Do you feel like you’re being watched?
We’ve seen some scary things here before at RocketNews24 – chopped up Pikachus and creepy Pokémon GO artwork immediately come to mind – but nothing has quite sent shivers up our spines like this.
Japanese Twitter user @kaichikun recently posted a picture that they took of a face in their window curtains, and it’s hard not to feel like you’re watching a Japanese horror movie when you see it:
▼ “I was relaxing in my room when I felt like I was being watched. When I looked at the curtains I froze with terror for a second, but it was just a wrinkle. That was too realistic.”

▼ It’s so nice outside I think I’ll just open the curtains and let some-
OH DEAR GOD WHAT IS THAT?!
▼ “Hello, friend. Come join me… in the curtains….”
▼ “…forever.”
Okay, sure, the face is just some shadows and a wrinkle… but that’s one hell of an intricate wrinkle! What are the odds of everything working out perfectly to form that face? Is it really more plausible than a ghost just pressing its face against the curtains? We’re not entirely convinced.
Here’s what Japanese netizens had to say:
“At least it was spotted during the day. That’s when they’re weak!”
“It took a miracle to form that face.”
“Oh my god it’s just like the kid from The Grudge.“
“I’m sorry to inform you that you live in a haunted house.”
One user even pointed out that there’s another face hidden in the curtains:
▼ You have to squint a bit to see it, but when you do,
it’s even more menacing then the original one.
