A man-eating ghost that comes out of the TV!NEW!

Ever since the advent of television, I imagine there have been many children who get glued to videos.

In such an era, you sometimes see scenes where a scary ghost comes out of the TV.

Sadako, for example, is one of those.

Often, the screen turns to static before the ghost appears, and perhaps there’s a moral lesson there about not staying up late watching TV.

It might also be that the unease in our hearts—wondering if it’s really okay to keep doing this—ends up summoning the ghost.

In conclusion

Short scary stories can leave a lingering chill even in a brief moment. There are many ways to enjoy them—reading them together among elementary school kids, or sharing them at a nighttime fun gathering. That blend of fear and a curious sense of enjoyment is the same for children and adults alike. Find a favorite story and savor a slightly chilly moment.
