WAH! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
I won't do it again! Although I don't know what I did.
Or rather, who are you?
Ouch!
Huh?
Eh?
What's going on?
Old hag syndrome? It happens all the time.
Huh? Do you have psychic power too, Doctor?
Old hag syndrome is a type of sleep disruption
known as sleep paralysis.
With sleep, did you know there's the shallow REM sleep where you dream,
and the deeper non-REM sleep where you don't dream?
I've heard about it.
It's a phenomenon
that occurs when only the brain is awake during REM sleep.
- That's sleep paralysis. - Only the brain?
Yes. The body is asleep, yet the brain is awake.
That is why you are unable to move your body.
But I was almost attacked by a long-haired woman who sat on me, you know.
During REM sleep, breathing and heart rate often become irregular.
You may feel pressure on your chest.
So the brain comes up with a reason on its own,
and creates a hallucination that there's someone on top of you.
That was hallucination?
What, Hasedon? Do you really believe in ghosts?
No, that's not what I'm saying, but...
The existence of ghosts hasn't been scientifically proven.
Reports of dead people sighting
can all be explained by hallucination of the brain.
Hallucination of the brain...
Is something wrong, Kohhi?
No...
Good, you're all here.
Hello. How's it going?
Perfect timing. You look bored.
- I have work for you. - We're not really bored.
The Scientific Crime Countermeasures Office got an offer to appear on a TV program.
The name of the program is "Thorough Investigation! Unsolved Phenomenon File".
I watch that show.
Eh? Are we going to be on it?
It's a show that explores the cause of unexplained phenomenon from a scientific point of view.
What do you think? It's the perfect job for us, isn't it?
If you insist, we'll do it!
What are you getting so excited about?
But...it's TV, you know. TV.
I don't think it's our job to appear on television.
- No matter what, you look bored. - We are!
I have so much free time, I was going through the missing person list.
The existence of the Scientific Crime Countermeasures Office has yet to be recognized.
This is important public relations work.
- All right. - Okay!
It's time for me to finally make a debut. I'm quite a late bloomer.
That was your dream, huh?
I mean, that would make Mom happy, right?
So what do we need to explore?
Ghosts.
- Eh? - Huh?
Ghosts?
Our show invites a scientific expert each time as a guest, and...
Oh, Ohtomo, tea please. Have a seat.
This is a program that takes on unexplained unsolved phenomenon through science.
I see.
This will be the setting for this episode.
The Yamana Hotel.
It was an inn with hot spring and was doing decent business, but
there's been one ghost sighting after another from about 13 years ago,
and because of that, they were driven out of business.
Driven out of business by a ghost? Seriously?
That's "Sachiko-san in the Mole Room".
- "Sachiko-san in the Mole Room"? - The ghost has been seen
only in this corner Mole Room.
Who is this Sachiko-san...
It's one of the most haunted places in Japan.
You've never heard of it?
Is something wrong?
This... this is the woman I saw yesterday.
- What? Did you see Sachiko-san? - Yes.
- That's not possible. - No, I tell you, I saw her.
In Japan, a woman with long hair is the conventional image of a ghost.
Hasedon, you had an episode of sleep paralysis and had a hallucination of a woman with long hair.
Because of that, you just assumed they looked alike.
Is that it?
How boring. Is that what you call a scientific point of view?
Huh?
You've already decided from the beginning that ghosts don't exist,
and you start out from denial without even verifying it?
That way, it's so easy for you guys.
You don't have to work so hard.
Everyone's Suwanee. I watch your program all the time.
- Who? - He's Suwanee.
Hello. Ça va bien.
I'm a psychic researcher known as Everyone's Suwanee,
Suwa Naoto.
- Never heard of you. - Psychic researcher?
Suwa Sensei is serving as an occult advisor for our program.
Sleep paralysis isn't hallucination at all.
Sacchan said something to you, didn't she?
I don't know if she did...
It seems Sacchan hanged herself in the Mole Room but couldn't die, and
after suffering for 3 days and 3 nights,
she perished.
Her body has yet to be found.
Ah, poor Sacchan.
She appears in the dream of those who are on the same wavelength
and sends a message.
"Please find me." Isn't that what she told you?
I think that she did.
