Описание: 🗂️ “The Umeyama Silence” - Location: Umeyama Forest, Shimane Prefecture, Japan Filed By: National Paranormal Archive of Japan (NPAJ) Date of Incident: November 12–20, 2008 Classification: Tier V Phenomenon — Ritual Echo Disturbance, Sensory Inversion, Entity Co-Habitation

🏮 Background History: The Forgotten Shrine of Yurei-no-Toge - Umeyama Forest lies on the outskirts of an abandoned mountain path known as Yurei-no-Toge, or “Pass of the Ghost.” In the 1700s, a village at its edge vanished during a week-long fog. Survivors from neighboring towns spoke of mournful chanting echoing from the woods and trees that grew teeth. It was believed the villagers attempted a forbidden Shinto rite known as Kokuchi Kuyo—meant to bury sorrow in silence.

At the heart of the forest is a sunken shrine built for a nameless kami of memory and regret. Legend says the spirit grants peace to the grieving—but demands they give up their name and shadow. Those who fail the offering become part of the forest’s "chorus."

Since 1981, hikers have reported inverted bird calls, missing time, and reflections that do not match their movements.

🧑‍🔬 Research Team:

• 1 folklore linguist (University of Kyoto)

• 2 NPAJ operatives

• 1 sound wave analyst

• 1 shrine interpreter (elder monk from Izumo Taisha)

Objective: Locate the Yurei-no-Toge shrine and verify claims of non-local audio disturbances tied to ancestral rituals

📆 Event Timeline

• Nov 12: Arrival. Fog begins at sunrise. Trees appear older than documented. Photographer notes whispers in still imagery.

• Nov 13: Shadows delay movement by several seconds. Mirrors show facial expressions the subjects are not making.

• Nov 14: Interpreter awakens with mud-filled mouth. He draws a ritual symbol representing “unspoken confession.”

• Nov 15: Shrine located. Bells ring without physical interaction. Inside: braided hair nailed into the altar, folded paper with untranslatable ink bleeding upward.

• Nov 16: One team member vanishes. Found later inside a cedar root, humming lullabies heard only on reel-to-reel tape.

• Nov 17–18: All survivors experience shared dreams of walking through upside-down Torii gates into silence. Sound analyst reports forest suppresses vocal frequencies linked to grief.

• Nov 19: Shrine interpreter disappears. Final note reads:

• Nov 20: Emergency extraction authorized. Remaining members suffer reversed memory flow—recalling future events out of order.

🧬 Anomalous Features

Echo Lag: Voices echo with past emotion—meaning changes despite identical words

🪞 Reflection Discord: Reflections act independently; in one video, a researcher’s reflection walks into the shrine alone

🌳 Memory Sap: Trees near the shrine bleed translucent resin. Chemical tests show structures resembling human brain matter

🏮 Ritual Significance: The Kokuchi Kuyo rite was banned in 1792 for “excessive spiritual erosion.” Its final line, recovered on a damaged scroll, reads:

“Name what you lost, then lose what you named.”

The shrine now sits beneath layers of fog so thick it absorbs sound. Locals say if you scream inside it, your voice doesn’t come back.
