Himuro Mansion-Urban legend of a horror true story in Japan

Himuro Mansion Urban Legend-
The Himuro Mansion 
I found another interesting Japanese urban legend about a dark history of an haunted house. It seems that there are quite few folklore legends & urban legends that come from their country. So I will be doing a few more from Japan and they find some from other countries too. So I hope to kinda mix it up a bit. I did the 'Aokigahara Forest' which is true when it comes to Urban legends. As for this Urban legend the Himikyru Mansion, this too is actually based on a true story sadly. What it is about is a very dark past of a Japanese Strangling Ritual, Demon tag Ritual, & Binding Ritual. 

These three dark rituals were performed in a hidden room, not shown on the house's original plans. This room is connected to the house by a long lattice corridor that starts at the family and the horrible murders of an entire family who lived there. According to the urban legend, the Himikyru Mansion is was an large traditional Japanese house that is located in a rocky area somewhere on the outskirts of Tokyo. It would seem that horror rituals were performed deep inside the Himuro Mansion. Some of these such rituals were as theRubble Room.
The Great Hall that lead to
the secret rooms
It was said that the Himuro family did these rituals as a duty to keep Hells Gate sealed which they felt was on the grounds by their house. So for many years, the family would take part in these Rituals until --- Kirie's ritual had failed which caused the Calamity. This, of course, was the killing of all occupants in the mansion home and then unleashing the Malice which cured the Himuro Mansion. All within died after that in the house when the curse was unleashed. It was said after that the
This is and a girl that is being prepared
for the Strangling Ritual and the Sacrificial to
protect the family from bad karma. It is done
every fifty years. This young woman is
in the being stages.

Himuro Family Master then killed anyone that was left in the house or who had survived the horror before taking his own life.

