7/10.

The stories that I liked:

The Lonely Girl

The Black Hair at the Abandoned Building

The Gymnasium in Summer: The scene where Chimako was alone and they showed a ghost standing there and then it was walking towards her was very creepy. It reminded me of the ghost scene in the movie Kairo.

House of Restless Spirits: The scene where Yoko's parents and the Spiritualist where paraying. There is a very creepy face on the right side of the background.

Be Gone Crone: When the little girl opened the curtains and the face appeared was very creepy.

For me the scariest ones were "Mystery of the Red Earring", "The Gymnasium in Summer", and "The Black Hair in the Abandoned Building". I loved "House of Restless Spirits" too. I didn't notice the face you were talking about, i'll have to watch it again.

"Be Gone, Crone!" was really creepy but I didn't find it believable. And I didn't find "Paralysis" scary at all because I knew the medical explanation for it. It's basically when your brain starts to wake up but your body doesn't wake up as fast, and because you're still in a half-asleep state and the waking half of you is scared and paranoid because you can't move, you experience terrifying hallucinations. It's like a half-awake nightmare. Very scary for someone experiencing it who doesn't know the medical explanation, but not so much for someone who understands what's going on.

All in all it's a great little series, really creepy short films.

As a side note, the priest in "Mystery of the Red Earring" was almost as creepy as the ghost, lol. 