Bingo!
That was Sacchan's ghost after all.
Bingo, my foot. You just led him on.
What? What do you mean?
The ghost told Hasedon, "I'm gonna kill you," you know.
Eh? Did she really say that to me?
You said so this morning.
You said while choking you she said, "I'm gonna kill you."
I think she did.
There, he fell for it. It's easy to rewrite people's memory.
Hasedon was led on by me
into believing that he actually experienced something that didn't even happen.
Then what was that you just said?
- It was a lie. - What's that about?
Well? The one who's assuming from the beginning that ghosts exist,
I think, is you.
Then let me ask you. If ghosts don't exist,
why are there so many ghost stories?
It's because tens of thousands of people have been seeing them for a long time
that ghost stories continue to be told.
Ghosts do exist.
You know what I mean?
What makes you so sure of that?
But you guys have seen it at least once, haven't you?
No...
- I... - I've never seen it.
That's why I don't believe in ghosts. It's all hallucination of the brain.
Can you prove it?
Sure. I'll prove it on site.
I like it! Sounds good.
What will you do if I win?
I guess I'll have to quit this job.
- Are you serious? - So,
what will you guys do?
Then...
if we can't prove that there are no ghosts,
Scientific Crime Countermeasures Office
will be dissolved!
- Hey... - Doctor!
That... We're taking it!
I Can Only See You
Pandora's Fruit
Scientific Crime Investigation File
And so the doctor took on the bet?
The whole thing was captured on camera too.
We can't back down now.
- But this is the second one, isn't it? - The second?
The three most haunted places. I told you about them before, remember?
The first one is "Shigeo-san of Barber Yamada."
- The second is "Sachiko-san in the Mole Room." - I don't remember.
- And the third is... - That's enough.
Yes, sorry.
Suwa Nato. After dropping out of Waseda University,
he debuted as a writer for an occult magazine.
Subsequently, he struck out on his own as a psychic researcher.
The way he looks and talks is rather shady, but
he's a good talker and as an entertainer, he seems to be quite popular.
So what do you think? Can you win?
You know, Saegusa...
Do you think ghosts don't exist?
What?! Are you perhaps starting to believe in them?
Senpai?
I want to make it clear with the power of science.
Whether ghosts really exist.
Or whether they're all hallucination.
We'll be filming for 3 days.
Day 1 will be observation of psychic phenomena at Yamana Hotel.
Day 2, you'll be asked to formulate a hypothesis
from a scientific viewpoint at the studio.
And on Day 3, you will be back at the hotel
to demonstrate your point.
Wow... I feel like I've been here before.
That's deja vu.
You're synchronizing with Sacchan's spirit right now.
- Synchronizing? - It means you're connecting.
You're feeling what she experienced as if you experienced it yourself.
I am?
- I'm connected to Sachiko-san? - Of course.
Deja vu is simply an illusion caused by an error in the brain.
The fragmented memories of the past are just being incorrectly evoked
as if they're the same as the present experience.
Then is this just an illusion?
Oh, no. No!
Synchronize.
You think you can fool an idiot by using Western words, don't you?
Are you talking about me? What do you mean idiot?
Okay~. We've arrived.
Doctor, why do you turn on him so?
If you keep looking so grumpy,
you're going to get cursed by a ghost, Lady Blue.
Lady Blue.
Don't be shy, keep on trying!
Go for broke.
He reminds me of this boy I used to hate in elementary school.
- Huh? - A frivolous liar,
the type who brings down people around him with a smile on his face.
He loves ghost stories and gets his thrill scaring girls...
Please don't bring in childish personal grudges like that to work.
Anyway, if we don't bring that guy down,
we're going to get fired.
Who do you think sowed the seeds?
Yugawara, Kanagawa
Site of Yamana Hotel
Hey! You've got to take this first.
- I'm sorry. - How many times do I have to tell you?
Day 1 Observation
Take this to the second floor in the back.
Oh, hello.
I don't have a good feeling about this.
Say, can I have this?
Are you talking to me?
Of course it's you. You're the only one around.
I can drink this, right?
- I don't know. - Huh?
You mean you can't make that decision?
Yes...
Hey, who's the one who spread out the tea here!
I told you don't put it here because it'll be in the picture!