According to the urban legend, the Himuro Mansion is a large, traditional Japanese home located in a very rocky area on the outskirts of Tokyo. So it's kinda hard to find. The Mansion has always been famous sadly for the worst mass murder in history in Japan.
The Himuro Mansion was then abandoned for many years as 
Women of the family prepare
the young woman for the
Ritual Strangling Sacrificial 
strage things kept happening to those who came too close to see what happened there or the ones who were curious never came out of the house. Locals became very afraid of the area of the house.
There is one more ritual that this family would do called 'The strangling ritual which involved a sacrificial murder of a young girl every fifty years. The purpose of this gruesome ritual was to protect the Himuro family from bad karma which they believed would emerge from a portal in the mansion's courtyard. By doing this Strangling Ritual-Sacrificial Murder, they felt it would keep the bad karma from destroying the family. This is how the family would plan for the Strangling Sacrificial Ritual Murder to keep their home protected from bad karma and from destroying the family. First they would select a baby girl from within the family and then raise her in secret.
The Sacrifice Room
They would call her 'rope shrine maiden'. The young girl has been kept away from the rest of the world, in complete isolation or else the ritual would not work. When the times comes for the ritual to be performed, the girl has no idea what she is in for and that her life is going to end horribly by the ones that she trusted her own family. They don't tell her what is going to happen to the very day.
The young girl tied down
with the ropes [game picture]
When it does come, they came tapping at her door and dragged her out screaming to the shrine in the courtyard. They tied ropes around her neck, her arms and her legs. Another team of the family would get the oxen and tie the ropes to their necks of each of the ropes in different directions, then kick the oxen's to run in the different ways. This would end the life of the young girl quickly thankfully. So she really doesn't feel much pain of her body being pulled apart, by dying instantly. Then the blood-stained robes were then placed over a portal in the mansion's courtyard sealing the gateway. If the ritual was successful, it would keep the bad karma away fo another half a century --- until they have to do the ritual again in another 50years. For generations, this tradition was passed down through the Himuro family however, the locals were very fearful of it thinking that it would backfire one day.
An folklorist by the name Ryozo Munakata moved in with his family
Himuro Mansion
to study the mansion, but he and his family disappeared, killed by the mansion's cure. Years later, Junsei Takamine and his research team went to investigate the mansion for Takamine's newest work and while working at the mansion, they too disappeared. Which left Mafuyu Hinasaki to the mansion in search of Takamine teams, & to see what happen to them and why they disappeared too. So Mafuyu Hinasaki went to the mansion in search of the Takamine Team, sadly Mafuyu Hinasaki and his team disappeared too.
Mafuyu Hinasaki younger sister, Miku Hinasaki arrives at the mansion & breaks the mansion's curse to rescue her brother.
The Himuro family were said to have practiced the ancient art & forgotten Shinto rituals that had long ago been outlawed in Japan.
As you can probably guess one of these were the occult rituals called, 'The Strangling Ritual' that was involved with the 'Sacrificial Murder'
of a young Girl'. 
The purpose of this gruesome ritual was to protect the Himuro family from bad karma which they believed would emerge from a portal in the mansion courtyard. Called,' The Rope Shrine Maiden'.
Selected from a baby girl within the family of the Himuros and raise in secret & isolations till the time for the ritual to be performed. They the poor girl is killed. If the ritual is a success, as it has always been every 50years, it will keep the bad karma away for generations and this traditions was passed down through the Himuro Family.
However, during the preparations for the last record Ritual in the Himuro Mansion --- something went terribly wrong!
What happened was the 'Rope Maiden', fell in love with a young boy
she happens to see from the high window  from the mansion. It was the first time ever that an 'Rope Maiden' had seen a person outside of the world other than her home plus it happened to be a young man that she fell in love with at first sight.
This was a disaster in the Himuro home because she was supposed to remain pure and free from worldly influences and that was tainted by her seeing the young man through the window.  Her blood and 
spirit were tainted in the opinion to the family and when she was sacrificed, the ritual failed miserably because she was no longer pure. Upon learning of the Maidens Love, the head of the Himuro family became very distraught. He was responsible for the ensuring that the ritual was a success to ensure the family would be safe for another 50years. Fearing that disaster would now befall his family, he went on an insane rampage throughout the mansion.
This is how the true story became real --- the father of the house brutally murdered the entire Himuro family, hacking them all to death with his traditional Japanese sword, 'the Katana'.
He believed that by killing his entire family, he was actually saving them from certain doom. When every family member in the mansion lay dead, he to upon his own katana committed suicide. From that day on the local people in the area and neighboring villages kept quiet about the story of the Himuro Mansion for many decades.
There were many reasons for this; ever since the terrible Murders of the entire family, people around the area reported a variety of weird happenings or inexplicable phenomenon taking place on the property. For example; some of these phenomenon's were --- Bloody handprints and large red stains have been found splattered all over the walls inside the house. The scariest and creepy is the
Ghostly apparitions that have been seen both at night and in broad daylight. It has been said it is the Ghosts of the murdered family members. It is said the Ghosts are attempting to repeat the failed ritual by using whoever is daring or foolhardy enough to enter the abandoned house. This could be why so many people disappear when entering the Mansion never to be seen again. When folks do enter the house and few that are found, they are always found dead, with rope marks on their arms and legs to indicate that they had been bound and pulled about. Others have been found torn to pieces in the underground tunnels of the Mansion that lie deep beneath the house. Nobody knows who made these lengthy tunnels or what their purpose was, however, many do believe that they were made for the Strangling Ritual. Besides all of the horrific things that were found and people disappearing from the house from trying to do research on the why's this is happen well after the deaths of the family. There is quite more going on. They have said if you take a photo of this window at the top of the house an ghostly image of a young girl in a kimono will appear in the developed photograph.
 These incidents have provoked fear once again into the people of Tokyo Japan, and many believe that  those who venture near the house will become cursed. The reasons for this is that there were several deaths of curious folks that went to the house/property 7people to be exact that are still unexplained to this day! 
Some believe that centuries ago on the day of the last Strangling Ritual when the Maiden was bound by the ropes on her ankles, wrists and neck, the ropes after they were attached to teams of the families oxen or horses to rip the poor girl from limb to limb --- basically quartering her. Then after the evil act, the ropes that bind her appendages would then be soaked in her own blood and laid over the gateway of the portal. They all believe that this would seal off the portal for another fifty years until the ritual had to be repeated. But for some reason the last recorded Strangling Ritual, it was said that the maiden had fallen in love with a young man who tried to save her. This 'tie' to the Earth tainted her blood and spirit as the family believed and ruined the ritual altogether. 
I think they were a bit crazy in the heads if you ask me....
Anyway upon learning of the maidens love the master took matters in his own hands with his Japanese Sword an murdered all his family before finally in fear of what would happen to him, he took his own blade to himself.
UPDATE; In the ill-fated Paranormal Searchers in 2009 there was investigation during several cell phone conversations. Dr. Matt Adler had mentioned he had uncovered correspondence linking a one Miyuki Ishikawa to Himuro Mansion. Tha she had lived briefly in the house before moving to Thailand and then finally to Venice, Lousiana. 
In a strange coincidence Dr. Matt Adler, the leader of the 2009 Paranormal Searchers Team, had made that year an announcement that he had discovered the location of Himuro Mansion and had earlier that year ---in 2009---conducted an investigation there.
SADLY ONCE AGAIN: IN 2009 Dr. Matt Adler and his team investigating were listed missing later on that year like all the rest of the investigators.
It is said that the Himuro Mansion is one of the notorious  haunted house in Japan. The mansion became the main setting of the first Fatal Frame Game too in Japan. I heard from doing this Urban legend of a true story --- if you ever decide to play Fatal Frame---careful for  games that are based on true happenings you never know what might happen. I know myself I would never!! think of ever playing the game.

