Cursed poem
Source: http://tinyurl.com/45xuebv
This is popular Japanese story is about a poem called "Tomino's Hell."
They say that you should only read with your mind, and never out loud.
If you were to read it out loud, then you must take responsibility for your actions.
"Tomino's Hell" (トミノの地獄) is written by Yomota Inuhiko (四方田 犬彦) in a book called "The Heart is Like a Rolling Stone" (心は転がる石のように),
And was included in Saizo Yaso's (西條 八十) 27th collection of poems in 1919.
It's not sure how this rumor started, but there's only a warning that "If you read this poem out loud, tragic things (凶事) will happen."
It just looks like a curse.
It asks to not compare this with the common "You'll grow taller" or even "My parents died."
Do you get a sense of how dangerous this is?
This story used to be very popular in 2ch, and there were many people taking pictures and videos as proof and posting them on 2ch.
There were many users that said that nothing happened, but there were also many posts that didn't have the user come back to post the results.
I think it's more scary than someone posting that someone else got sick or that someone else passed away.
But if you were to read it out loud, it's better to read it in Japanese rather than the translation.

Going to Another World (elevator ver.)
Source: http://blog.naver.com/anab7205?Redirect=Log&logNo=110096679065
You must be in a 10+ story building and in the elevator alone. If someone is in the elevator with you, it won't work.
1. Get on the elevator on the 1st floor.
2. Press 4 and when you reach the 4th floor, don't get out and press 2.
3. When you reach 2nd floor, press 6.
4. When you reach 6th floor, press 2.
5. When you reach 2nd floor, press 10.
6. When you reach 10th floor, press 5.
7. When you reach the 5th floor, a girl will come in. That woman is not human. Don't talk or look at the girl. If you do, she'll take you away.
8. Press 1, and if the elevator instead starts going up to the 10th floor, then you have succeeded. You will have reached another world where there is no one except you.
9. If you get off at the 10th floor, the girl will ask, "Where are you going?" But don't answer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To return:
1. If the woman doesn't get on AND if you don't get off at the 10th floor.
2. If you don't get off at the 10th floor, then press 1. If it doesn't press, keep on pressing until it works.
To return after you get off:
1. You must use the same elevator to go back.
2. Do the 4-2-6-2-10-5 combo again.
3. After you reach the 5th floor, press 1.
4. As you're going up the 10th floor, press some other number to cancel.
5. After you reach the 1st floor, check your surroundings.
When you return to your house after you faint:
If you were to faint in the process and wake up to find yourself in your own house, there's a high chance that you'll be taken back to the world again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What the otherworld looks like:
It looks the same as the town/buildling that you are from, but all the lights are off and you can only see a red cross in the distance.
There is no other living things there except yourself.
Some say electronics (cellphone, camera, etc.) don't work while some say they do.
Also, some say that getting back to the real world is harder for some reason.
You get disorientated and forget the elevator you came on, or somehow the elevator seems to get further and further away as you walk towards it.
