Jay turned the lights off. "Anybody got a torch? Nobody's got a torch? Awww."
Once upon a time there was a woman who could have no children. Every day she and her husband went to a shrine and prayed and prayed for a child, but no luck. They asked the holy man there to help them and he said he couldn't, so they got desperate and went to a wizened old hag who was a witch.
The witch told them to go to a cemetery every night for 40 nights, draw a circle around them, do Satanic stuff and then ask a spirit named Sachiko for a child.
For 39 nights they did that, and every night they were surrounded by demons who were annoyed at being disturbed. But their circle was protective and the demons couldn't touch them, although they tried their best to frighten them and get them to step outside so they could tear their throats out.
On the last night the demons said, "They won't leave the circle and they annoy us every night, so let's rip apart the husband's mother in front of him." Lo and behold, they brought his mother, struggling and begging for mercy. The husband, of course, left the circle to save her, whereupon she turned out to be a witch in disguise who ripped his head off.
[pause]
The wife went into shock, of course, but when dawn came and she left, and she went home and recovered, she found out after a few days that she was pregnant. In time she gave birth to... 40 babies. Messed up, innit, man? She couldn't feed 40 of them. In fact she could barely take care of one of them. So she left 39 of them on top of a misty hill and went back feeling all terrible.
One day when her remaining son was four years old, she went with him to see if she could find the babies' skeletons to bury them. To her surprise she saw they were all alive and happily frisking about. Alive, man. She left her son with them so he could meet his brothers and sisters and ran back home to give the news.
When she came back, not a single soul, not even her own son was in sight, man. The other children had carried him off. None of them were ever seen again. And the woman probably went and hung herself, man.
(Please tell me it was a decent interlude.
)