Scarecrows Being Summoned By Who?

Scarecrows Being Summoned By Who?
There were notes on they like;
"You-know-they'll-kill-you-''-guy.'
It would seem that in Japan there are lots of Urban Legends and this is just one, of hundreds in Japan
that I found. Throughout the summer I will be go through the Japan urban legends & many other type of tales for you all. It would seem that most folks focus on a few different spots within the spectrum of the small country of japan but very much populated.  There is also the ancient and regal samurai-style & culture of Japan Of course there is the lifestyle of the hustle and bustle in their huge cities like that of Tokyo. Now imagine hopping off a train some where in the middle of a rustic Japanese town which is bound with rich cultural experiences that you would never quite ever see anywhere else in the world. However, when you wonder throughout the rustic old Japanese town streets, something seems off....to you! The people don't seem to move much. In fact they do move at all! You look at a man resting against a large tree, smoking a cigarette. When you finally realize that he's a scarecrow. As you walk down the street a little more and turn, there is a woman doing chores or at least you thing it is a woman & it turns out to be another scarecrow.
Person putting scarecrows everywhere?
Could be a scary Scarecrow too?
As you continue down the street and walk up to one of the old buildings, you discover it is an one-room-classroom-school-house. The teacher and all the students within the school house are all scarecrows. After seeing all of this you have had enough, so you quickly turn around an run as fast as you can to catch the train back away from the creepy place. However, sadly the train has already gone. Now its just you and those creepy scarecrows and who else is in this creepy town? Welcome to Nagoro Japan, where Stine is having a nightmare more pleasant than the sight before your eyes or what scary thoughts that might be going through your mind.
Once you do get out of the Creepy Scarecrow town. You decided to go to the hall of records, to see what is going on with this place and what you find is very odd & daunting. It turns out its all the work of one woman, Tsukimi Ayano. She has been making the scarecrows for over ten years+, partially as replacement for the towns dwindling population.
The more that you read, you find out that the current ratio of scarecrows to people that actually live in the town is 150 to 35, which is probably the ratio of the sleepless to restful nights of the average Nagoro resident has every year, thanks to the burgeoning scarecrow population.
It was 13 years ago when Ayano first made her scarecrow in her town after the death of her father, it was away of keeping his memory alive. She found that she rather enjoyed making the
Scarecrows and so far she has made over 350, though many of them have been lost to time.
Osamu Suzuki, another resident of Nagoro who has watched the villages population slowly drop over the years, said that the scarecrows are 'indeed something to bring back memories.' They will also create new memories that people won't soon
Forget, no matter how hard they try.

Well, I hope that you all enjoyed the tale of the Scarecrows
It was just as fun for myself. I hope you all have a lovely day.

