Japanese horror stories, audio and transcript

YouTube is full of channels where Japanese narrators read horror stories aloud.
These kinds of resources could be very useful in order to improve your listening comprehension of the Japanese language, but I think it's even more useful if you have a transcript at hand.
If you are a student of Japanese you know how effective it is to have audio with a corresponding text for study purposes.

I find transcripts by reverse-searching chunks of text starting from the audio narration.
I listen to a small chunk of audio and I transcribe it, to search it later on Google.
This way I'm able to find the corresponding full story in the written form.

This is a collection of Japanese horror stories.
To find the corresponding audio search the folder's name on YouTube.
