【Hall of Fame】A Collection of Recommended, Substantial Scary Stories Worth Reading
Hall of Fame Scary Stories
The entertainment value is guaranteed, though it may be too well-known for many people to be unfamiliar with it. It tends to be lengthy.
Real
※Currently the top scary story. Contains some self-responsibility-themed depictions. ※閲覧注意
Synopsis:One day, “I” was taught a “ritual to summon supernatural phenomena” by my friend ○○, but on a whim, I ended up performing it. This is the story, told from “I's” perspective, of the supernatural entity that appeared in that instant and the experiences that followed over the next two and a half years. “Real” does not refer to any specific supernatural phenomenon; it could be said to be the very word used to describe this story itself.

Kotoribako
※The Most Malignant Curse-Murder Story
Synopsis:The protagonists stumble upon a “puzzle-like box”. It was the cursed killing box known as the “Kotori Box”.

Creating the box requires the corpse of a child, and the curse grows more potent and enduring with each child used. The name of the box differs according to the number of corpses used,

To be loved by God
Synopsis:The writer recounts being told by a fortune-teller, ‘You won't live long.’ The reason given was that an evil spirit, almost godlike in power, had possessed them.

The Stone Old Man Series Summary
※A series that's genuinely terrifying, though lacking a proper punchline like in Tales of Tōno
Synopsis I'm originally from Shikoku, and I knew someone who ran that “stone-picking business”. He's passed away now, but I heard some rather interesting tales from him. He'd venture deep into remote mountain valleys (though Shikoku's mountains are only moderately remote, haha) in search of stones he could sell for high prices. He said he encountered strange phenomena not only with the stones themselves, but also in those very locations.
