The story of laughing Gorosuke

"Fooh, Fooh, Fooh, Fooh,"
I hear a laugh from somewhere.
"Fooh, Fooh, Fooh, Fooh,"
I hear a strange laughter again. Especially in windy nights, they hear as if they were singing in the distance or laughing nearby.
When I returned from school, I decided to look into the true nature of the laughter. Apparently, you can hear it from the Hino Park Cemetery.
As I entered the cemetery more and more, the area suddenly became darker. The leaves of large trees overlap and make the sky invisible.
Then he made a sound from the branches of the shii tree, and the black one moved to the next branch. And when he looked at his breath, the black one moved the branches again.
I was somewhat frightened and ran away at a glance. "What should I do if that black thing chases and falls on me?" he said, and his feet are tangled. And he finally came home, sir.
I can't sleep well even in the futon that night. I'm always thinking about "the black thing." Then I felt as if I had heard the sound of babbling, and involuntarily put on my futon.
"Oh, I'll go to the exploration again tomorrow and find out what the black thing is."
I decided so.
The next day, when I went to the graveyard casually, people who have lived nearby have been standing and talking for a long time. So I asked who the laughter of "Fooh, Fooh, Fooh, Fooh" was.
"That's Gorosuke's laughing, the owl's cry."
He told me.
I was at last relieved. I wanted to see Gorosuke once.
On the way home from school, when I walked near the cemetery with my friends, I heard a laughter saying "Foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo."
I'm so shy
"That's Gorosuke laughing," he told everyone.
