Japan may be "The Land of the Rising Sun", but it's also the birthplace of many disturbing urban legends and folklore. In this video, we'll look at a few of the lesser-known Japanese horror stories that get shared around after sundown. These stories were all collected and translated from the Japanese website "2Chan". How true they are is up for you to decide.
