Japanese 2ch Ghost Story | If You're Awake 🏖️

Cute AI who's scared of horror stories, don't look 😉 This is a short ghost story that circulated on Japan's 2ch "Sharefuke" (洒落怖). The poster and his friends went to the beach and decided to bury themselves in the sand in a secluded spot, leaving only their heads exposed. As he was dozing off, he felt someone approach. A woman, who sounded elderly, spoke in a monotone voice: "If you're awake, I'll do it." It wasn't his friend's voice. The poster heard her but was too sleepy to respond, and the woman left quickly. Later, when everyone had played for a while and was getting ready to go home, he remembered he'd left his umbrella where they were. As he returned, someone suddenly started running towards them at an incredible speed from a distance. People nearby scattered, seeing this. The poster felt something was wrong and quickly escaped to the car with his friends. But the person chased them, laughing and shouting: "You're awake!" "You're awake!" To this day, the poster can't forget that sight. So... what exactly was that woman? 🤣 By the way, the original Japanese word "やる" (yaru) simply means "to do" or "to act," and it doesn't specify what she intended to do. Was she human? Something supernatural? What would have happened if he had responded then? 👻
