2005 Like Experiencing the Real Poltergeist

Title: Like Experiencing the Real Poltergeist¶

Folklore Type: memorate, dream ¶

Contents:¶

"The Fatal Frame series is inspired by my own nightmares. It's the worst nightmare imaginable.

There is another important factor. I personally have experienced poltergeists since I was young. I can't forget what I saw and heard during those encounters. The way the ghosts look and sound in the game is an accurate portrayal of what I've experienced. Some of the ghosts' sound was done by me because I knew how to accurately replicate the sound. Therefore, playing Fatal Frame is like experiencing the real poltergeist."
