Odd

[edit]

These superstitions seem a little odd, slightly misregarding, a figment of sorts.

Needs to be seriously revised, & editing aswell would help, because it looks as if a middle school student wrote this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chalino1 (talkcontribs) 17 September 2007

Japan is widely considered to be the most haunted place on earth, I wonder that there is no section for it. Chris 03:55, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I agree. Japanese films creep me out.

Probably because there are insufficient Japanese editors on the English language site, and insufficient English language books about Japanese hauntings in the US.

"Japan is widely considered to be the most haunted place on earth," By whom? If we could get some information we could broaden the world-view some. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs) 20:12, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The claim is not stated in the source (failed verification), and I didn't find any other sources for this.

non sourced or poor sourced

[edit]

@TyNoOutlet: i just saw you reverted my edit. content like this should be referenced by reliable sources, otherwise it is either non-sourced or poorly sourced. i don't want to edit war so i didn't revert it. but be aware of non-reliable sources.Hfnreiwjfd (talk) 16:23, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rewording Overview

[edit]

I'm making minor changes to the overview portion of this article in order to help it flow better. Although the entire article could use some help. I'm just doing this for a college course. Lululimonade (talk) 23:17, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Superstition in Japanese films

[edit]
A crow's caw means something bad will happen.

Were Japanese films the first to do this, or was it already used by Hollywood? Viriditas (talk) 21:08, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

43 Unlucky - Dubious

[edit]

I discuss this more here.

TL;DR: I'm pretty sure that this is a case where the English language originator of this claim simply made it up, and it has since proliferated due to language barrier and the difficulty to fact check against Japanese language sources. Neon Spectra (talk) 20:57, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