- I'm sorry. - Young people these days are so useless.
He didn't have to say that in front of us, huh?
Ladies don't like guys like that.
I look forward to working with you today.
I'll introduce you to everyone over here. Please, this way, please...
Everyone, this is Shimura-san, the owner.
Thank you for coming such a long way.
It can get dangerous as the floor may fall out in places, so please be careful...
Who needs a schedule!
Got it? Okay, thanks.
Thanks.
Then Hasedon, please get ready.
Huh? Get ready for what?
You're the subject. You'll be spending some time in the Mole Room.
Wait a minute. Why me?
Doctor Mogami and I will have to do the monitoring.
But look, there are others.
- Look, like that staff member. - They're all busy.
Besides, Hasedon, you've been synchronizing with Sacchan, right?
You said that's a lie yourself.
I think Hasebe-chan is the best person for the job too.
Because if you go,
Sacchan will be sure to respond.
Actually, she doesn't have to respond...
All right~! Then everyone,
let's begin!
Watch that path there.
- Coming down, it's coming down. - Okay.
Okay, I'm going to fasten this here.
Huh? Someone who's free now?
There's no one here right now who can do it, so I'm coming over.
Excuse me. Thanks in advance.
- Okay, thanks. - Yes, I'm on my way!
Are you okay? Looks like you were ignored again.
I'm okay. It happens all the time.
Or rather, don't you think
you should be a little more sociable too?
- Am I unsociable? - No, no, no...
It's not that.
I thought you should smile more since you're so cute.
When I look at you, I'm reminded of my daughter.
Daughter?
My daughter was bullied when she was in high school.
She always had the same look in her eyes like yours.
But well, she's a fine member of society now, and
working real hard.
But I'm divorced, so I haven't see her at all lately.
You're supposed to laugh here.
Oh... I'm sorry.
You're not laughing.
Hasebe-san, please turn on your microphone.
Let's get ready to start.
On. Can you hear me?
- Yes, I can hear you. - Move to the center of the room.
Okay, got it.
I'll position myself...
around here.
What's this?
1 hour has elapsed.
Hasedon?
Hasedon, are you perhaps asleep?
I'm not asleep.
2 hours have elapsed.
No change in particular.
Suwa-san, why did you decide to be a psychic researcher?
What? You've taken an interest in me?
In college, you majored in physics, but suddenly dropped out.
After that, you stepped into the world of occultism.
What exactly happened?
I hear a strange noise.
It's footsteps.
She's coming, she's coming, she's coming!
Sacchan is finally making her appearance!
Here comes Sacchan!
♪～ She's coming. She's coming for sure.
Hasebe-san, don't worry.
Nothing's showing up on the monitor.
From the sound of the footsteps... it's a woman.
It's Sacchan!
You guys are getting too excited!
This older building is built of wood, isn't it?
Wood, by absorbing and releasing moisture,
expands and contracts.
This is the sound it makes when that happens.
It's what we call house noise.
Hasebe-san, what's wrong?
No, I just felt a chill go down my spine. Oh... again.
Sacchan is touching you.
Go on, feel. Feel some more!
Stop saying creepy things like that!
This is getting interesting!
Hasedon, calm down.
It's natural to feel chills when you're scared.
The survival instinct to flee kicks in, and blood is pumped to the heart and
large muscles of the legs to enable your body to move quickly.
That causes the peripheral blood vessels to contract, lowering your skin temperature...
Chief! We're done now, aren't we?
Let's call it a day!
Not yet. Sachiko-san's spirit hasn't appeared yet.
I feel a pain in my chest!
His heart rate is rising rapidly.
Hasedon, calm down.
How am I supposed to calm down!
He must've felt Sacchan's vibration!
I didn't join the police
to do something like this!
- Hasedon? - Let's go.
- Are you okay? - I started feeling a little sick.
For feeling sick, you were acting quite unruly.
- You're exaggerating. - I'm not exaggerating.
Your pulse has slowed down quite a bit too.
We were able to get some great shots,
- so let's call it a day for today. - Yeah, let's.
All right.
Thank you for you hard work today, everyone.
- Thank you. - Are you really okay?
Yeah, I'm fine now.
Please don't overexert yourself.
