The 6 most haunted places in Japan

Do you believe in ghosts?
Some say yes, some say no. And I don’t intend to force you to believe in them.

But it is true that there are many locations where many people reported that he/she witnessed ghosts.
And many of these places have “stories” back in the history.
maybe ex prison, ex graveyard, ex battle field and so on.

These places are called “心霊スポット” in Japanese, which means “ghost spot”.
In short, young people call them “心スポ”.

Some of them maybe just fakes or rumors.
But, from my point of view, it seems that some of them are really horrible.

Young people such as high school students or university students often visit there for fun.
Many of these adventures end up with “Nothing happened”
But some people report that it was really scary or something really happened.

I wannaⅠ try 心霊スポット...Actually I feel so scary though...

I really wanna visit 心スポ~~

But actually, in many cases, it is illegal to step into 心霊スポット because these are likely somebody’s properties. You might be punished as trespassing.
So if you intend to go to 心霊スポット, you have to make sure if it is really okay to visit not.

This place is just a barren wasteland now.
But this place used to be a big coal mine long time ago. But, at the same time, there were bad rumor that the owner of Yubetsu coal mine brought many young people as a compensation for their debt and force them to overwork. And moreover they packed many labors in a small room far going over room’s capacity.
And labors died one by one.
It is said their grudge still stays there.
