This is like a materialised ghost

I thought she was going to attack the car, but she just keeps standing there. That makes it even creepier.

She'll teleport into the car before they even know it

Epilepsy? A transient disorder of consciousness?

An epileptic seizure can be mild or serious, but either way isn't it always accompanied by convulsions?

They usually happen, but if it is absence seizure convulsions and falling down do not happen.
But in case of epliepsy you don't remain unconscious for long, so I don't think it's epilepsy.
Perhaps she is sleepwalking?

That is not always the case. You may feel groggy or your body may feel extremely rigid after an eplieptic fit.

They are so kind not to honk the horn

Of course they won't
She might start attacking them suddenly

She appears to be shaking her head in sync with music.

Clearly she is a yokai. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C5%8Dkai)
Real yokai do appear sometimes.
You know like the one who goes into a ditch or the one who keeps licking feet.
She is one of those kind of creatures.

It's scary how she doesn't even look in this direction after the car runs past her

It would be scarier if she turned to look this way

44: Anonymous 2018/11/11(Sun) 23:17:40.46 ID:g2gVthYr0
What happens if you run over her?
Imagine her looking still impassive even after having been run over. That would be really creepy.

In google street view, she is standing at a different place in the same car park.
I wonder if she is waiting for someone.

The same woman will be standing at the next traffic light

Creepy but I am going to go with Performance artist but I will not rule out a tanuki playing with us.
Haem said…
Watching the woman in the video while driving would make me feel uneasy, wasn't there any kind of authority for ask her to move? What would have happened in that case? I'm really curious about what happened after the video haha.
Hemu said…
there is the need for a police ghost, this ghost lady needs to be lecture for being a public anxiety factor
CY said…
I had come across a few like that when I was driving as well. Especially at intersections. My first thought would be mental illness and will require assistances from social workers.
Diogo Valverde said…
I'm also guessing it's mental illness, possibly catatonic schizophrenia, but it is quite spooky! That would make me feel just a little bit unsettled it if happened to me.
CreanJinSung said…
That's just a sim waiting for instructions.

OR

I remember when my friend was afraid because I was just sitting and staring at nothing. When she told me about it the next day I thought I was asleep that time because I remembered nothing.

Someone calls Gegege no Kitaro, quick!

Hi there Saya! It's been a long time since I visited your page. If I will saw a woman in the middle of the streets like that, I will freak out!
Mon said…
Oh dear; I went and clicked on the wikipedia article listed for Rokurokubi... my daughter when she was a bit younger used to complain of being haunted by the "stretchy neck lady" at night; who apparently appeared to her, stretched her waaaaay too long neck so her face was right up against my little girl's; and then would lick her. I just thought it was an over active imagination - now? I'm not so sure - and I'm feeling creeped out!!

"could be a woman-shaped vehicle that is parked there" LOL
Gabriel said…
That's just very unnerving, I'd have gotten really anxious if I was in the car (or driving it). I'll hazard to say she's probably sick or ill, she just looks too human to be a youkai/monster despite her behavior! (or maybe that's what they want me to think)

But I got some serious chills from those pictures of the lady in street view. I've once read that if something gives us the chills just by looking at/thinking about it, it's our sixth sense warning of danger (I think it was in this blog actually!). So if that's right - the one in street view definitely has something very off about her.

Thanks a lot for your hard work, and for bringing those videos and stories to us!! Take care and stay safe.

I'm so happy you're back, Saya! I've been rereading all of the old posts, and I was wondering if you're planning on translating any more stories from the "My Master" series? No worries if not - I love literally everything you post and am grateful for all of it. I just forgot how much I enjoyed that particular series. ^^
Tanuki would look a bit like you in the profile picture! XD

I think we may have some tanukis on my house's premises, because my houses's security cameras have caught images of little creatures that look very similar to tanukis. LOL. My house by the way is surrounded by woods.
I don't know what happened afterwards but surely someone must have called the police! XD
Oh no how unfortunate you are! Traditionally intersections are one of the favourite places for spirits to gather round!
I would totally freak out! XD
Oh my. What happened to you? XD Please don't do it in the middle of a road! LOL
Hi! How are you? Thank you for dropping by and leaving a comment!

I like your name, because I am the same XD haha

Oh my goodness! But don't worry Rokurokubi isn't an evil type of yokai, I think! Yokai usually like to just scare people! XD
It's always good to trust your instincts! :D
Oh did I post a story relating to sixth sense before? XD haha I forgot!

Yes the one in street view looks just like Sadako XD

Thank you so much for your comment! It is always a pleasure to hear from you!
Take care and stay safe and be happy too! :D
Thank you dear.

Yes, sure, people have been asking me to translated more stories from My Master series and I have been too lazy! XD But I will, perhaps next month!

Thank you for letting me know your love for the series! :D

I just blacked out that time. It was one of those times when it got really stressful in school.
George V said…
True, they would look like my profile picture.

Oh, please take your time and don't feel obligated! As I said, I'm just happy you're back and giving us awesome translations - I'm content even if we never get a new My Master translation. <3

Have a great day!
Gabriel said…
Oh no, the story wasn't about sixth senses in special, I think it was about a cursed video that you shouldn't watch if you got a bad feeling or something like that :D

Now that you mention it the resemblance is uncanny lol XD!
Aw and thanks, I'm happy to keep in touch whenever I can, too! Also glad to hear that my comments don't annoy you or anything, sometimes I fear it could be like spamming. Likewise, have a blessed and happy week!
Unknown said…
im glad a lot of people went to seizures or other mental problems, because that'd be my first guess. maybe ask her if she needs help, or get some help to move her from the intersection. thats dangerous!

the parking lot lady is pretty interesting to. i like how something just a little unusual can make people scared! although, maybe she was saving a parking space for a friend? hahaha
"saving a parking space for a friend?" haha XD
Unknown said…
in my city (san francisco) parking can be hard to come by in places since it's so small (about 600km), so when i saw her in the parking spot it made me think she was trying to keep it open. people dont do that here or anything, but we do get that desperate for a parking space!
Lain said…
Wait a minute, how come the person who crosses behind her didn't look at her/notice her? Maybe he was minding his business, but if I were crossing the street and saw that woman facing the cars I would have definitely look at her! Also, from the front she looks like she has an abnormal long neck, but as the car drives and you look at her from the side, it looks normal. So weird!
ラテちゃん said…
Goodness. Here in the US I think they would have honked their horn at her or yelled "get the F*** out of the way!!"
Definitely made me go into alert mode I felt heavier and heavier while she was staring I can only imagine how much worse it would be if she was looking directly at me!

Thank you as always for the stories and translations. I love the... "vibe" of 2/4/8/etc ch and I love urban legend type stuff like this, it is soooooooooo nice to feel. I'm sure I've mentioned this before but if you've seen Durarara!! I feel like this reminds me of the $ chat room and also the general sense of sharing urban legends with friends. Gosh I don't know why but it gives me very strong emotions when I think of that or slice of life stuff in general i suppose. UWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