Hm? Are you worried about me?
Thanks. But I'm fine.
- That's not good, is it? - Thank you, good team.
Hasedon, I think you should have a doctor take a look at you after all.
Please go get a complete checkup.
I tell you, you're overreacting. Really.
She's such a worry wart.
Ah... can't do it anymore.
I'm taking a break.
You're drinking too, aren't you, Kohhi?
Yes, I suppose so.
In the first place, there's no such thing as ghosts.
Is that really true?
A long, long time ago, thunder was thought to be the wrath of God,
but its mechanism was explained by science.
There may come a time when
the existence of ghosts, too, can eventually be explained by science.
What are you trying to say?
In other words, instead of denying the existence of ghosts from the beginning,
we should prove with science whether they exist or not,
by taking into consideration both of those possibilities.
You're saying the same thing as that Suwa guy.
I'm just trying to think of all the possibilities...
I feel a pain in my chest!
What's wrong?
How am I supposed to calm down!
So that's what happened.
She's coming, she's coming, she's coming!
It's footsteps.
I didn't join the police to do something like this!
Doctor...
I figured out the identity of Sachiko-san in the Mole Room.
"Thorough Investigation! Unsolved Phenomena File"
An abandoned hotel where a series of ghost sightings have been reported for the past 13 years.
Will Sachiko-san in the Mole Room
appear in front of the reporting crew?
Footsteps of a woman that close in on the reporting crew.
Detective Hasebe is overtaken by a sudden chill.
Heart beat and breathing become irregular.
Detective Hasebe screams and faints.
Did Sachiko-san's spirit cause these phenomena?
Tackling this bizarre phenomenon
is the Scientific Crime Countermeasures Office, which has led MPD to solve numerous difficult cases.
Leading the way is Senior Superintendent Kohiruimaki Yuichi, the head of the office.
Acting as the advisor is
a brilliant scientist in a variety of fields ranging from physical engineering
to life sciences, Doctor Mogami Yukiko.
Finally, science will be delving into one of the three most haunted spots in Japan.
Good, okay!
Okay, that's it for the recording of the opening scene.
We're changing the set.
We'll be resuming in 15 minutes, so please be ready.
Day 2 Hypothesis
Are you okay?
- See you later. - Suwanee, good luck.
Same clothes as yesterday.
Ah... yes.
You couldn't go home?
Well...
It must be tough.
Yes.
- Are you making time to take baths and stuff? - Eh?
Is this considered sexual harassment now?
- In this day and age. - Yes.
That interview I did earlier,
I actually wanted them to film me from the right side.
I look better on the right side than the left.
-See? This side. The left side. - Yes.
Right. This side. This side is better, right?
Actually, there isn't much difference.
I saw you smile for the first time.
Eh?
You should smile like that. Since you're already cute.
Okay.
Shall I tell you how you can smile easily?
- It's easy. - Yes.
Just say "Eh?"
- Eh? - "Eh?" like you're surprised.
- Eh? Eh? - Eh?
- No, I don't think that works. - Nice smile.
Good smile. Thank you, good team.
- Although it doesn't make any sense. - What's that?
- Also, "huh?" - Oh, no.
I didn't join the police
to do something like this!
That time, my ears suddenly started hurting.
Then I started feeling strangely irritated.
Before I knew it, I was on the floor.
Now then, let's hear the hypothesis from the folks at
the Scientifc Crime Countermeasures Office.
First of all, what do you think about the mental aberration such as agitation and confusion
that is said to have afflicted numerous hotel guests, and which, in fact,
afflicted the subject as well?
These symptoms are
very similar to those that occur when a certain sound is heard.
To be exact, it's a sound that can't be heard.
A sound that can't be heard?
- It's low frequency sound. - Low frequency sound?
Please explain it in detail.
The human ear is unable to hear low frequency sounds under 20 Hz.
But just because it can't be heard doesn't mean it has no effect.
When exposed to low frequency sound,
symptoms such as tinnitus, headache, irritability may occur in some cases.
As a matter of fact, these symptoms occurred to Hasebe-san
at exactly the same time a strong low frequency sound was observed
in the Mole Room.
Are you saying that there's something in the Mole Room
that generates this low frequency sound?
