[2026 Latest] Top 3 Ranking of Ghostly Rumors in Shinozaki, Toneri, and Shiba Park

There are theories that it was once an execution ground, stories that visitors become possessed, and the sight of human figures in photographs and the sound of footsteps in empty spaces. In the examples of Shinozaki Park, Toneri Park, and Shiba Park, the descriptions of the land and the supernatural occurrences are intertwined.

We compared the rumored information with the administrator's guidance, separating the park area from the adjacent facilities. The ranking is based on the scope of source verification and does not represent a ranking of the actual danger levels at the site.

Survey methods and evaluation criteria

I saved and compared three pages from the National Haunted Map and the facility guides from the Park Association on October 23, 2026. I separated the origins, phenomena, and causes speculated in the rumors and judged them as matching, partially matching, inconsistent, new facts, or immeasurable.

The scoring breakdown is as follows: source transparency 30 points, historical context 25 points, safety information 20 points, information freshness 15 points, and source transparency of rumors 10 points. The existence of a facility or the recency of the information provided are not added as evidence to support the supernatural occurrences.

1st Place: Shinozaki Park | Unmeasurable (62 points)

The rumored details

The listing for Shinozaki Park includes theories about its origins, such as that it was once an execution ground or a crematorium where bodies were burned. Furthermore, there are descriptions of a boy's ghost appearing there, and accounts linking these events to incidents that have occurred within the park.

The records of those who recount the origins and the original records of the phenomena are not presented, so the old explanation of the land and the current manifestation of spirits cannot be treated as a single fact.

Source of the rumor and date of verification

The text from the nationwide paranormal map referenced is a secondary publication that includes hearsay, supposedly known by local elderly people. It is not possible to identify whose testimony it is, what time period it refers to, or the location, nor is its original publication date known. Expressions regarding the frequency of events are not included as part of the compiled statistics.

• Nationwide Haunted Map - Shinozaki Park(Confirmed on 2026-10-23) — Shinozaki Park has a long history of being a haunted park, with rumors circulating that it was once an execution ground or a crematorium for burning bodies.

Things that could be confirmed from official and primary source materials

The park association's guide to Shinozaki Park indicates its location across multiple neighborhoods in Edogawa Ward and divides transportation information into Area A and Area B. It also includes contact information and directions to various facilities.

The information obtained indicates that access varies depending on the section, but it does not provide evidence to support the theory that there were once execution grounds or crematoriums in the area, or the dates associated with them.

Points of agreement/contradictions

Removing the distinction between Area A and Area B in the park guide makes it easy to mistakenly believe that the rumored location is near the representative spot. Regarding the origin theory, there are no records of corresponding plots, land numbers, or dates, so it is impossible to confirm or deny it based on the official guide.

The claim of the boy's spirit is a separate assertion from the evidence used to verify the origin of the land.

The rumored atomic claim	Matching results	reason	Corresponding documents
There used to be an execution ground here.	Unconfirmed	We do not have the cadastral data or historical materials to identify the date and the specific area in question, so we cannot verify this information in the facility's transportation guide.	No official data available for direct comparison.
The ghost of a boy appears	Unconfirmed	There are no original records of the observation date and time or eyewitness accounts corresponding to the display, and it cannot be verified independently of the land's history.	No official data available for direct comparison.

Alternative interpretation

It's possible that stories from different sections and eras are intertwined under the name of a large park. However, we haven't been able to determine whether such confusion actually gave rise to this theory. The mere presence of words like "execution ground" and "crematorium" should be avoided in determining the origin of the spirits.

Scope and limitations of the investigation

We have not obtained cadastral maps, historical documents showing land changes, or original records of interviews. Because we cannot identify the specific area or time period referred to by the rumors, we have not determined the existence of past facilities using only the administrator's traffic information, and the map is limited to a representative location of the entire park.

Verification result: Unmeasurable

The origins of the land as an execution ground and crematorium, as well as the indication of the boy's ghost, could not be verified with independent sources. While the usage guidelines for each section can be used as background information, they do not support or refute the origins or the strange occurrences, so they were deemed unmeasurable.

Safety information and maps

Please distinguish between Area A and Area B and move within the scope of normal park use. Avoid digging in search of the rumored facility ruins, entering planted areas, and approaching sports facilities or lighting equipment, and follow local regulations.

2nd place: Shiba Park | Unmeasurable (60 points)

The rumored details

Examples of stories about Shiba Park include a photograph with Tokyo Tower in the background showing multiple figures, and a story about the sound of high heels being heard even though no one is there. There are also stories of strange occurrences at the observation deck, and the text itself is ambiguous as to whether it is about the park or the tower.

The location where the photograph was taken, the sounds on the park path, and the conversations inside the building may not all be phenomena occurring at the same place.

Source of the rumor and date of verification

The original photographs and recordings were not obtained for this publication, despite the inclusion of multiple stories in the nationwide paranormal map. The photographer, observer, and time of publication could not be identified, and the initial publication date remains unknown. The author's uncertainty regarding whether the incident occurred in the tower or the park has not been resolved through investigation and has not been rewritten.

• National Haunted Map - Shiba Park(Confirmed on 2026-10-23) — When you take a picture with Tokyo Tower in the background, many human figures appear in the photo. Even though there is no one there, you can hear the clicking sound of high heels.

