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 that consists of screams. It sends 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.
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")
Then reprinted on a Japanese website sonshi.xxxxxxxx.jp
