Fatal Frame | The Real Ghost Stories Behind the Games 

Spirit: *Groan.* Shibata: *Squirts Febreeze.* No!

That's...being scared. Lol

I believe the developer and his team. Some people do see spirits and have experiences with the paranormal. Not everyone has a sixth sense, but it can be put into a perspective such as a game or a movie for others to see what it's like.

I believe that would be it. I hallucinate noise one time when I pushed myself so far and for so long that I heard a whipping sound stay still in one place. It sounded like a ring being thrown, but instead of the sound going further away, it stayed in one place.

Yeh because this is way too much. Too many instances.

From what I know and found out, stuff like angel, god, and spirits seems to 'exist' but in a way that bends human understanding. By that I mean those names are just 'labels' humanity invented and are convenient to use. They are essentially 'entities' that can take on many forms basically, and they exist as forms of energy more so. On stuff like spiritual awakenings that some humans seems to get, and getting 'contact' by angel and supposedly the 'god' itself, it's often in cryptic puzzling forms of visions and emotions or information that pulses through said person. There are even statements that say that when a 'angel' or 'god' communicates with a spiritually awakened person (someone who I think is at their weakest mental state in life), euphoria in the form of 'spiritual orgasm' or a vertigo without the anxiety aspect, is felt running down your spine... As if it can 'trigger' the dopamine in human brains to be released for split seconds? If it comes to negativity, as in saying something which gets a negative reaction from them, you get the feeling of 'dread' and 'fear' running down your spine, with goosebumps. *This kind of hypothesis gives me a bit of dread because this is how you also brainwash individuals to align their thoughts and ideology to what you deem to permit too.* Hypnosis for instance can 'reprogram' a mind to function differently if the mind is malleable (vulnerable) enough. Social media can trigger these positive/negative feelings with the media you see, or the responses you get from other 'humans', whether they be bots or trolls. Now when it comes to ghosts and entities like them, they seem to fall in a similar category in a way, since they embody 'emotions' of a sense, and those same emotions can trigger the 'euphoria' or 'dread' in humans as well, maybe with less 'intelligence' of that sense since they may not communicate properly. I saw a thumbnail of a 'biblogically accurate angel' (RU-vid) on description in the bible to one, and it was a 3d model of a giant four winged eyeball with 5 eyes, which makes me think that the 'angel and god' entities can basically shape shift, or in essence has no physical bodies, hence they can 'create' the illusion of one in our minds, like schizophrenic patients would see things that is not there. This makes me wonder if these entities are there in the 'open space' but at the same time isn't, because they may be living in our 'mind'? A computer simulation is the best analogy of these things, if you look at the universe and the humanity as part of a 'simulation' of a bigger picture.

In a way I wonder about the concept of "existence". When many people buys a false pretense of a ghost that exists in a specific location with a description, the 'power' of all these minds accepting the entity exist, may actually 'create' said entity in said space when they enter the environment that matches what they know. Your brain can be weaponized against you with the power of human imagination. With a big enough lie you can make a ghost become real, or the opposite is true, make a ghost become non-existent by fooling everyone of the opposite pretense. In the past I also questioned about the human mind, everyone can be living their own POV, and everyone else that interacts with them are merely figments of their POV'er mind. Everyone is real, but everyone you interact in your own POV is not real, due to the nature of parallel and multiple universes that can exist all at once. Long story short, this just means that everyone's POV is their own mini-universe. This also leads into the hypothesis of 'fate/destiny' if we could change our future or if it's set in stone and we only 'think' we have that option.

I think she is the more scary ghost of the first game. Frequently appearing out of nowhere, sometimes, she even appears really close to Miku and attacks her immediately after that, giving no time to the player to escape.

" You.................... too...? IT HURTS"

The first time I saw blinded, I was like "&%$#@**,;&%!!! Get me the%$&* outta here!!!"

Honestly this is why FF3 is my favorite. Not only because the gameplay but it had the best story and ending.

Right? Those were my thoughts!

What if it's not a haunting but a demon? or an angry type person?

I've lived in haunted houses long before I collected and played the first 3 so I already had the party before it was ever brought in 😊

I've had paranormal experiences happen while playing the game or while trying to complete a playthrough. "What a nice game - wait why are my papers moving?"

the sound design in this game is unreached, if you compare it to other horror games. (speaking of the mentioned ghost and horror sounds, not menu stuff)

@@MaxKusari that's awesome but I thought they mentioned this was a real life phenomenon also. Maybe I misheard. Still a great mechanic and might sway me to grab one of the games to try it.

Same. I wanna know more about this sound

@@stormtrooper2425 Me too. I never heard of ghosts having a unique sound and I have heard my fair share of EVPs.

Their all slowly being remade on switch tho and its causinng the audience to expand so maybe more new games in future?

Very common in demonic strongholds.

@@guitarspud1723 demons have nothing to do with it. Look up the science behind sleep paralysis on RU-vid. Its really not that deep

don't know but, modern witchcraft says that you can cleanse with almost anything, even with music or yelling for example. sage isn't the only thing especially since types of sage are closeted in some cultures. example smudging is a closeted practice of indigenous and native people.

Personally, I think it is likely part advertising - I'm sure if someone hire up heard this stuff was 'happening' they'd capitalize on it - but I could also imagine how working on this kind of project could get you worked up, and so many of the stories happen when these people are alone in the middle of the night at work, seems like the prime situation to get yourself worked up over nothing. But who the heck knows what's happening with Shibata, the man's life is a mystery.

@@thegamingmuse Maybe, that is how he motivates his team to be able to create that excellent horror games that the Fatal Frame titles are... or maybe he really goes around with a spray hunting ghost like in the old MacVenture game: Uninvited ;)

That’s what I’m thinking. It feels like a lot of fabricated hype for the video game. If he is experiencing these things, I honestly wonder if he has some sort of disorder, if these are actual experiences he’s had. The Febreze situation especially feels like a “rationalization” moment to me.

Honestly, it could be a combination of both. Most of these stories he tells could be him trying to rationalize things he’s experiencing.

Yeah, it looks like just a marketing gimmick from FF creator. It's kinda like the same as the Castlevania developer who puts the persona of a mysterious vampire to promote the game.

@@impalabeeper Honestly tho

Or maybe they were all dreams.

to be fair, they always looked like that... it was just because of technical limitation, that the first ones didn't appear like this. 😅

sounds like a personal problem more than anything

Yeah the 5th game had too much sexualization like other tecmo games like DOA 😅

Thats deep bro

a fantastic game

Honestly he comes off more neurospicy to me but I guess that could be percieved as "creepy"
