\\xa0 \\xa0 In 2002, a movie called The Ring was released. It told the story of a girl that had been thrown into a well and then came back as a vengeful spirit that chose her victims via a video tape. Once someone watched the video, they would get a call saying that they would die in seven days. While it did make for some pretty gory death scenes, as a whole idea, to me at least, was pretty ridiculous. That's why it was kind of mind blowing and all together exciting when I discovered that the film was loosely based on an actually event, The Legend of Okiku.
