, possibly because that is the time when we celebrate Obon and spirits temporarily return to this world.
(Also people tell each other ghost stories to feel cooler in the hot weather π✨)

I like this kind of story and it somehow reminded me of this story π✨:

Hope you had a great rest :D
The story is not exactly scary. However, it's seriously disturbing.
I can't help but think that the lady ghost actually got something sinister planned for them.
But then the narrator's group left and a new group came. Thus, messing up her plan and made her angry.
That scream was a scream full of frustration and anger.
There was a very popular mall in my town when I was younger. But then somebody committed suicide by jumping from the roof. Since then its popularity slowly dwindled and other malls are now overtaking it. The mall now has a great marketing team. So it may not be as popular as the other malls, but it's still operational and are still pulling in customers.
Thank you for the story, Saya-san. Looking forward for more.

It's unfortunate when someone decides to take their own lives, especially in public places.π ⭐

Anyway glad to see you again. Thanks for your stories!
Thank you so much for commenting! I appreciate itππ✨
I hope you have some time to relax now!
There are so many stories where people who commit suicide cannot leave this world entirely, and it seems a bit unfair and cruel to me considering that the reason they killed themselves was often to end suffering.π Why should they suffer so much after life too?
