Synopsis
The ominous address 6-6-6 Daiba, Minato-ku, Tokyo, does not exist on any map, yet letters mysteriously arrive at this house from all over Japan. Each and every letter is about something terrifying that actually happened. Goro Inagaki, the resident of this house, will unseal the letters and introduce them to viewers.

Joining Inagaki in the studio will be a couple of elementary school children and psychic researchers. The program will consist of the following elements.


1. Story Re-creations

Each week viewers will see 3-6 mini-dramas that re-create the stories described in the letters. From script to presentation, the priority in production is on a level of realism that will surely send chills down viewers' spines.


2. Creepy Photographs

Guests in the studio will analyze spooky photographs sent in from viewers.


3. Documentaries

Reporters will travel to the actual scenes where frightening stories have taken place.

1. Goro is a ghost-fighting super hero? [Rating: 10/10]
Not really a Drama, I'd say, but this series is definately great. Goro is the head of the "ほん怖クラブ" which (much to my amusement) spends half of it's time taking pot shots at "Goro-sensei."

This show is probably not based on things REALLY happened but at least they're never boring. The Japanese flare for ghost stories is really brought about in this.

I'd say the scariest part is definately the ghost pictures.

2. Scary Stories--They're True Stories!!! [Rating: 9/10]
Watching all the stories was frightning and they were all letters from people who experienced the super-natural beings...and the phots sent in were also creepy, which were actual photos from people in Japan...Not a drama but a show of Hauntings, kind of like "Weird Travels" on Travel Channel but these are events by people...I think the reinactments were GREAT!!!

The music theme was also frightnin, good thing I won't be getting the Soundtrack!!! Its great show if your into hauntings, but don't go under the covers if you say you enjoy these kind of stories!!!

Be aware that all pictures that had a bad Omen in this shown, were taken to a shrine and burned, so the sprirt in the picture may be at peace...

This is not a drama, in the slightest, simply a children's show of scary stories comparable to the North American, "Are you afraid of the dark?" except that Goro sits with around 6 children and evaluates the 'real' scary story that they've just watched. I like ghost stories, and I like the reaction of the children. It's not the least bit scary, but it is cute and fun to watch.

SCARY, not entirely scary, but good enough to make you jump...all true stories by people and so were the pictures shown....never upset a spirit or you might get it yourself...

Not a drama but a show of interests, to people who love to know about haunted events...
Goro is funny when he talks to the kids in his club, about things other than ghosts...

Again...ITS ALL TRUE STORIES!!!
