I actually find the first urban legend strangely comforting, especially if a child is near death and gets to be with these creatures. Death is very depressing no doubt, but if I was near death and I saw these creatures that decided they would want to be seen by me, I would find it strange but very lovely. I would rather be transported to an after life by a Catbus or flown up to the heavens by Totoro using an umbrella to fly up.

Well, even if it was true , the animators would say it isn't... So that it wouldn't be spoilt for children ...

[@edgarallanpoestheblackcat6613]

So we’ll never know for sure whether it is true or not

[@darahsuci8578]

Satsuki & Mei means "may". The month when sayama incident was happened

[@debbralehrman5957]

Thank you. I never heard the urban legends. I am glad you told what Miyazaki has said. Now I can watch again.

[@WillScarlet16]

Every time I hear this theory it really pisses me off. I honestly think if Miyazaki meant the movie to be one big allegory about death he'd make it clearer than that. His movies may be frustratingly vague sometimes, but he's NEVER vague on whether his characters are in a tragedy or not.

also i noticed in the movie when tsasuki went to search for mei she met a weird man who was digging a hole in a farm and she asked him if he saw her sister ,and in the real story the kidnapper killed the younger sis and buried her in a farm.... this is very weird and scary

[@muhibbuddinghazali]

My sister says that was the totoro story about a child gone

😮😮😮😮😮

[@edgarallanpoestheblackcat6613]

I wouldn’t doubt it being a hoax. There’s just too much evidence pointing the theory being true if you ask me

[@Lalo-uu4dg]

Even if that wasn't true, that was still a fun theory.

[@JayVBear45]

I despise robo voices.

[@chrispysaid]

It wonder what the truth is.

[@Duck-bruv]
