According to ancient Edo legends, on Banchō Street, one of the most haunting stories in Japanese culture was born — the legend of Okiku, a noble servant who was brutally punished for losing a single plate. Her torment was so great that it condemned her soul, and some say her spirit can still be heard to this day.

It's said that strange things happen at 3:00 a.m. Besides being the time when terror is most felt and the night becomes tense, this hour is known as "the devil's hour." But why is it called that?

In the cold spring of 1922, on a remote German farm called Hinterkaifeck, six people including a family and their maid were brutally murdered, but the most terrifying thing was not the crime but the events that occurred before and after.‎‎🎵 Music by TrenoX8 from Pixabay
