A group of four close friends went to a famous local haunted place by car, in the middle of the night, to do kimodameshi (a test of courage **).
The haunted place was a tunnel, and, true to its reputation, it had an eerie atmosphere; the street which led to it was dark, with hardly any street lights.
When they arrived there, they got out of the car and walked into the tunnel, carrying just one torch with them.
They were a little scared at first, but they soon got used to being in there.
They said to one another:
"This is not scary at all! We heard this was one of the worst haunted places but we don't see or feel anything in here!"
Nothing really happened, so they soon returned to the car to go back home, but the one who was driving wouldn't start the car.
So one of the others asked, "what's the matter?"
The driver replied, asking in return,
"Hey, we are friends, aren't we?"
The others wondered why the person suddenly asked such a question, but they all answered, "Of course we are! We will all be friends until we die!"
The driver, on hearing those words, shouted, "Then look at my legs! I can't move because these white hands are holding my legs! Please help me!!!"
They all looked down at his legs and saw a countless number of ghastly white hands gripping and holding down his legs, so that his foot couldn't step on the accelerator. When the other three saw it, even though they had sworn to be his friends until they died, they ran away immediately, leaving the hapless driver alone in the car.
The next day, by the time those three "friends" dared to come back to the place, the car was gone. The driver had disappeared along with the car, and he is still missing today.

Oh well! I hope you who are reading this are blessed with loyal and faithful friends 😆🎵✨
This is a famous urban legend and you might have read it somewhere else. ⭐
There are actually several different versions to the story.
In another version of the story I read, the tunnel was old and covered with ivy. At the end of the story, the friends find the car empty, and the driver missing.
They search the vicinity of the car, and soon find the driver on the side of the tunnel, dead and trapped in the tangle of ivy.

Comments
Anyway, thank you for commenting! I really appreciate your contribution to the blog. You have no idea how much I look forward to your comments 😆🌈💖
I remember this story way back from the 90s, maybe it actually has exist since the invention of motor vehicle, or maybe far even older since the early existence of animal or human powered transportation methods.
I've read countless same stories from all over the world, read many mangas about it, and at least a few films of eastern and western origin.
Then again if it were my car, I doubt the ghosts would even want to get close...let alone get inside... no it's not covered in spirit repeller or contain the equivalent of a dumpsite (I know someone with a very dirty car interior), it's just... and old shitbox seemingly with a mind or mood of its own about when it will cooperate, turn check engine light on, or just straight up won't start :( haha XD
Maybe it will refuse to go to such haunted place in the first place XD
A guy bought a very cheap but working fine older model 2-seater Ferrari which should have cost more since it was a classic, the catch was it was owned by someone who disappeared mysteriously.
One day while driving, the new owner suddenly screamed and frightened to the point he almost had an accident before he was stopped by the police for questioning.
All the guy said was "There's a disfigured bleeding person on the backseat!!"
Now, this is a actually a stupid story because it doesn't make sense, even if you're not a car enthusiast XD
I am glad I was able to post my own version of the story!
Your car seems to be well protected 🤣🌈✨
Thank you so much for your comment!🙏✨
That reminds me of a 2chan thread I was intending to translate but nearly forgot!
Thanks to you I remember it now and I am going to start working on it this week! LOL ✨It will probably be ready to be published this month or next month!
Btw I wouldn't mind driving in that haunted car, because haunted or not, it's a Ferrari 🤣⭐✨
Thank you so much for commenting 🙏🌸✨
This story is extremely depressing. I'm so sad for the driver.
I would like to think that the ghosts let the driver go. And because of the betrayal, he was broken hearted. And thus, he blocked his so-called friends from all his social media and left town to find new friends and happiness.
Ok. I know it's very unlikely.
But hopefully, wherever the driver ended up, he will have a new bunch of loyal friends.
This story reminded me of the story about a haunted tunnel that I read here. A story about a car driving through the tunnel where it suddenly seemed to 'rain'. I really loved that one.
Thank you for this story, Saya-san. And as for the bonus picture, I guess the photographer forgot to apply the same filter or photoshop to the lady's reflection.

It was such a long time ago that I almost forgot the existence of this story 😆💓✨So thank you for that!
I hope that's what happened to him too!😆🧡✨
I think the scariest part of this story is indeed the disloyalty of the friends!
Exactly! The picture was badly photoshopped!🤣✨ That's why I said I hope it won't happen to me! LOL ✨
Thank you so much for your interesting comment!🌸✨🌸✨🌸⭐
-that one anonymous
But don't trust Photoshop! LOL
Good posing,right makeup and lighting would be enough to make you look good!🤣✨
It would be scarier if someone was actually behind the window though! 😆✨
Thank you for your merry comment, good anonymous!✨🌈
And your last question throws us into another reflection. It's easy to condemn those unfaithful friends, but what would we have done if we were one of them? Do we trust ourselves to act in a right way? How faithful and loyal are we to our friends/family/partners? This reveals that the distrust we have of others is really a reflection of the distrust we have of ourselves. We would like to be always good, but we are also humans, and sometimes the urge to protect ourselves overcome the desire to be good.
Thank you so much for your comment 🙏⭐
Has they stayed, they would have gone to heaven together! 🤣🌈🎵
Thank you so much for your comment!
Thank you for translation!
Poor guy. It looks like the friends failed the courage test 😂
I feel sorry because those three unfaithful friends should be the ones who got punished for their unlovely acts.🤣✨✨⭐In Japanese ghost stories, unfortunately, it's usually good guys who suffer misfortunes!
Thank you so much for your comment!🙏🌷✨
Thank you so much for your comment!
seriously though, i feel like three adults could at least try and pull their friend free! or even push the car if it came to it. i cant help but wonder why only the driver was attacked.
Actually, my friends aren't like that! We are all good people. LOL
Perhaps the ghosts thought the best way to make them stay was just attack the driver! 😆✨
Thank you so much for your comment!
