The Shirogane tunnel located in Meguro, Tokyo, Japan according to urban legend is the shinigami’s (Japanese god of death [similar to the grim reaper]) gate way to the spiritual world. There have been sightings of unclear figures, visible for only a flash, standing in the middle of the road, and screaming faces have been seen silhouetted in the pillars of the tunnel. Some say the faces represent the victim’s lives he has taken, though others say the faces are shinigami’s own trying to scare away unwanted people. Some even believe they have seen shinigami cold and evil, crossing gateways to the spirit world.
