This can be good.
The New York Times reports that a rock in Japan known as the Killing Stone is broken in half and could release an evil spirit. The demon is said to be deadly to humans. Cool.
The volcanic rock was split in Nikko National Park. It was six feet tall and 26 feet in diameter when it was whole. Park rangers had been watching a crack in the rock for years, so at least the split wasn't a complete surprise.
The rock was said to have been haunted by an evil fox spirit for 1000 years. The spirit is said to have haunted the rock after Toba was killed. Palace guards shot at the spirit with arrows and turned it into a rock.
The stone has been blamed for many deaths in the area. People think that the split might have unleashed the demon on the world and caused untold destruction.
The public interest in the rock's split is a good indicator of what the world has become as of late, according to Nick Kapur, a professor of Japanese history at Rutgers University.
There is a kind of apocalyptic sense in the air, with the coronaviruses and the war in Ukraine.
He's not wrong either. Things are looking more dire than ever because of the global Pandemic that has claimed millions of lives and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The worst of our issues might not be a cursed fox demon.
A killing stone was broken in Japan. Is a demon on the loose? The New York Times.
