Ju-On: White Ghost

The Isobe family, including Mirai and her uncle Atsushi, moves into a new house that sits on the site of a murder tied to Ju-On: Black Ghost. The house feels oppressive as whispers of the past linger. This move sets the stage for possession and looming violence.

Soon after moving in, Atsushi becomes controlled by a spirit from a mirror. He distances himself from the others and begins abusing Mirai. The haunting isolates the family and foreshadows the violence to come.

Two days before Christmas, Atsushi murders all of his family. He takes Mirai's severed head to a forest and records his last words with Mirai on a cassette before hanging himself. The cassette becomes cursed, killing listeners, and Det. Yasukawa notes that it cannot be discarded or destroyed anywhere.

The day after the murders, Fumiya the delivery boy brings a Christmas cake to the Isobe family and is tormented by the victims' ghosts. The spectral presence lingers in the home as the curse persists. This encounter shows how the tragedy continues to ripple outward.

Traumatized, Fumiya is comforted by his girlfriend Chiho as they celebrate Christmas Eve in their apartment. The lingering ghosts still press in on their lives. The scene hints at the mounting danger.

Fumiya sees Chiho as the grandmother's ghost and stabs her to death. This act shows how the haunting warps perception and unleashes new violence. It marks a brutal culmination of the initial horror.

Seven years later Mirai has a friend Akane Kashiwagi, now sixteen, who starts playing Kokkuri with Mayumi and Yuka. The game invites spirits and unease as memories of the Isobe tragedy begin to surface.

During the Kokkuri session, Mayumi suggests calling Akane's father, a taxi driver who disappeared seven years earlier after driving Atsushi to the forest. The suggestion ties the present game to the past and raises the stakes.

When the board spells Mirai, Akane glimpses Mirai's ghost and is forced to flee. The others remain puzzled as the supernatural presence becomes undeniable.

While Mayumi returns to class, Yuka goes to the restroom and encounters the grandmother's ghost. The encounter deepens the sense that the past still has power over the living.

Walking near the former Isobe household, Akane remembers that she did not help Mirai during her abuse and is left unsettled by visions and guilt. The memory links the present fear to past crimes.

Back at her home, Akane encounters Mirai's ghost, who leaves her a bear keychain as a keepsake. The token hints at a continuing connection and the persistence of the haunting.
