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.
