Crazy Ghost (Japanese: クレイジーゴースト, kurejī gōsuto) also known as Red-Eyed Woman (Japanese: 赤目女, akame onna) is an image of a pale-faced, red-eyed woman that is used in many screamers. In China, the image is known as 一只可愛的女鬼寵物 (Pinyin: Yī zhī kě'ài de nǚ guǐ chǒngwù, “cute female ghost pet”).
Origin and Spread
Crazy Ghost originated on a Korean site, myhome.hananet.net/~crazyghost/goto.htm, as early as January 2002. Upon opening the page, the website would open a pop-up containing the image accompanied by a scream.
In October 2002, the image was published to two subpages of a private website belonging to a Chinese university student, vip.6to23.com/jpgman/gui/mm.htm and vip.6to23.com/jpgman/gui/gui.htm. Upon accessing the mm.htm page, the user is met with a dialog box that says 音量调到最大了吗?? ("Is the volume turned all the way up?"). After clicking the OK button, the Crazy Ghost image appears alongside g.wav, an audio file consisting of a female scream. The page opens another dialog box when the user attempts to leave the page, which says 哟,怎么你的胆量还可以啊 ("Well, you've got a lot of nerve"). Unlike mm.htm, gui.htm had no image or sound file in its source code, and was likely designed to to redirect the user to mm.htm.[1]
In 2009, the image was reprinted on a Japanese website called 魔を祓う部屋 (ma o harau heya, "Room for Exorcising Demons") under the name クレイジーゴースト.[2] A moeified version of Crazy Ghost, called キャー子さん (Kyāko-san),[3] was posted on Futaba Channel.[4][5]
