Anime Like Ghost Stories: The Headless Horsemen!! Curse of Death
A headless ghost that hunts by headlights alone, running down anyone unlucky enough to cross its path on one specific night. The gang has to solve what keeps it tethered to the living world before it finds Satsuki. Ghost Stories leans hard into the folklore angle here, treating the curse like a mechanism that needs to be shut down rather than a villain to understand.
SYNOPSIS
A vengeful headless horseman emerges from the darkness on the anniversary of his death, riding through town with one gruesome purpose: to decapitate anyone unlucky enough to cross his path. When his supernatural vehicle locks onto Satsuki, the clock starts ticking. The gang realizes they're not dealing with an ordinary ghost, but something bound by a curse that demands violent repetition. Stopping him requires more than courage, it requires understanding what chains him to this cycle of revenge. They'll need to uncover the truth behind his death, piece together the ritual that might put him to rest, and do it before sunrise ends their window of opportunity. This is horror grounded in Japanese ghost folklore, where the supernatural operates by cruel rules and salvation lies in confronting tragic pasts. Tension builds steadily as our heroes race against time, armed only with their wits and determination to save one of their own from a fate worse than death.
