I got the creeps.

So I left.

She said she'd put the curse on my dad to kill

him.

Curse?

By calling a ghost.

But she didn't know much about it, either.

I should be going.

Yeah. Thanks.

Excuse me.

I want to ask you something.

It's already been two weeks.

Mr. Yamagata, I heard you know a lot about

such things.

Rumors are usually exaggerated.

I'm sorry.

My wife collapsed five years ago.

We went to many hospitals...

but the cause was unknown.

Then a friend of mine from college introduced

me...

a psychic.

It may sound ridiculous, but...

I was clutching at a straw.

I had no idea.

I used to teach folklore at a university.

Folklore?

I'm not sure if this can help you, but...

Have you ever heard of "spirited away?"

Yes

It was a common phenomenon in the past.

People said it was goblins' work.

Or the god of mountains'.

Where were they taken to?

I don't know.

Some people came back after years passed,

others didn't.

Does that happen even today?

We just don't call it that way today.

Using dolls is called "representation. "

Like the voodoo doll.

As for the water, probably it's derived from the

belief...

that water parts two worlds.

I guess the red thread...

represents blood vessels.

I heard Ms. Uno had said she'd curse

someone to death.

Perhaps this is a kind of necromancy.

But it can be interpreted in many ways.

Peter-Pan story is also "spirited away" from a

different perspective.

The another world's not necessarily bad for

the disappeared.

That's improper.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Yamagata.

How is your wife?

She passed away last year.

"Goto:
It's about time. "

"Pond:
I heard another high school student is

missing... "

"after playing creepy hide-and-seek. "

"Isn't it dangerous to play it now?"

"Kids' land:
Those who wanna play it should

play. "

"How to Finish Creepy Hide-and-Seek"

"Next... "

"you're the tagger. "

"How to Finish Creepy Hide-and-Seek"

"Blow a mouthful of salt water to the doll. Say 'I

win' three times. "

Ready or not...

Here I come...

Ready or not...

Not yet...

Not yet...

Here I come...

No...

Ready or not...

No.

Not yet...

No...

Here I come.

Here I come...

Did you know Uno is missing?

Really?

She was kinda weird, don't you think?

Oh, yeah.

Wanna hear the rumor?

She was addicted to chancy drug, so her mom

went mad, and...

What?

Oh my!

For real?

What?

Uh-huh. Oh my God!

I can't believe it!

Hello, I'm here to see Ms. Tamura. I'm her

coworker.

Ms. Tamura?

Oh, yes, Ms. Tamura.

Have you seen her lately?

No. I haven't seen her for a while.

She hasn't paid last month's rent, and she's

not home whenever I visit.

Is it possible for me to have the key to her

room?

And you are...?

Her coworker, Kashiwagi. I'm also a teacher.

Call me if something comes up.

You know the room number?

Yes.

Ms. Tamura?

"Creepy Hide-and-Seek"

"The page cannot be displayed"

You're the next tagger, Ryoko.

Nobuko!

Nobuko!

Hi.

You're awake.

Probably you hit your head when you fell down.

I don't think it's serious, but let's see for a

while.

Doctor?

How long was I sleeping?

It's been two days since you were brought

here.

Yeah.

It's nothing serious.

I'll be discharged soon.

Don't worry.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

I know.

Mom?

Is the park still there?

"Goto:
Who wants to join me?"

"Let me know by 2:50 AM."

"FYl, this bulletin board will be shut down... "

"at 2:
59 AM today. "

"Unknown:
How's it going?"

"Sara:
I can already hear rapping. "

"Pond:

"Unknown:

"... I can hear it. "

Ready or not...

place. "

I'm looking for my daughter.

"Missing Girl:
Ritsuko Uno"

People who disappeared...

haven't gone somewhere else.

In fact, they are around us...

watching us quietly.

It's just we lost the heart...

to feel their existence.

I found you, Nobuko.

Nobuko.

I found...
