Machiko, with her sensitivity to spirits.

Strange and supernatural experiences that are part of everyday life... Have you ever had an experience like this? Sounds coming from an empty room. A mysterious shadow floating on the surface of a fountain seen in childhood. Being held down by a sleep paralysis demon, with "something" sitting on top of the futon. A chill and a feeling of being watched the moment you enter a friend's apartment while they're looking for a new place. The sound of something the size of a person falling to the floor every night at the same time. A child's handprint that mysteriously appeared on the PC monitor and then disappeared. A vengeful spirit of a woman who possessed a friend's husband, as experienced by the friend. Machiko, who has a subtle sensitivity to spirits and can't definitively say "it's definitely there," draws a collection of true horror stories set in everyday life. ◆ Tomi Machiko's Twitter account.
