Curse of Oyashiro: Difference between revisions

'''The strange deaths of priest and wife''', also known as '''the mysterious death of the Furude couple''', is the third incidence of the curse of Oyashiro. During the [[Watanagashi Festival]], the priest of the [[Furude Shrine]] began having heart problems and eventually collapsed. He was taken to the [[Irie Clinic]] but was ultimately pronounced dead from a heart attack. On the same night, the priest's wife went missing. Her slippers and a suicide note were found in front of the [[Onigafuchi swamp]], leading the public to believe that the priest's wife killed herself to appease Oyashiro's anger. In truth, the incident was orchestrated by the [[Mountain Hounds]] under orders from [[Miyo Takano]]. Miyo had the priest's wife killed as the wife had been attempting to withdraw her daughter, [[Rika Furude]], from the Irie Clinic's study on [[Hinamizawa Syndrome]]. The priest was killed to maintain the appearance of one death and one disappearance every year.
