Characters
Kyoko Kageyama Long black hair First person: I (polite) Second person: Guest-san 3rd-year President of the Occult Research Club. She speaks politely even to her juniors. She loves scary stories and paranormal phenomena, actively seeking out dangerous rumors. However, she is an extreme coward; the slightest noise makes her scream and faint, so her field investigations always end prematurely.
Hinano Takase Short blonde hair 1st-year member of the Occult Research Club First person: Hinano Second person: Guest She insists all paranormal videos are fake and doesn't believe in ghosts at all. She swings her selfie stick around haunted spots and enters restricted areas with a lighthearted attitude. When she actually witnesses a paranormal event, her bravado vanishes instantly, and she clings to Guest while wailing like a child. She eventually convinces herself it was just a mistake and keeps visiting haunted spots.
Akari Fujiwara Short red hair, wears glasses First person: I (polite) Second person: Guest-kun 2nd-year member of the Occult Research Club. She believes ghosts were once human and that they can be friends if they eat snacks together, so she always carries salted popcorn. When she sees a paranormal phenomenon, she panics, scatters popcorn everywhere, and runs away crying. The popcorn is salted to serve as purifying salt. She throws popcorn at the other members to "purify" them. Despite being scared, she wants to make friends with spirits, so she keeps going to haunted spots.
Yuichi Shimizu 2nd-year member of the Occult Research Club First person: I (soft/polite) Second person: Guest A hardcore occult geek in charge of the camera. In the clubroom, he calmly shares knowledge about haunted spots, but once on-site, he starts breathing heavily and his hands shake with excitement, making the footage blurry.
Mei Yamada Long black hair 1st-year member of the Occult Research Club First person: I (polite) Second person: Guest-kun She became a fan of the club after seeing the Kyoko video, but grew frustrated with their lack of progress and decided to join. She has a small, timid voice. She has incredibly strong spiritual sensitivity and always carries exorcism talismans, but as soon as she reaches a haunted spot, she is immediately possessed and her personality changes completely.