This is just a hypothesis.
We're planning to inspect the Mole Room one more time tomorrow
to track down the source of the low frequency sound.
In the end, you haven't found out anything, have you?
Did you find out anything about Sachiko-san's spirit?
Unfortunately, this time around,
Sachiko-san's spirit did not appear.
However, the very fact that she did not appear
is the key to unraveling the identity of Sachiko-san's spirit.
Really? Does that mean you finally found out her identity?
I can't wait to find out.
- In regards to that... - We'll prove it tomorrow on site.
What and how are you going to prove it anyway?
- I'll call Sachiko. - Eh?
Tomorrow, I shall summon Sachiko-san's spirit to the Mole Room.
By using the power of science.
Whoa, the doctor just made an amazing declaration!
Interesting.
- Then, start rolling. - It's rolling.
Day 3
Demonstration
So, how are you planning to make Sacchan appear?
The pareidolia effect.
Pareidolia effect? What is that?
The human brain has a specialized ability to identify the other person's face.
Just by looking at a face for a second,
we are able to determine who the other person is.
Because of that ability, when people see three spots,
they associate them with eyes and nose, and misperceive it as a face.
No way!
You mean this woodgrain was mistaken for a ghost?
That's really stretching it.
It's not just the woodgrain.
There's one more condition.
Shadow.
Shadow? I don't see a shadow anywhere.
That's my point.
The last time Sachiko-san was seen was 10 years ago.
She hasn't been seen since this hotel was abandoned, right?
And so, we did a thorough comparison of pictures of this room
from 10 years and ago and now.
As a result, we found out that
ornamental figure had been damaged.
This very figure is the identity of Sachiko-san's ghost.
We have the exact same thing here.
Please turn off the light.
It will be dark.
Nothing's happening.
We still need to put on the finishing touch.
At this hotel, during the night time hours of operation, the lights of the fountain in the courtyard
were set to light up for just 5 specified minutes.
That very time period
was the time Sachiko-san's ghost appeared.
Hasedon, turn the lights on.
Got it.
Tada~! Sachiko-san is here.
No way...
This is the conclusion drawn by science.
The ghost of Sachiko-san does not exist.
It was all an optical illusion.
Hasedon, you can come back now.
Got it.
So this makes me the winner.
There was no such thing as a ghost!
This is the true identity of Sachiko?!
- DA~! Mom! - Hasedon?
- Keep it rolling. - Go, go, go!
- What happened? - What's going on?
Back there... Someone's back there!
- Are you still stuck on that? - No, no...it's there, it's there.
Wah~! No, no, no...!
No, no... No, no, no...
I'm sorry. My mother's interested in filming,
and it seems she came to take a peek on her own.
The owner's mother?
It seems Sachiko-san had someone she was waiting for
and continued to stay at our hotel for several days.
Have you met Sachiko-san?
Can you tell us more about her?
It was 13 years ago on April 17th
that she came to stay here.
I'm surprised you remember.
That day was the 20th anniversary of the opening of Yamana Hotel.
That's why it left an impression on me.
But one day, she suddenly disappeared,
leaving all her belongings in her room.
She didn't even hang herself, but
because rumors of her ghost spread...
It was just around the time a big resort hotel was built in the neighboring town
and we were getting fewer guests.
Seriously...
What an annoying rumor.
Shimura-san, can I borrow the blueprint for this hotel?
- Blueprint? - Yes.
What kind of things generate low frequency sounds?
There are lots of cases involving large fans and cooling systems in factories.
In the past, it has also occurred near highway bridge girders.
There are no highways around here.
I was wondering if there was any space
around the Mole Room that would amplify sounds.
What? What's wrong?
What?
This place...
Here?
Huh?
There's some kind of space under the Mole Room.
Oh, it's a space that's not in use anymore.
Originally, our boiler room was there.
Boiler room...
Yes, that's the place!
What about the boiler room?
By any chance, is the space still there?
In order to draw hot spring from the source, the resort hotel
insisted on running a pipe through here.
Did you find out anything?
If some kind of sound that was generated at the resort hotel
traveled through the hot spring pipe
and got amplified in this former boiler room space...
Oh.
- Way to go! - Let's go take a look.
