I investigated three locations in southern Kyushu that are featured as settings for ghost stories: rumor pages, official or facility websites, and locations where I could directly verify coordinates. I compared not only the presence or absence of paranormal activity, but also specific claims regarding construction date, official name, structure, cultural property designation, and use as a road. The rankings and...

This article focuses on three haunted locations near waterfronts in southern Kanto, where we were able to verify the existence of separate rumor pages, publicly available documents from local governments or facility managers, and coordinates. Instead of treating rumors as fact, we break down the locations into their established dates, uses, legends, and specific events, considering each claim as a separate unit...

This study compared three locations in southern Kyushu and Okinawa that are known as haunted spots, based on information directly obtained from external rumor pages, publicly available documents from local governments or administrators, and publicly available geographical data on the same day. This is not a ranking that definitively determines the presence or absence of paranormal activity, but rather considers factors such as the history, cultural property designation, archaeological excavations, and eyewitness accounts included in the rumors...

From the candidates in Southern Kyushu and Okinawa, we investigated three locations where we could individually verify external rumor-posting pages, facility managers or public databases, and location coordinates. Beyond just the presence or absence of supernatural occurrences, we also categorized the claims regarding the castle's construction date, cultural property designation, war memories, and the facility's role, and compared those with official records...

In the strange occurrences associated with historical sites in southern Kanto, there are instances where actual ruins and legends are intertwined with undocumented anecdotes within the same narrative. This article examines specific claims made on external rumors-sharing websites regarding Yoshimi Hyakketsu, Sakura Castle Ruins Park, and Kangunzuka, comparing them with those made by local governments and regional public tourism organizations...

From the candidates in Southern Kanto, we will focus on three locations where we have directly obtained rumor pages, publicly available documents from local governments and police, and coordinates: Sakura Castle Ruins Park, Hotel Katsugyo (Yui Grand Hotel), and Shirahata Shrine (commonly known as Daruma Shrine). We will categorize the legends, incidents, building conditions, and strange occurrences contained in the rumors into individual claims...

From the tunnel candidates in southern Kanto, we will examine the former Fukiage Tunnel, Hata Tunnel, and former Komine Tunnel, whose coordinates could be individually verified through external rumor pages, publicly available documents from local governments and prefectures. We will not only cover accounts of strange occurrences, but also specific claims regarding their construction dates, structure, intended use as roads, and any connection to incidents...

This analysis focuses on three locations in the Sanyo region surrounding lakes and dams, where rumors circulating there allowed for direct verification of both separate rumor pages and official/administrative documents. Beyond mere eyewitness accounts of paranormal activity, specific claims such as completion dates, facility uses, and building locations were also analyzed to distinguish what information was supported and what could not be confirmed...

From the paranormal rumors surrounding the forests and mountain passes of Shikoku, we selected three locations where we could directly verify information through separate rumor pages and publicly available documents from local governments and archives. Instead of judging the veracity of the supernatural occurrences based on atmosphere alone, we separated each rumor into specific claims such as altitude, nature park designation, road construction, and facility development, and verified them with official records...

For three locations in Shikoku associated with buildings and old structures, we compared records from external rumor-sharing websites with those from local government and public databases, comparing them on a claim-by-claim basis. We distinguished between the facts of the rumors and the actual existence of supernatural occurrences, comparing information such as the year of establishment, geography, the age of the buildings, and the origin of the legends, to the extent possible using available data...
