 赤い部屋 (Akai heya) The Red Room Curse

The story of the "Red Room Curse" goes that there is an alleged pop-up that asks a target: "Do you like—?" in a child-like voice.

If the target closes the pop-up, it will pop up again, asking again: "Do you like—?" in a more distorted voice.

If the user continues to close the pop-ups, it will eventually change the question to: "Do you like red?"

Again, if the user continues to close the pop-up, the pop-up will eventually complete its question and ask: "Do you like the red room?"

A website will then pop up containing a list of people's names—the target's name is also listed.

Suddenly, the target will feel a presence behind them.

When the target is discovered, it will seem as though they committed suicide—after having painted the room in which they were found, red, with their own blood.

Yes, it's pretty scary, but take solace in the fact that it is just an internet legend. However, real life can be stranger than fiction. This particular flash animation was a favorite of the killer in the infamous Sasebo Slashing. The Sasebo Slashing is especially horrific due to the fact that the killer was a 12-year old junior high school classmate of the victim.