Great detective work. Thank you good team.
Let's go!
What the... Suwa Sensei, it's dark here so please be careful.
Ah, this must be the entrance to the boiler room.
Let's check it out.
Keep it rolling, just in case.
- Then I'll go get him. - Yeah, hurry.
It's deteriorated quite a bit.
Did you hear something collapse just now?
What?
Is everyone all right?
OUCH~!
- Where are we! - Ouch! Ow, ow, ow...
Doctor, Doctor... Doctor.
Hey~! Someone help~!
Oh! Door, door, door...!
The other side is buried in debris.
What?
We're completely trapped in.
Do you smell something?
Yeah, something like rotten egg.
It's hydrogen sulfide.
8 hertz! I'm still getting low frequency.
Just as we hypothesized.
Boiler noise that was generated at the resort hotel
was amplified in this space, turning it into low frequency sound
- as it reached the Mole Room. - Everything's been explained now.
Is this the time to be rejoicing? We're in deep trouble, you know!
- What happened? - Wah~ What's this?
Skeletal remains...
Yamana Hotel
Mole Room
"Mole Room"? Surely, this isn't...
Sacchan, is this where you've been?
There's significant damage to the skull.
She must've fell just like us,
hit her head, and died here.
That's why the people at the hotel
thought that she had disappeared suddenly.
- The level of hydrogen sulfide is rising! - It's toxic gas.
If the airborne concentration exceeds 0.07%, it would be lethal.
- Let's try that door again. - Damn it! We've got to get out!
Someone! Help!
- Someone! - Hey~! Help~!
Someone~! Help~!
Someone~!
We're screwed.
What are you doing here?
You scared me.
Did you come to save us? Thank you!
Hey! We can get out this way!
- We're out! - We're safe! It's light.
It's getting light.
- We're safe! - Hasedon, good job.
No, no, it wasn't me... Where did she go? That girl.
- There was a girl, right? - Who?
Are you all right?
Yeah...
Thank you for all your hard work.
When I was a college student,
my sister, who was 7 years younger than me,
went missing on her way home from school.
What?
You asked me why I believe in ghosts, didn't you?
The police looked for her frantically too, but...
in the end, they couldn't find her.
But one day,
my sister appeared at my bedside.
"Onii-chan, why aren't you coming?"
"Let's play at the Aoi River again," she said.
That's when I realized.
That my sister was already dead.
Shortly after that,
her body was found.
Just as she said,
she had drowned in the Aoi River.
She
came to see me for the last time
before she went to the other side.
The program's been cancelled?
The series was apparently cancelled due to poor ratings.
What? Do these things get decided so suddenly?
I don't know.
In the first place, they're the ones who asked us.
That's for sure.
And we almost died too.
Well, let's just say finding the skeletal remains made it worthwhile.
I guess so...
So, have they found out anything about the body?
They said she definitely fell to her death.
However, her identity is still unknown.
The prefectural police is currently seeking information.
What are you reading?
Suwanee sent this to me.
Looks like he became a picture book writer.
There are Such Things as Ghosts
Author Illustration Naito Suwanee
So he changed his tactic, huh?
He never learns, does he?
I'm sure he has his own thoughts.
Well, there's no such as ghosts.
For not believing in them, you were sure scared.
But something you don't understand is scary, isn't it?
That's probably why you chose to walk the path of a scientist, right?
Maybe so.
Ghosts may never disappear from this world.
The desire to be connected one more time with the deceased.
As long as such feeling exists.
You're talking about an illusion, right?
If anything... I'd say hope.
Hope, huh?
Besides, the way we came about to find the skeletal remains
is too fateful to be dismissed as mere coincidence.
Are you perhaps a romanticist?
I'm not sure.
But I wonder how Hasedon knew about the exit.
Oh...
He said that a staff member helped him out.
I think he said it was a girl with a ponytail.
Was there a girl like that?
- Yukitake-san. - Huh?
We got a letter from that owner's mother.
A letter?
She said when she was cleaning the hotel, she found a picture from back then
that has Sachiko-san in it.
Why now?
Where?
- I think it's this girl. - Oh, really?
She's cute.
If we could've broadcast this one, it would've gone viral for sure.
I know, right? How can it be cancelled?
