The Himikyru (Himuro) Mansion
Before you read any farther I have not a clue if any of this is true at all this is just things that I have managed to dig up from around our wonderful internet. There is a game that is called Fatal Frame; there has so far from what I have seen three games made from this story.
The Himikyru Mansion To many there is no such place to many others this place is real and holds so many secrets and has a dark past that scares so many. The place is falling apart and cities officials wants to burn it down but the remaining family has put up a fight to keep it in the family. It is located on the out skirts of Tokyo located through a forest. If you go near that place you can not miss it; it is huge even though it is buried with vines and things of the such you can still see it very well even in the broad day light. It is thought to be out side a small village that is called Choko Village. The mansion is said to be the home of an ancient shrine where there were rituals held every thirty years in December before the death of the girls ceremony had started. These were held for the same reasons as the girls ceremony was held for which was to keep the demons in their portals and keep the gates of hell closed.
I will tell you about some of the story's that follows this grizzly of a tale.
It is thought to be one of the most terrible things that has ever happen in Tokyo.
his is one of the first story's I have found that goes with this terrible story.
From What I can find there was murders there but most says it was a man that did do a ceremony but it went wrong so he killed his entire family and maids and so on in the house along with himself. It was as if he was possessed by some demon due to the mess up of this ceremony that took place. But this is what is said to have really happen.
The girl that he was going to sacrificed had in love and this tainted her blood because she was not pure any more and so when he found out about this he took his sword and killed her along with the rest of his family and all that resided with in the mansion even taking his own life in fear of what was going to happen so he thought he was saving them. Blood was slug all over the walls and floor due to the way he had killed these people. He had taken his sword and sliced all of them apart leaving body parts all over the mansion.
The girls were chosen at birth by the master of the house. She would be isolated from the out side world to keep her from having any ties to the out side world to make sure that when the ritual was done it went right.
On the day of the Strangling ritual the girl would be tied with rope around her ankles wrists and neck then she would be tied to oxes or maybe horses in all directions and was pulled till her limbs would rip off her body quartering her. After that the ropes used to bind her would be soaked in her blood and then laid across the gate in a symbol of some sort and this would keep the gate sealed for another half century.The bodies were then taken down to a cellar that was used as a burial place called the burial room. The thing of it is is they were just thrown down there not buried at all.
From what I can find there is only one member of the family still alive Not sure if the name is right but I found it on a forum the name is as is Hitomi Himuro. I am not even sure if this true about this person or if it is just some one playing games with people who loves things of the such. It all could be lies.There are so many different tales to this place.
From this person they tell what happen and how things were done during the ceremony that took so many lives of such young girls at the age of seven years old.
To these girls this ceremony was only a game to them and they did not know that they would be killed due to this game. It was a game of tag called Demon Tag there.
This ceremony was held every ten years. A woman would be blind folded and would be placed in the largest room of the mansion which at the time was located at the upper level. This woman would be introduced to the seven year old girls as the oni, she would then begin to chase them around the room til she caught one of them and then the one that was caught would then be blind folded and would she be the oni. She would then keep the game going by tagging another one. When she had done so she would then be taken out of the room and killed unknown to the other girls. It was thought that because the girls caught first was so easy to catch that she was blinded to the demons. This would keep going til the last one was tagged. The last girl to be tagged was thought to be very strong and she could see the demons and run away but before she could get away she would be locked away. She was the maiden selected And the ceremony would continue as follows.
She was considered to be the maiden of holy power and her powers would then be transferred to the demon that was behind hells gate.
After she was caught she would then be locked up in that same room for 3369 days this would mean that she would be held in this room for over nine years. She would be raised blind folded the whole time by the priests of the family. These priest were made to keep masks over their face and were warned not to get attached to the girls or they would be killed as well. The girl would be brought out on the 12th month and the 13th day to the moon shrine and then would undress and let the moon rays wash her body. The Moon Shrine no longer exist due to the fire that happen there in 1895. After she was cleansed this way the head Priest or the master of the ceremony and the family would come and get her. The ceremony then was taken to a place called the rope alter. She would then be hung after having parts of her body sliced open so the blood could run on the floor and to the portal that was to be kept closed.
The sacrifices were required to keep the portal closed that is thought to be one of the gates of hell its self.
There is a talisman that is said to be locked up there in the area of the attic and with in it is many demons locked away. There are stories of many men that has went in search of this talisman but only to lose their life in a horrible way. Some has said to have been found with rope burns on their necks indicated that they were hung and some were even dismembered and scattered about. There are three bodies that lie about the land of this place that has been dismembered and scattered about is thought to maybe some of the family that was digging to deep and was put a stop to by killing them. Maybe some that might have been trying to save the poor girls due to their constant cry for help.
The ones who has claimed to be to this mansion said that there are bloody hand prints on the walls and blood splattered all over the place. There are tunnels that leads under the house no one knows really where they came from. I would bet that they came from the girls that were locked up and maybe even some of them got away due to these tunnels. There is a window in this mansion that is said when a picture is taken you can see a little girl standing there with cloth over her eyes. Many spirits have been said to be on the lands as if they are in misery and seems lost calling out for help with every passing stranger. Many phenomenons happens in this place that can not be explained. Only that there has been many murders here for so many centuries.
The things said about this place has placed much fear in the people of Tokyo and some even thinks that any one living near this place will be cursed and will meet a fatal death and be lost to this mansion just as so many others has done so.
One more thing to throw into the mix it is rumored that one of the most well known serial killers of children lived in this mansion for a while before her arrest at the Children's Rainbow Center. Her name is Miyuki Ishikawa. No one can be sure of how many children she killed but it is thought to be at the least 103 but there were many more every one is sure of that the count is close to the 200 mark. One of the cases was in the Children's Rainbow Center.
She was a Japanese midwife after her prison sentence she then along with her husband moved to New Orleans. Every one said that she was heavy into black magic before she ever came to the states.
She worked as a hospital director in the Kotobuki maternity hospital (Kotobuki San-in) and was an experienced midwife. The death count that she did is more then any other serial killer in japan.
Wounder if there are any dead babies in the mansion from her that may be linked to a ceremony?
Once again I say that I do not know if any of this is true at all. There is even some thing going around that there are still people living in this mansion.
So is there any thing to this mystery or is it just some one who made a game and made this whole story up saying that it was based on a true story just to get more people interested in it and play it to make more money, who knows but what I have found is kinda scary and I could see this kind thing happening, things of the such has happen so many times even worse things has happen in the USA and all over the world. Just like the Lalaurie House that is a true story so maybe this one is true as well.
There seems not to be any records of any thing happening here at all. But just because we can not find any thing of the sort does not mean that it did not happen. Maybe the police reports has all been locked away to keep it quite and so on. It was said that the man had killed every living part of the family but that could not be true at all I am most assure of this. The tunnels leading out some one must have heard what was going and seen it then ran to the tunnels and escaped maybe even more then one. They began to talk some what or maybe even locked up in a physics ward and some one took what the people or person was saying to be true and started digging into this story we will never really know for a fact if this is real and if it is how did the story come about. Also from all that I have read things had been going on in this mansion for centuries so there were much more then seven lives lost in this place. It would be pretty cool to visit it and see if any place of the such is there in the area. This might just be an urban legend that some gamers picked up and made it come alive if so then cool but it this game is based on true events that is even better because it will help people to remember what happen to so many innocent people.
