This is an eerie story that has been going on for about two months since I moved into my current home.
I had gotten the home of my dreams and was excited about the new life with my wife and two-year-old daughter.
When I was having a home party with my friends, they told me that, “Your daughter is smiling a lot. Maybe she likes her new home.”
I was enjoying the peak of happiness.
My daughter is very shy and I was honestly worried that she might get sick living in a new place, but as my friend said, she has been in a good mood since we moved.
I wondered if “my daughter had grown up a little.”
I was not concerned about the change at that time.
However, my daughter’s behavior clearly started to become strange.
In an empty space, she would follow something with her eyes, or suddenly smile in a startled way.
When this happened not just once or twice, but on a daily basis, it seemed to make my wife wonder.
“What’s so funny? I don’t have the TV on or anything.”
We became increasingly concerned.
I didn’t think it was possible, but I had occult thoughts.
I had never really believed in spirits, but something happened that made my fears come true.
While I was working at my office, I received a phone call from my wife.
“My daughter, who was playing by herself, disappeared.”
My wife was already in a state of panic and tearful.
She told me that she had not gone out and suddenly disappeared inside the house.
Normally, I would not have believed such a thing.
It would be understandable if she had been lost on the road, but would anyone believe her when she said she was at home with me and disappeared?
And moreover, my daughter is still too small to leave the house alone and go out to play.
I called my panicking wife to calm her down and tried my best to convince her that I would be home soon from work.
My boss seemed to sense the danger in my situation, and as I was about to leave the office, I received a call from my wife again.
“There was my daughter. Nothing has changed from earlier, she is playing the same way, alone.”
Her voice was trembling.
In the end, I left work as it was that day and asked my wife about the situation in detail.
My daughter was playing by herself. “I looked everywhere in the house for about 20 minutes and didn’t see her.”
From the look on his face and the tone in which he was explaining the situation, it didn’t sound like he was joking.
I had a nasty sweat running down my spine.
I discussed this situation with my friend.
Ask the house builder when they built the house if there was anything wrong with the land in the past.”
So, I decided to ask the sales representative at the time to look into the matter.
Then, a report came out that a family who had lived on a nearby lot about 30 years ago had committed a forced suicide.
The family members and their daughter were about the same age as we are now.
I guessed that they had moved to the area with happiness in their hearts, but the family had been swept away by the bursting of the bubble economy at the time and had taken their own lives together.
For some reason, my wife and I both felt strangely convinced when we heard what had happened.
When I think of the family members who died by forced suicide, I am filled with sadness.
I wonder how much they suffered until they made the decision to take their lives….
Although we had no knowledge of such things as exorcism, we decided to offer incense and join our palms to the deceased every day. Then our daughter’s strange behavior stopped.
Even now, we continue to offer incense and join hands every morning as a custom in our home.
Everyone wants to be happy.
However, we should not forget that behind the happiness, there might have been someone who suffered or had some misfortune somewhere.
