The mysterious doll Okiku, which is constantly grow hair

Japanese folklore is replete with ghosts and various spirits, good and evil. In addition, there are stories about mystical dolls based on very real events.

About creepy Japanese doll named Okiku at the time, recognized all over the world. But its story began a century ago, in 1918. Then seventeen-year-old boy Eikichi Suzuki, wishing to make a gift to two-year-old sister Okiku, bought the doll in the shop on the street of Tanuki-koji in Sapporo (Hokkaido).

The girl was very pleased with the new toy and on the whole day, never parted with it, even took a walk. She loved her doll, called her his own name. Suddenly, the child became very ill, moreover, after some time died from complications of the flu.

In memory of his beloved daughter, but also because of her attachment to the doll parents put the toy in the home altar, where daily prayed for Okiku. Soon they began to notice something strange. Doll's hair, black and straight, began inconspicuously to increase in length as they grew like they were alive!.. And when they went down to his knees, the family finally believed that the doll, apparently possessed by the spirit of a dead Okiku. Parents began to cut the hair of the doll, and they each time had again grown up to the knees and stopped. Such hair was the deceased girl.

In 1938 the family moved to Sakhalin, however, the doll to take with afraid. Her wife brought to the temple, Manenji that is located in iwamizawa and by giving the Minister spoke about the amazing hair this strange toy. Ministers of the Church, not scared, but rather put Okiku-doll in the most prominent place in a specially made for this purpose, a wooden box.

There she is to this day. Ministers periodically cut the doll hair that grows at the same rate as a small child, and have the appropriate structure.

Regarding this phenomenon, there are several versions. For example, the fact that the spirit of the girl after her death, did not have time for whatever reasons (unknown to us) to leave our world and are lost among the living. The Ghost of Okiku three year old did the only right (even the original) step, instilling a favorite toy. Due to this, Okiku seemed to have received a second life, so inherent human trait – growth of hair – turned to her doll.

According to another version, the perpetrators of the incident were relatives of the dead girl who grieved so much that his thoughts gave the doll features Okiku. The idea is known, has tremendous power, so the girl can rest in peace, and became a prisoner of his own doll.

Whatever it was, the irrefutable fact: toy Okiku has constantly growing hair. But this mystical quality is purchased because the original doll was completely normal. Unusual it was in tragic circumstances. By the way, eyewitnesses testify that the toy actually seems alive, so that it is even scary to watch.

Despite the fact that the story of Okiku has long been known to the world, its mystery remains unsolved. No one has dared to explore this phenomenon, and maybe this oppose Ministers, Manenji. However, once the hair is mysterious dolls taken for analysis, which showed that they are indeed human. However, at the beginning of the last century, many dolls were made with the use of human hair, and therefore this circumstance will not suffice...