THE MYSTIC HOUNDS OF THE ANCIENT CELTIC

THE MYSTIC HOUNDS~
In this post I will bring you into the sacred world of the Celts my dearest friends,followers, supports and 
 reader's too! I'm going to cover the world of the mystic Hounds that are mostly connected to the Celtic other world. It is said in the Ancient world of the Celtic, 'of all the hounds he had seen in the world, had seen no dogs the colour as these were. Their colour was an brilliant shining white & their ears as red as some say as blood.' King Pwyll of Dyfed was right to wonder about these strange dogs, for their master as Arawn(note I have done a post on Arawn & it is at the bottom of this in the purple color link)
http://wendyjargonncom.blogspot.com/search/label/Arawn%20Celtic%20God%20of%20the%20Underworld
Arawn was the ruler of Annwn, the magical other world of the
Celtic Dogs were among the most often type of animal that was connected with the Celtic at the time of the ancient Celtic. These Mystic hounds may be the harbingers of death, as the red-eared hounds of Annwn. Some have said the colour Red is associated with death too. However these legends and traditions were many centuries ago in the Celtic counties of Ireland, Scotland and Wales. In the Celtic tale of Da Derga is said to possess a pack of nine white hounds. They have said that white is another colour that indicates the supernatural in the world of the Celtic.
The Celtic dogs were also believed to have magical healing qualities. It has been suggested that this is because they heal their own wounds by licking them, but for whatever reasons they are commonly found at Celtic healing sanctuaries too. It would seem that at one sanctuary,at Lydney in Gloucestershine. No fewer than nine canine images have been discover as offerings to the British Gods Nodens.
They have also found many dog skeletons at sites in areas to Wales,
 Ireland and Scotland which suggests that they were involved in the
 virtual of these sacrifices, that were possibly associated with the afterlife and the otherworldly. So there are many things that are truly quite amazing that have happened all around this beautiful Earth of ours in all different cultures around the would. And I have only partly touch it in the 3years I have been blogging and writing in the Ning.com sites too. I hope that you all enjoy my stories,
 legends, research on true stories and ancient legends and factual stories too. Of course the scary Urban legends are fun too, with a bit of my life. I love you all and I will see you soon.

THE GREEN LADY OF WAHIAWA

The Green Lady of Wahiawa Hawaii~
THE LADY GREEN
Good evening my dearest Friends, Supporters, Followers and Readers of my humble blog, I thought I would bring you to the Islands of Hawaii for my next Urban legend. As I was telling in my last post I would try to find different urban legends/folktales of different countries. Since Hawaii is close to my heart being that my family on my husband side lives there it is fun to do. I have found two different version of the tale. So it really depends on which legend you believe. The first tale is said to be of a woman who would visit, the gulch of Wahiawa, which also contains the botanical gardens of Wahiawa with her only child. However, one day while visiting her only child became lost in the botanical gardens of Wahiawa and sadly never to be found again. How how the tale goes as the Green lady is this; To this day, the mother of this child still wonders in the gulch looking for her child & will take any child that she comes across into the gulch. 
Green Lady
Over the years, there have been several reports of seeing the green woman that has been said to be covered in moss or mold wandering in the gulch. Others have said that the Green Woman closely resembles that of the Japanese Mythological creature called the Kappa. If you are curious about the Japanese Mythological creature Kappa I looked on my blog and I found that I did a small post on the creature. at the link below you can read about it and others...hag-fairies.html 
This creature is said to resemble a turtle-like humanoid that steals children to feast upon. They say the last known sighting was to have been in the mid to late 1980's.
Today in modern times, children and even teenagers dare each other to cross the bridge that runs over the gulch at night. So if you are very brave at night- between 9am-4pm at the old Botanical Gardens you might see The Green Lady.
Ghosts of the Noble Lady's'
of Scotland were much less creepy
Then there is the second version; In this version of the Green Lady, she is more of a ghost an is very specific specter from Hawaii. Now there are other Green Lady Ghost that are usually from Scotland that inhabit castles and are called the Green Ladies, However, these Ladies of the Castles of Scotland  are truly White Ladies despite the color differecne.---plus their spirits are of noble womanhood that haunt the castles they once inhabited. Noted too, there is no real difference other than the color to the apparition of this woman too.

