Summer Spirits.

Posted by gail in Arts & Crafts, Paranormal on July 27, 2007 at 11:25 am


Pink Tentacle links to a creepy, but very artistic, collection of Japanese ghosts in the spirit of the season:


Japan [has a] centuries-old tradition of swapping ghost stories [in the summer]. Some argue that the fear induced by a spine-chilling story can actually lower one’s body temperature, making it a great way to deal with the summer heat.

And if you click on the link to Pink Tentacle, you will find out all you need to know about . . . Severed Mouth Woman, who "sparked a mass panic in Japan in the late ’70s and early ’80s."

    The stories are scary. The paintings and drawings are impressive.

    They’re really fine works of art, and they tell a story all by themselves, don’t they? At least they create a mood and a character.

    The link is broken now. Does anyone know where to view this or know if there is a book published with this collection?
