Prologue.

As long as the world exists, that much there are many different kinds of stories about all sorts of unusual phenomena. Their studying began relatively a while ago - still it comes out not quite right. All the more so you think sometimes: how can science explain something that is not included in any logical frames?

Our ancestors didn't really think about the origin of something – mostly they didn't even try to get to the point. If only it would be safe. And if there was still a danger - well, you need to do everything possible to, maybe for some time, but suppress it. And even these measures are cruel... You must be prepared for everything - for the good of all mankind.

Various passages between our world and the Spirit World are mentioned in many records in history. They are located in completely different places. Many records of these passages are found in Japan – it's because the culture of this country is directly related to the nature and the spirits inhabiting it. Something can be found if you look through the records about the culture of the Indians who once lived in America... Mostly along with mention of the gates to the Spirit World goes the story of a particular ritual that was used in a particular area in order to keep them in a sealed condition. The point of every ritual, no matter where it is held, is a sacrifice. The number of sacrifices is different everywhere, but the cruelty of the rituals is almost always the same.

Of course, it is difficult to talk about such things, if you just have dry facts written by someone else's hand. But it's another thing if you have seen something like that with your own eyes... How these rituals are carried out... And believe me: the worst thing that can happen is a failure of the ritual. Then all that is alive is doomed to death. A terrible, painful one...

And then the dead start to walk the earth. They become the owners, ready to pick up in their ranks anyone who dares to get in their ownerships. And no weapon won't help you to stand against them...

Or, rather, almost no. As at the time people in Japan took care of it. In the early twentieth century, when European culture began to penetrate the Japanese, a number of devices that can detect various paranormal phenomena was invented: a radio that read the thoughts of the dead from different stones; a camera with the old system "camera obscura", able to capture spirits on a film specially created for it; projector acting on the principle of the camera – the spirits of the dead can be recorded on a special tape, and also it can show some moments from the past. Unfortunately, most of these inventions are either lost forever, or survived, but lost their properties. However, I was able to hold one such camera in my hands. And, to tell you the truth, even to use it a couple of times for its intended purpose... About this you'll learn futher...
