In 2023, a strange photograph began circulating online, disturbing thousands of people. It showed an elderly man being arrested by the police, his face completely swollen, his eyes distorted, and a strange mark on his forehead that resembled the number 7 or some kind of ritual symbol. His appearance was so disturbing that social media quickly began comparing him to Lord Voldemort, the famous villain from the "Harry Potter" film series. Others said he looked like a zombie or a character from a Japanese horror movie. But behind that viral image lay a story far stranger and darker than most imagined.
The man in the photograph was named Hirohito Shibuya. A self-proclaimed Japanese fortune teller obsessed with extraterrestrials, hypnosis, and ghosts, he had managed for years to convince numerous women to abandon their everyday lives and move with him to a mysterious cult house located near Tokyo. There, the victims became trapped in a completely distorted reality, where they had to obey him as if he were a kind of spiritual guide chosen by supernatural forces.
