i swear on anything holy this is a true story.
in high school i had a friend named megumi who
was an exchange student from japan. she had
transfered from a school dedicated to the arts.
one night when we were having a sleep over, she
told me a bizzare story that happened in her
school. one night, she and some other
classmates were rehearsing a play and taped it
because they wanted to check for imperfections.
everything had gone smoothly. when they were
watching the video, about at the midpoint of the
play, they saw an opaque sillouette of a body
drop from the ceiling. after dangling and swinging
for a few minutes, the body stopped and looked
into the camera. i told her it was quite a story, but
i couldn't believe it. she told me she would show
me the video later. six months went by, and she
was about to return to japan. before she left, she
told me she would keep her promise of showing
me the video. she pulled out a video cassette and
we popped it into the vcr. it seemed normal, just a
group of japanese kids performing, laughing, and
having a good time. then, she covered her eyes.
i looked at the screen and i saw a body drop and
dangle. i screamed and jumped. it was so
uneasy to see a body dangling and twirling, yet
see teenagers going about their bussiness. it
looked like a boy dangling. then, just like megumi
said, after a few minutes, the body stopped and it
seemed to look directly into the camera, with a
melancholy look on his face. we stopped the
video and she started crying. she said she had
always feared having to watch the video again.
after she calmed down, she wanted to burn the
video. she said even the second time, she felt the
same feelings of fear and terror, and couldn't bare
to do it again. so we burned the video. i couldn't
sleep for almost a month after watching it.
two years after she told me about her video
encounter, the ring came out in japan. about five
years later, it was released in america. needless
to say when the movie came out and i saw it, i
was horrified and again became sleepless. take
my words for what they are, but it was a true story.
