    Seth Breedlove Seth Breedlove Director Lyle Blackburn Lyle Blackburn as Narrator
    One of the most frightening of American urban myths is the legend of The Mothman, a red-eyed creature seen by some as a harbinger of doom in 1960s rural West Virginia, where sightings of the winged demonic beast were first documented near an old munitions dump known by locals as TNT. Many believe the Mothman to be a 1960’s phenomenon, an omen only appearing before tragedy, and disappearing after a flap of sightings and the subsequent Silver Bridge collapse in 1967. But what if there’s more? What if the origins of this omen trace back much further and go much deeper than anyone realized? And what if…the sightings never ended?

    Kisaragi Station is an urban legend about a fictional railway station in an alternate universe where people can end up by accident. Folklore researcher Haruna Tsutsumi interviews Sumiko Hayama, who claims she visited Kisaragi Station in 2004 and managed to return. Hayama recounts her story: she ended up on a train platform on a seemingly abandoned village with five other victims: three hoodlums, a salaryman and a high school girl named Asuka. After narrowly escaping various supernatural threats they found a glowing portal, and Hayama ended up back in the real world alone – though seven years had passed, and it was 2011. Haruna follows the same steps as Hayama and ends up at Kisaragi Station herself. She finds the same people Hayama met, unknowingly trapped in an endless time loop. Armed with the knowledge of the events that will happen, Haruna tries to help them to the exit.
