The mysteries don’t stop. A 200-year-old scroll depicting the finder’s ancestors as terrifying monsters. What was really going on? A man lost in a world that looked similar, yet somehow different to home. Where did he really end up? A long-lost commercial remembered by hundreds, yet zero proof that it ever existed… That is, until someone dug up some old video tapes. What this finally the real deal? Bankai: Baffling Japanese Internet Mysteries Vol. 3 delves into 37 horrifying, mind-bending, and often downright befuddling mysteries that sprang to life on the Japanese internet. From terrifying real-time experiences to long lost memories, urban legends in the making to real life crimes, these mysteries have confused, amused, and terrified for years. Think you’ve heard it all? You haven’t seen anything yet.

And with Izumo, the birthplace of Japanese mythology, just a stone’s throw away, she was never too far from the mysterious.
