(''Ghost Story of Kasane Swamp''), also known as ''The Depths'', or ''The Ghost of Kasane'', is a 1957 black-and-white/ Scope Japanese horror film directed by Nobuo Nakagawa for Shintoho Films. The screenplay was based on a story called ''Shinkei Kasanegafuchi'' by Encho Sanyutei. The film was never dubbed in English and is only available in subtitled format. It was a short film, running 57 minutes. Daiei Film remade this film twice, once in 1960 (B&W/full screen) as ''Kaidan Kasane-ga-fuchi'', and again in 1970 (Color/Scope) as ''The Masseur's Curse'' (both directed by Kimiyoshi Yasuda). The 1960 version was never shown in the United States, nor was it dubbed in English.
