Hyakumonogatari kaidankai also known as A gathering of 100 ghostly tales

Played during the summer. 100 candles would be placed in a circle, and players would each tell a ghoulish tale. Often a story from their local village. As each the tale ended, the storyteller would douse a single candle. The game was said to be a ritual of evocation. The expiration of each story and each candle summoning more spiritual energy. Transforming the room into a beacon for the dead. With the vanishing of final light, someone or something terible would be waiting in the darkness.
