The game of Hitori Kakurenbo

There is a great variety of forbidden games in the world that they claim to be very effective in calling the dead or presences that have never been of this dimension.

However, maybe the best thing is not to know them, because there are very dangerous doors to open, in case your curiosity is still big, let me introduce you to one of the most popular and creepy in Japan.

Hitori Kakurenbo is a ritual that allows you to play hide and seek with a spirit.
In Japanese culture, it is common to believe that the souls of people who die do not always pass to the spiritual plane. Some are left wandering among us waiting for a body they can own. And normally they do not do it with good intentions.

The materials you need to perform the ritual are very simple: rice, a red thread, a knife, salt and water. But the most important thing will be to have a doll. Anyone you have at home can serve you as long as you can get the stuffing.

This is what you are going to do: Before starting the game, look for a safe place where you should hide. Strive to find a difficult hiding place, because that will depend on you leaving the ritual alive.

Once you have it you should leave a glass of water with salt in it as a protection. Salt is a very important element to keep the spirits at bay.

Take the doll that you chose and remove all the filling to replace it with rice. Then cut your nails and put them inside. This will create a link between the doll and you that will ensure that the game is effective.

You must sew it with the red thread and then entangle it in it, as if the thread were your veins, From here begins the dangerous part of Hitori Kakurenbo. Think twice if you want to continue, because once you continue there will be no going back.

Wait until nightfall and make sure you are completely alone in your house. Go to the bathroom and fill the tub with enough water so you can immerse the doll. If you do not have a bathtub, a bucket or any other container in which it fits will suffice.

At exactly three o'clock in the morning, take it in your hands and name it. With any name that is not yours. You will have to repeat the following words: "It's my turn." Say them three times, then say the name you chose and put the doll in the tub.

Get out of the bathroom and turn off all the lights. You can have a light source of light, such as a small lamp or the television. When you return, you will have to take the toy again and say "I found you", pronouncing your name again.

Grab the knife and stab the doll with it, making sure to break the thread. Only in this way will you be able to liberate the spirit that supposedly should already be within it.

Now repeat three times: "It's your turn" and his name one more time.

Release it and run to hide. Prepare to live one of the most terrifying experiences of your life and for no reason go out without precaution. Remember that the doll has a link with you and from that moment he will be looking for you, to do the same thing you did to him.

Do not make any noise, for more strange things you hear outside. And believe me, you're going to listen to them. It may be the sound of your TV going on and off inexplicably, it may be your furniture crawling or falling objects without apparent explanation. And you can also hear some footsteps that will freeze your blood.

No matter what it is, you must resist as much as you can without being found and pay close attention to your surroundings, since he could appear behind you at any moment.

The only way to end the game, is to find the doll before he does it with you. So when you want to do it, arm yourself with courage and place half of the salt water that you have in the hiding place in your mouth. Do not swallow it, or spit it out. Go to the bathroom and you will see that the doll has disappeared.

What you have to do now is find it and empty the water that remains in the glass on it. Then release the one in your mouth over your body and say the following words aloud: "I won, I won, I won".

The final step is to pick up the doll, dry it perfectly and burn it to fire the spirit.

I also advise you to sprinkle with salt all the parts of your house for which he walked, because even if you manage to finish the game you will feel a heavy and very strange atmosphere in your home. He may still be hanging around even though he no longer has a body to move on.

Undoubtedly, Hitori Kakurenbo is a challenge for lovers of the paranormal, which puts your nerves, your resistance and your common sense to the test.

If you search the Internet you can find multiple testimonials from people who have dared to play it on their own. Whether they are false or true, it is undeniable that most are frightening, which should take away the will of anyone trying to carry out such a macabre ritual.

Are you brave to try?
