Six true ghost stories + J-Pop idols = your worst summer vacation ever.
For this 16th Anniversary Special, Inagaki Goro is our host once again for 6 spooky tales based on tales from real people and performed here by an all-star cast. A young man who returns to his family's home after leaving Tokyo finds something else may have followed after him; a young girl dreams of darkness and a small shrine that draws ever closer; a woman with a failed business makes a go at it with a company with a bizarre dormitory, one with a past secret; a police officer receives a call from what appears to be a dead woman who wants his help; a woman taking documents to a food company finds time slipping away without her noticing; a single man who runs a restaurant sees an unusual family living down the hallway from him.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This special revived the 'Honto ni Atta' franchise after a 5-year hiatus, leaning hard on Johnny's talent to pull younger demographics back to J-horror.
The time-slip office story was reportedly based on an actual 2channel post about a woman who delivered documents to a company that didn't seem to exist—she found it later demolished.
