In 1968, a certain apartment building was constructed. But, in spite of the fact that it was a brand-new building, three yokai took up residence. One by one, the human residents flee in terror. Bewildered, the married couple who own the apartments put a letter in the yokai post... In the present day, the couple's grandchild Natsumi is the only one living in the old apartments. Just when Natsumi decides to have the apartments demolished and move somewhere new with her fiancée, Kitaro arrives. He asks Natsumi to rethink her decision to have the apartments torn down and starts telling her the history surrounding the building.
You don't find dank, dreary and
comfortable homes like this every day.
يصعب إيجاد منزل رطب 
.وكئيب ومريح كهذا
So dunkle, klamme, ungemütliche
Häuser findet man sonst kaum.
No hay lugares tan húmedos, tristes
y cómodos como este en todos lados.
No hay un sitio tan húmedo, triste
y cómodo como este.
Ce sera dur de trouver une maison
aussi morne et accueillante.
Di case umide, tetre e confortevoli come questa
 non se ne trovano così spesso!
Não se acham casas úmidas, enfadonhas
e confortáveis como essa todos os dias.
В наши дни такой сырой, мрачный 
и удобный дом тяжело найти.
