So I do this thing called Bunsinshaba (the mirror spirit game) like all the time, solo or with friends. It's actually kind of fun lol.
Anyway this was back in May I think? I was studying for midterms and got bored so I decided to mess around with it. It was like midnight or something.
Here's the thing though - when I do Bunsinshaba I actually see spirits way more than other people do. But that night I was literally just doing it to stay awake. I got a red pen ready, did the whole chant thing ("Bunsinshaba Bunsinshaba odissay grat-say"), and started.
5 minutes later... nothing happened. Like the pen wouldn't move or whatever. So I just left the pen on the chair, burned the paper, and went to the living room to get some water.
My sister was at cram school because she's a senior so the lights were on when I got back.
After I grabbed water and walked back to my room I SWEAR I saw someone. Like actually saw a person shape. So I went to check and... nobody. Nothing. I figured I was just tired and seeing things, so I went to the bathroom to wash up.
That's when it happened.
I looked in the mirror and there was a GHOST standing RIGHT BEHIND ME.
I'm not even kidding. Full body chills. I see spirits pretty regularly but this absolutely wrecked me. I've heard you're supposed to stay completely still and NOT make eye contact so I just froze there staring at the floor. My eyes wouldn't even move.
After like a few minutes I looked up and it was gone.
Okay cool I thought, whatever, going to bed. I walk back to my room and go to sit down on the chair and guess what.
There's a ghost sitting on the chair.
The same chair where I left the pen.
I'm never doing Bunsinshaba again honestly. Life's been so much lighter since I stopped lol.
Edit: For real though don't do this.