However, the Hawaiian Green lady is quite a differnt  and is very chilling compared to the noble woman of Scotland.  The legend goes as this which is a bit different than the first version. She, of course, was a normal mother who enjoyed taking her children [no one knows how many she had]to the Wahiawa Botanical Garden in Honolulu. She  & her children would cross the gulch in Wahiawa instead of taking the  bridge, for reasons that the mother was afraid the cars would strike and kill her children.[Never knowing her doom would be by taking her cross the gulch would cause her great pain and suffering.] Well, one night it happened, on their way back home the children became separated /lost from their mum. The mother could not find them in the gulch, no matter how hard she tried.
After searching and searching, the mother went looking for help. Sadly no one would help her look for her beloved children. One could only image how it felt when no one would help her find her children. What was going through her mind?
So the mother went back into the gulch alone never to be seen again along with her children. Ever since that faithful day, there were sightings of a ghostly Green woman haunting the gulch. She wasn't just green, it was covered in vines & grass, which resembled a shambling marsh monster more that a green woman ghost. This spirit which looked more like that of mucky plant life than that of a ghost of the mother, still looking for her children lost forever in the gulch.
The grief that she held to her heart all those years of losing her beloved children & not getting any help at the time when there might have been a chance to find them runs deep in her soul with the locals. So to help with that grief, she would steal away any child who come within reach of the gulch. And that child is never seen again.
Crazy, as it is Children and teens in the area of Wahiawa, will sometimes dare one another to run across the bridge to see if they get a glimpse of the Green Lady. However, they say the Green Lady will never come up on the bridge to take children so they think it is safe. Is the question it?
Some have said the Green Lady has been seen on the outskirts of Wahiawa Elementary School, which is located on the edge of the Gulch----So are the children Safe?
Another very important characteristic of the Green Lady that will come in handy if you are alone and you feel an odd energy in the air and a really bad smell of decaying plant matter, beware! This could mean that most likely She is very close. Her body is covered in decaying plant matter and it covers her entire body. So it often easy to tell if she is around by the horrible odor. She also has scaly skin and sharp claws. So I hope that you all
Enjoyed finding out about another legend in
Hawaii of the Green Lady of Wahiawa.
It's kinda sad one by alot of these Urban legends
and folklores are. However I thing they quite 
interesting myself 
Much Love

Tanning or Cooked~

Tanning or Cooked-
Good afternoon my dear friends and followers today I am bring you all a post that might
make you think twice about the tanning salon. Besides the fact that these tanning beds can cause skin cancer at a much faster rate. So this is how the tale or urban legend goes my dear friends & followers. I hope you enjoy the tale. It was basically about a young woman who was going to be in a wedding, however she was very unhappy with her pale skin and wanted to look good for the wedding. For me, I was very happy at my wedding 18-years ago and I was quite the pale skin bride. But I guess everybody has their own idea of what beauty is.
So as the tale goes, the young woman in the wedding party decided to go to the tanning salons. Since there was a 30-min limit per-day on all tanning salons, she visited several each day. This was to try to increase the speed up the tan in the shortest time possible. So that she would have a glowing tan by the time of the wedding.
After several weeks of going to many different tanning salons, she noticed that she wasn't feeling very well and even after taking a bath she couldn't get the foul odor that was about her body to go away. So she decided she had better go to the doctor and get check-out before the wedding which was only in a few days.
She was able to make an doctor appointment that very day, After the doctor examined her and did a number of special tests, The doctor discovered through the number of tests, that all those visits to the tanning salons each day , had slowly cooked her internal organs.
This happened by the over use of the exposure to the tanning rays the doctor told her and the odor that she was smelling was actually her rotting organs. Sadly the doctor told her because of this foolish act she had just two weeks to live.
Well, my dearest friends & followers I did check this one out and it seems that it is one of those old urban legends. Even though it is an urban legend it is a story of great warning to these tanning beds. They can cause lots of harm in other ways if your not careful about it.
The Ultraviolet rays that come through these lights in these tanning beds are the same as the sun so hence skin cancer. So you have to be careful when getting that tan.
I hope you enjoyed this post, my dears love you all 
YOUR WENDY
