Related Notes The Veiled House (Video)

The diary found at the old inn mentioned a folklorist who lived on Mt. Hikami. I have found more information on him, including his name, in books on the occult.

This folklorist, Keiji Watarai, went to the mountain due to his obsession with the mysteries of the sect living there. He then went missing, as mentioned in the diary, and rumors about what happened to him abound.

They say that he didn't just die or go missing, but rather he stumbled on something the mountain wanted kept hidden, and so his entire house was swallowed up by the mist.

This is the origin of one of Mt. Hikami's more recent stories of a haunted house.

While the veracity of this is unclear, I looked into a video tape, left behind by someone who stumbled across the house. The video is apparently famous in occult circles.

I contacted the publisher, and received the following response.

"Dear Rui Kagamiya,

Thank you for contacting us.

The video you are looking for is no longer in print, but there are some copies in our warehouse. This video prompted a huge amount of feedback from customers.

The tape was found near a river on Mt. Hikami. It is unknown who filmed it. There were many sections too damaged by water to be usable, and so we took what was left and edited it together.

The master copy of the video was confiscated by the police. They conducted a search of the mountain, but were unable to find who shot the film, or even the house's location.

Now that entering the Unfathomable Forest is prohibited, we advise you not to look into this on your own.

Koji Kakimoto,
Suigensha Film Division"

I believe the building visible at the start of the video is the Shrine of Dolls.

After that, we see what seems to be a cave, but it's hard to make anything out.

From the large number of books seen in the house, it's likely that it really is the former home of Keiji Watarai.

廃旅館で見つけた日記にあった、日上山に
住んでいた民俗学者ですが、オカルト系の
本に名前などの情報がありました。

民俗学者「渡会啓示」は、日上山信仰と
呼ばれる謎に取り憑かれ、山中に家を建て
住んでいたようです。
そして、日記にあったように行方不明と
なるのですが、その後ある噂が囁かれる
ようになりました。


彼は事故などに遭ったのではなく、山の
禁忌に触れ、その家ごと隠されてしまった
という噂です。

その噂は日上山の「マヨイガ」と言われる
都市伝説となっています。


真偽のほどは不明ですが、マヨイガに
迷い込んだ人が残したビデオテープ、
というものがあるとのことで、調べました。
オカルト系では有名なビデオのようです。

出版社に問い合わせたところ、返答がありま
した。

お問い合わせありがとうございました。

お探しのビデオは廃盤になっておりますが、
僅少ながら在庫がございます。

このビデオを発売したところ反響が大きく、
さまざまな問い合わせをいただきました。


ビデオの撮影者・投稿者は不明で、
テープは、日上山の川の近くで見つかった
ものです。
水に濡れて再生できない箇所が多く、
再生できる箇所を、編集してあります。

ビデオのマスターは警察に押収されました。
警察による山中の捜索もなされましたが、
撮影者も、現場となるこの家も、発見する
ことができなかったとのことです。


なお、現在、不知ノ森は進入禁止区域と

願います。

ビデオの冒頭に映っているのは、山の中腹
にある「形代神社」ではないかと思われます。

次に一瞬映る洞窟については、詳しくは
わかっていません。

ただ、たどり着いた家には大量の書籍がある
ことから、この家は民族学者「渡会啓示」が
住んでいた家である可能性は高いと
思います。
