Posted on ladbible, the Japan’s Sessho-seki rock was found split in half on 5 March and - if the legends are true - it likely means a 1,000-year-old female demon is now on the loose. In Japanese mythology Sessho-seki is also known as the Killing Stone, because it's believed to be so powerful that anyone who comes into contact with it dies.   According to legend, the stone is actually the transformed dead body of a beautiful woman who was found to be a nine-tailed fox and was plotting to kill Emperor Konoe and claim the throne.   The woman/fox demon was slayed by a warrior and the corpse became the Sessho-seki.

But not everyone was concerned, with another Twitter user commenting: “tbh this version of end times sounds more interesting than the bulls**t we’ve actually been going through lately.” Yeah, fair point.  Another agreed: “You know what? I, for one, welcome our new fluffy tailed doom.”  Another eager doom-monger wrote: “Man, imagine of all mythologies and religion Japan was right all along. I'm unironically all for this and want to see where this goes cause I am tired of mundane life and want magical/supernatural stuff to happen.” Bring it on, I say.  Read more about this here.
