Hanako-san
If you knock three times on the door of the third cubicle in the shared toilet and ask if she is there, her hand will show up from behind the door. Sometimes it is stained with blood. In general, thanks for the public toilets, but it's better to be patient until home.

Kiyotaki Tunnel
According to legend, the length of this tunnel in Japan varies depending on the time of day. There is a mirror inside, and if you look into it and see the ghost, who sees it, suffering until death awaits.
Akaname
This is a demon that dwells in baths and baths and grabs the feet of those who are being washed with its mouth. Literally translated, his name in Russian would sound like "licking dirt." It is believed that he looks like a goblin and lives only in the houses of those who do not really like to clean and take care of themselves.
Red room
If you hang out on the Internet for a long time, a pop-up window appears in the browser, and a cute thin voice begins to sound in the speakers, which asks over and over again: "Do you like the red room?" Usually those who saw this window were found dead.
Girl from the slit

Kagome-kagome
This is a game in which some children stand with their eyes closed, while others lead a round dance around them, sing a song and try to scare. After World War II, someone misplayed the game, and legend has it that every time it is played now, children's faces become distorted and creepy.
Manga Ibiza
According to legend, in the middle of the night a girl will come up to you and ask: "Do you have a little sister?" Whatever you answer, she will become your annoying "sister", and in the end she will kill you for not becoming her ideal relative. The only way to avoid this is to simply not meet her.
Makura gaeshi
If you sleep alone, a child's spirit may appear next to the bed. When you wake up, you will find that your pillow is under your feet, not under your head. It is the spirit that moves the pillows of sleeping people and sometimes throws sand in their eyes.
Onryo
Onry is a ghost of a woman who is truly capable of harming a living person, especially her enemy. Yes, ghosts can be harmful.
Kashima Reiko
Kashima lives in school toilets, and if you meet her, she will ask questions. If answered incorrectly, she will cut the ignorant in half. Whatever happens, she will appear every month after the first meeting.
Aka Manto (Red Cloak)
According to legend, if you are in a public toilet, there may be two rolls of toilet paper: red and blue. If you choose red, your throat will be cut so that all your clothes are bloody. If it is blue, then you will be choked until your face turns blue. If you say yellow, then you can survive.
Tomino's Hell
This is the name of the poem, and if you read it out loud, terrible things will happen to the reader. If you read it to yourself, everything should be fine, but there are no guarantees. It's simple: you don't need to read this poem.
Hitori Kakurenbo
This can be translated as “hide and kill”. This is a game in which you allow the spirit to possess a doll and then play hide and seek with it. She will almost certainly kill you. One question: why start all this?
