Here are a couple of spooky stories about some ghosts - I thought they were interesting tales!

This first one is about a city where a good friend of mine lives, so I wonder if he's heard this legend before?

Ahhhh, the legend of Resurrection Mary! Just thought I'd chime in on this one. I don't live all that far from there and actually have some relatives buried there. This ghost story is very famous around these parts and although many people claim to have seen or even picked up Mary hitching a ride, to this day it's still just a myth. I've never seen anything driving down that way and no one I know who has been there looking for her has ever seen anything either.... but it does make for a great story. Resurrection Cemetery is one of the few cemeteries I'm aware of that leaves their gates open all night which makes it a prime place for people to visit late at night around this time of year.

This is an interesting legend about a haunted location outside of Tokyo.

Um.. that is the game called "Fatal Frame" and the images are from the game.

Awesome game, tho.

Actually I believe the game was based on the legend described by the creator:

Chief producer of Fatal Frame, Makoto Shibata, described the inspiration for the game’s haunted house, "In an area outside Tokyo, there lies a mansion in which it’s said seven people were murdered in a grisly manner. On the same property, there lie three detached residences that surround the mansion, all of which are rumored to have ties to the mansion’s troubled past. It’s said there is an underground network of tunnels that lay beneath the premises, but nobody knows who made these tunnels or what purpose they served. Many inexplicable phenomenon have been reported occurring on the property. Bloody hand prints have been found splattered all over the walls. Spirits have been spotted on the premises… even in broad daylight. A narrow stairway leads to an attic where a spirit-sealed talisman is rumored to be locked away. Men have sought this talisman, only to be found later with their bodies broken and rope marks around their wrists. There’s a crumbling old statue of a woman in a kimono, and then it has no head. If you take a photo of a certain window, a young girl can be seen in the developed picture. These incidents have provoked fear in the people of Tokyo, and many believe that those who live near this area will become cursed. The deaths of those seven people are unexplained to this day."

Whether it is just hype or an actual legend, it was still intriguing.

I don't know why, but the idea of a haunted/possessed sofa made me laugh.
