Does anyone want a house in North ward, Kobe?*2
But there are three conditions:
927 ：Anonymous：2009/02/04(Wed) 09:36:33 ID:9nxs32dV0
>>925 all for free?
Does it have a garage?
930 ：Anonymous：2009/02/04(Wed) 10:46:17 ID:WJyJIS9g0
>>925
Such freaky conditions....
What kind of property is that?
936 ：９２５：2009/02/04(Wed) 15:22:20 ID:oKOysTpy0
The house was renovated 20 years ago
but there's a well in the woods in the backyard, and the well sort of belongs to my grandparents, so my grandmother asked me not to let anyone touch it (it's fenced in, just in case)
If there's anyone here who can live in it until his death and who doesn't go on long trips, I can hand it over to him right away.
So if you think you're the person who can fulfil all the conditions, please come forward. It'd be a great help.
I don't want to give away too much info about the location, but it's somewhere in Tanigami. *5
938 ：Anonymous：2009/02/04(Wed) 15:25:25 ID:oKOysTpy0
Everything is for free, but I don't want to keep ties with the locals,
so I'm not going to give you my contact details after that, *6
but I hope you'll be understanding about it because after all you'll be getting it for free
There's no garage, but it has a huge empty garden so you can park your car there

Please tell us all the downsides

I can just imagine a body being dumped there inside the well
What would happen to the ownership of the land and house?

Oh I see it now
He kills his grandparents, dump their bodies in the well, and hand the land over to someone else, in the hope of obstructing the police investigation
It might be tricky for the police to perform an investigation on the land that belongs to someone who is not the suspect
954 ：Anonymous：2009/02/04(Wed) 15:56:42 ID:oKOysTpy0
Nothing like that is happening. There are no downsides either
Something comes from the mountain at night, it's just so scary it's heartrending
I for one never want to see it again

Interesting really.
-Dest
And the well part is suspicious too
Nothing good Ever comes from wells. Nothing.
hmmm, may be you can be some sort of sacrifice for the mountain thing that took time about three day, then the land and/or property owner could enjoy it without disturbance anyomore
BUT, as always, these are simply speculations of a vividly wild imagination. Therefore, it could also be possible that the dude is a friggin murderer and just wants to evade the law! :P
It still however is unbelievable what diamonds one can stumble upon in 2chan! Oh man, i wish i was better in Japanese!! :) An excellent post, Saya chan, thank you!
Well, a terrible monster can be a very big disadvantage even for a free house
1. The well is suspicious as hell
2. Why did he mentioned his grandma and grandpa? Hmm.. suspicious?
3. Something went down from the mountain, might be a monster or a guardian, but why does he said that the house can not left empty for more than 3 days? I mean, couldnt we just hire someone to keep the lights on when we leave for a trip so it'll feel like someone is in there?
4. The garden is also suspicious. No garage yet a big garden? Hmm...
And I think this house is FIT for a shut-in in japan...
There's nothing wrong in that house...
*no expression*
Maybe the mountain hag comes out at night? YOu know the one that eats travelers.
And comes scratching at the door.
and wont trouble come to the previous owner of the house, usually when something like this goes around the house is either cursed or the residents are targets of said being that haunts the nearby area which could mean that even if he gives the house away the person still could become a targer
"He kills his grandparents, dump their bodies in the well, and ... [etc]"
...I think "Anonymous" hit the nail on the head. If I'd been the OP I would've tried to make it sound more, um, legit. "I'm moving to another country, so I can't keep this house! Rush sale! 60% off the original price." XD
Unless he was double-bluffing and there is, in fact, something horrid living up there in the mountains. In which case, he, uh, still shouldn't have made it sound so suspicious...? o__O Paranormal or not, pretty shady either way! The non-paranormal possibilities sound a lot creepier, actually!
@arshvein: I found this thread in a 2chan archive, and unfortunately this is all I've got!
@Moxie: There's no such thing as a free lunch, as the wise, old saying goes! :D
@Dest: Oh yeah, the story you mentioned is "Jashi." I never made connection between the two stories though. Interesting!
@Prisilia: The weirdest part is that the OP says "it's heartrending" and it's hard to imagine what he saw that made him use the word "heartrending."
@Visser: I've heard so many spooky tales relating to wells. I've just happened to watch an episode from the TV series "Cold Case" where the victim is found dead in a well.
@toyboxed: That's "Jashi" you're talking about, dear.
You could be right, a sacrifice or two may change the situation.
@Tia: I was so expecting everyone to say something like "is that all?" so it's great you find it interesting, Tia. lol
I know of another story where a creature is kept inside an area by a ritual and it can't get out of that area. So your speculation may not be so far off the mark!
You're right, 2chan is full of gems. You can be sure that you will be reading more stories from there not in the far future! :D
@HN3: If it were a Bigfoot the owner of the house could make a profit out of it by taking pictures or videos of it! XD
@Petzie: You summarized it very well, dear.
I wouldn't mind taking the house actually, as I like being a shut-in from time to time XD
@Christian: YOU ARE LYING!! I can tell from your expressionless expression. XD
@Kamen: My dear friend...I beg you, DON'T LOOK BEHIND YOU. I'm not going to tell you why. lol
@Niya: Are you sure? Kobe is a fashionable city, and living there might possibly be quite expensive. You might regret passing up the offer! XD
Ah, man-eating hags appear in folktales of all cultures across time and space, don't they? You get Yamanba of Japan, Baba Yaga of Russia, the evil witch in Hansel and Gretel, to name but a few.
It is no surprise that they appear in forests and mountains, when you consider how nature is connected with the archetypal principle of the Great Mother.
@DonAbad: haha, you're right, the OP isn't very smart XD
Like he expects people to be interested in the property after all the suspicious things he said! XD
Anyway, as for the story, everything is suspicious. This goes to show that everyone should not take things from a stranger especially if it's "free".
...3 is usually the trinity in christian mythos but in japan i dont see the relevance... but most of all if it cant be left unattended for more than 3 days then
1. OP must still be there
2. if he cant get someone to take it then he'll have to deal with it.
3. if in 3 days something comes after the owner then he's really not safe anywhere he goes...
good lord saya this is quite the story you have here
