Sotsugyo ryokou. Oh. I think. What was that? High school sotsugyo. Yeah.
I know. Sotsugyo. And my family. Okay. Yeah. That's the two times I've been there. And um
Kiyomizudera was under construction a little bit. Oh still. Yeah. Yeah.
So yeah it wasn't as uh crowded too. And um
Yeah. You went to uh some bad place huh? Bad place? I mean uh
the Kiyomizudera. At the Kiyomizudera temple you went to. Yeah. Yeah. It's a very scary story. Yeah.
So there's a the other on the back of Kiyomizudera. So there's this little watery place.
There's a well. Yeah. With water pouring down from up above. Okay. It's uh no one really goes there.
I just had the curiosity of going on the back. Not the main main Taki area right? Right. Not the main
Taki area. It's a little small whatever it's called. I don't know what they're calling it in Japanese
either. But like this like water area behind it. And they have this little fuda. Ofuda. Ofuda with
names on it. Oh right. Yeah. Yeah. I at that time I didn't know what that was. But um I took the water
06:00
from the well which had the ofuda on it. And I splashed it on my arm because it was hot outside.
And the water was really cool. And I felt good. So I did that several times. And I said thank you.
I did say thank you to whatever it was. Okay. And um I yeah I I splashed some water from the well.
I went back to the main street and then the day finished. Okay. Later on I went uh uh came back to
yeah here. And uh did some recording for youtube. And the the camera guy cameraman
was like hey Kevin uh I'm getting some weird autofocus on your shoulder. Like I'm getting some
autofocus points that really doesn't happen all the time. And I'm getting them on the shoulder.
Like I was like that's when it really connected. Like oh I think it's the wow the time when I splashed
some water from the ofuda. The people who died. Um that's for keep something that within that place.
Like you know if if if there is some some place that so many weird things is happening.
We put like oinori, juman, go pray and put ofuda on it. So that no like evil or you know things will
cannot come. Okay that is thanks to that ofuda protection. So the water that I splashed was
probably could be like the whatever it was holding down. You really could have been released onto me.
Right. But uh I on the day that you know the autofocus happened I freaked out. And uh
like you guys told me to splash some salt. Yeah salt. Yeah and I did that and um that night. And uh
on the next filming yeah uh the autofocus was gone. So I'm hoping that that really solved
whatever the issue was. Yeah that was pretty scary. That was really scary. Yeah it was. Like
