Strange & Mysterious Encounters - Stories from my time in Japan.

[@ClefairyFairySnowflake]

Your stories were very interesting and thought provoking. I'm eager to see a part 2!

[@vchandrapete]

Very interesting stories!😊

[@Exjapter]

Thank you very much!

[@pezpengy9308]

thank you for the upload this was great to listen to on a rainy day.

[@Exjapter]

Happy you enjoyed it!

Awesome videos, I miss this one. About the old woman that took a shine to your brother in law, that might have been a Kami-sama. When I started following Shinto. I dreamt of an old japanese woman dressed in a white kimono. I was following her on a sandy plateau full of sunlight. She led me past the rusting wrecks of old world war 2 warships both japanese and American. She pointed to the ships and said you see these? I answered her saying yes. She said: this is the past. It is not now. I feel she was one of the Kami-sama encouraging me to follow my path. Arigato gozainasu 🙏

[@Exjapter]

That's a fair theory - there was certainly something mysterious there, but it seemed to be born of love and spirit.

[@richt63]

@@Exjapter it was a very personal and spiritual experience. I was touched. I told a Shinto priest and Miko in correspondence. They were amazed. Thank you for your response 🙏

[@pepsitate8019]

Looking forward to part 2

[@Exjapter]

Thank you! You aren't alone in that it seems, so I will be sure to do it soon.

Nice video as always. Some nice stories, I always like to hear about anecdotes. I think I liked the last story the most, that was certainly an interesting coincidence..? (Or something more..! Lol) As for this type of video, I certainly would like to hear more personal stories about your time in Japan, if you haven't already.

[@Exjapter]

The response has been really positive, so there will certainly be a part 2.

[@YCAPofficial]

Looking forward to part 2! But it is clear that the black thing in the sky is a cloud...

[@wallym1111]

I was waiting for a Yokai story 🙂. I always love your videos

[@Exjapter]

Thank you. I havent seen a real yokai, although I would like to, I think.

[@HaiTomVlog]

It was nice to hear these stories! A good mix I think 👍🏼

[@Exjapter]

Thanks for commenting - I was wondering how my regular viewers and commenters would feel about something a bit different.

[@scruffy2629]

Great stories!! i Like this as well as your normal format, very cool 😊

[@Exjapter]

Thank you. I enjoyed telling the stories as a change of pace.

[@infopubs]

I enjoyed these stories very much!

[@Exjapter]

Thank you!

[@elenakursteiner4729]

Fantastic topics ❤ THANKS 🙏👍

[@Exjapter]

Thank you for watching!

[@EvgenyUskov]

very eloquent and captivating storytelling. might as well be used as an English language studying material. i learned a new word - "surly"

[@Exjapter]

Glad to hear! Thanks for watching.

[@maccody8022]

Thought-provoking stories! Thanks for sharing!

[@Exjapter]

[@bryandavidasuncion9515]

Looking forward for more. Something a little different is nice once in a while

[@Exjapter]

Thank you. The response has been positive, so there will be a part 2 for sure.

I am now in Japan, and 2 days ago i was heading to a shinto shrine in Onomichi. I walked a huge stairs and behind me was a woman going the same way. She was a view steps behind of me and i heard her walking up like i did. When i came up i expected she should be up there by this time, but when looking i found out she disappeared🤯

[@Exjapter]

Wow! That is spooky.

[@TkyoSam]

Listened to this while working out today. Fuck yeah dude. Appreciate ya.

[@Exjapter]

Which was your favorite?

[@flynomadic999]

Epic Bob story!

[@ThomsenTower]

I enjoyed this video, though I hope it's just an occasional detour, and this doesn't turn into a channel about witchcraft or UFOs!🤣 I prefer your insightful observations of everyday life in this fascinating country. (Although I found the story involving your brother-in-law not only intriguing but also moving.) However, I understand that coming up with fresh topics week after week must be challenging. On a completely different note, I've noticed something: When watching some of the "walking videos," often live, in Tokyo, I notice that no passerby stares at the camera or the KZbinr. It's a full-on "mind your own business" attitude! However, in your videos, I often see people looking back at you, like the lady at around 17:03. I wonder if this is because your walking area isn't as much of a "big city" as Tokyo?

[@Exjapter]

Don't worry! It might disappoint some people, but I only have a Part 2 planned for these stories and that'll be it. That's an interesting observation about the walking. I don't really watch other walkabout channels so I have no frame of reference.

[@myggggeneration]

Good stories :-) - I skipped the third one - thanks for the warning.

[@Exjapter]

It occurred to me only right before I finished editing that I should say something. Glad I did!

That’s why we say, “Duck” when going under something or when something is threatening our heads!

[@Exjapter]

Trend setting at duck danchi!

[@elenakursteiner4729]

The thirty story remind me of a famous Man(Alber Einstein?) who say:Past,present and future lying in the same timeline but some people can feel it❤

[@denisetopaz1598]

Dunno but prefer to go with the spooky explanations.

[@Exjapter]

They are certainly more fun!

[@SenatorBanana]

Given the high likelihood of everyone on earth having at least one doppelganger, perhaps the little Japanese woman was his Japanese doppelgangers mother?

[@Exjapter]

Every so often I see someone and I think - they look like the Japanese version of _____________

[@flynomadic999]

Duck story sounds like a low key hate crime

[@Exjapter]

Yeah...but where did they get the duck? That's the part that always throws me.

[@OnlyOneNights]

Does 'Bob' ever mention this event in casual conversation? I'd be intrigued to hear his feelings about it after being removed from it for a bit of time.

[@Exjapter]

That's a good question - I should bring it up with him again. It's been a number of years....

[@gwenhie1]

Resilient City is a evolved "danchee" in Kanazawa ward. PEACE❤

[@Exjapter]

Danchi manshon? (o-o)/

[@shivicyujjito]

No part 2 about bob?

[@Exjapter]

I dont think he had any more such encounters.
