About a station that doesn’t exist.

I first stumbled upon this urban legend after clicking on a nameless YouTube video, which was a song inspired by this event.

It started in the year 2004 when a user, who goes by the name “Hasumi”, started a thread of text posts. 

Hasumi first mentions in the post that she has been riding a train which she often rides to work and is familiar with. OK so, here’s the thing, Hasumi says it usually only ever takes the train a few minutes, the most being 8 for it to arrive from one station to the other. But the train has been going on, not stopping for the past 20 minutes or so. Some other users tried to ask questions to help her or find clues, to which Hasumi responds that there is a possibility she missed her stop and decides to wait a little longer. 

A little later, she says that the train finally emerges from a tunnel and is gradually slowing down. Though here’s the weird thing, Hasumi never remembers there being any tunnels when she rides the train! She that the train is finally stopping at a station. 

Anyways, she mentions the name of the station is Kisaragi station. Some users decided to search up the place, some urge her not to get off the train and stay until the last stop. Hasumi then answers that she got onto the station alone and the station seems to be unmanned and says that she took the train at 11.40. The users are now confused, because they can’t seem to find any information about Kisaragi station, and are much more confused that Hasumi’s train ride was for over an hour. Weird right ? Hasumi then says that she called home but neither of her parents seem to know where Kisaragi station is. Here’s where it gets a bit creepy, apparently the name ‘kisaragi’ is written with the kanji (a Japanese writing system) for devil. Devil station, yikes. 

Some people suggest Hasumi to walk back along the track to get out of the tunnel. Hasumi decided to do that. Anyways, she says that she walks further down along the track, but hears some kind of bell mixed with a sound that seems like the beating of drums. Imagine hearing that in the middle of the night ! Moreover at an unmanned station, goosebumps all over. But the creepiness doesn’t stop there. Hasumi was starting to get scared, and decides to run down the track, to which she hears someone shouting, “Hey! Don’t run down the track! It’s dangerous.” She turns around, expecting to see an attendant. Instead, it was a one-legged man who vanished shortly after she turned around. Hasumi felt too scared to move. Honestly if I was her, I’d be scared as well. The beating sounds started to get louder. 

She finally left the tunnel, and says that there was someone up ahead. She thanks everyone for their advice. Users urged her not to go to the person, because, of course, what would be more suspicious than a person waiting at the track in the middle of the night ? She says that the man seems gentle and would call for a train to pick her up and drop her off at a station. She rides the train with the man but after a while he and stopped talking entirely. It sounded so weird and ominous, that the other users urged her to get off the train and run. Hasumi after a while says that she has decided to make a run for it, and also says that the man has been talking to himself about the most bizarre things. Her battery seemed to be running out so she decided to make that her last post for the time being to wait for the right moment to run for it.

Hasumi was never heard of again after that post.