Things that could be confirmed from official and primary source materials

The Shiba Park guide from the park association lists the location as Shiba Park 1, 2, 3, and 4-chome, Minato-ku, and includes information on the service center and transportation. There is also a link to a list of facilities, but it does not contain any information investigating the strange occurrences at the Tokyo Tower observation deck.

The place name "Shiba Park" in an address and the facilities of the metropolitan park may be written the same way, but they do not necessarily refer to the same area.

  Shiba Park 1, 2, 3, and 4-chome, Minato Ward

  Open at all times
  *Service centers and all facilities will be closed during the New Year's holiday period.

Points of agreement/contradictions

Even after confirming the park's representative location, the exact location where the photo was taken and the observation deck remain unclear. To identify human figures, the original photo and shooting conditions are needed, and to identify footsteps, recordings and surrounding conditions are required, but these records were not obtained.

The story of the photograph with the tower in the background and the story of what happened inside the building are separated, and the comparison is made without acknowledging the supernatural occurrences based on the matching locations.

The rumored atomic claim	Matching results	reason	Corresponding documents
Multiple figures are visible in the photograph.	Unconfirmed	Without the original photograph and the conditions under which it was taken, it is impossible to independently verify the presence or absence of a person in the image or their identity.	No official data available for direct comparison.
I can hear the sound of high heels even though no one is around.	Unconfirmed	There are no records indicating the recording date and time, the direction of the sound, or the surrounding usage conditions, making it impossible to compare sound sources.	No official data available for direct comparison.

Alternative interpretation

When comparing shadows and sounds, factors such as surrounding users, shooting conditions, and the direction from which the sound was heard should also be considered. However, since the original document is not available, it cannot be definitively determined that it was reflection or the sound of passersby. The possibility that information about the park and an adjacent facility may have been mixed up remains unverified.

Scope and limitations of the investigation

We have not obtained any materials that identify the original image, recording, shooting location, or observation deck. We have not investigated the entire boundaries of the park and surrounding facilities, and our verification is limited to confirming that the representative location with the facility name on the map is not being interpreted as the sighting location inside the building or an adjacent park section.

Verification result: Unmeasurable

Regarding the figures in the photograph and the sounds of footsteps, there is no original data, and regarding the observation deck, the observation location cannot be considered as being integrated with the park. Since the correspondence between place names and facility names is not used as evidence, and there is insufficient data to compare the phenomena and their causes, measurement was deemed impossible.

Document Quality Score

Source transparency	24/30	The park information and rumors, including those about the tower, are included, and the differences between place names and facilities are clearly distinguished.
Historical and spatial context	7/25	While there is a heading indicating the park's origin, there is no documentation to verify the process by which rumors of people and sounds were formed.
Safety information	15/20	You can refer to the transportation information for using the facility, but we have not confirmed the entry requirements for adjacent facilities or the observation deck.
Newness of information	10/15	The date the saved text was reviewed is clear, but the exact time when the photos and footsteps were recorded cannot be determined.
Transparency of the source of rumors	4/10	The text contains uncertainties regarding locations, and the origins of each story and images are also unknown.
total	60/100	This is the overall quality of the materials. It does not represent the degree of truthfulness or danger associated with the supernatural phenomena.

Safety information and maps

Please conduct photography within the scope of normal park use and refrain from following and photographing other users without their permission. Inside the tower, please follow the facility's guidelines and do not use park maps or opening hours information as a means of obtaining permission to enter the building.

Map location: This is a representative location of the facility. It does not show all sections of the park, the rumored locations, entrances, site boundaries, or access restrictions.

3rd Place: Toneri Park | Unmeasurable (60 points)

The rumored details

In the example of Toneri Park, after describing the history leading up to its creation as a park, it goes on to explain that several incidents occurred there. Regarding the paranormal stories, it states that people with psychic abilities who visit the park become possessed, and that the ghost of a young boy appears.

The mere presence of history, events, and ghost stories on the same page does not necessarily demonstrate a causal relationship between them.

Source of the rumor and date of verification

I referred to secondary explanations compiled in the National Paranormal Map. The original records corresponding to the claims of possession, the date of observation, and the depiction of the boy's spirit are unknown. Evaluative descriptions of people in the vicinity have not been verified as independent facts and are therefore not used as the basis for the text.

• National Haunted Map - Toneri Park(Confirmed on 2026-10-23) — Paranormal phenomena. Those with psychic abilities who visit will be possessed by spirits. Note: It is best not to go as local biker gangs and other groups hang out around the park.

Things that could be confirmed from official and primary source materials

The park association's guide lists the park's location as Toneri Park, Nishi-Ikomachi, Adachi Ward, and other areas, and includes information on facilities, transportation, and contact details. It also includes information for those using Toneri Park Station on the Nippori-Toneri Liner.

This page contains information for park use and is not a record of past incidents or investigations into what happened to visitors physically or mentally.

Points of agreement/contradictions

Even if the facility can be identified using the official park guide, it's impossible to connect the incidents and possession stories listed as examples. Furthermore, the condition of "someone with psychic abilities" is unclear, as it's unknown what observations or records were used to determine this.

We distinguished between supporting the existence of the park and its accessibility from the station, and supporting the influence of spirits.

The rumored atomic claim	Matching results	reason	Corresponding documents
People with psychic abilities who visit will become possessed.	Unconfirmed	Without original records of the conditions, the date and time of the visit, and the conditions before and after, it is impossible to compare causal relationships or reproducibility.	No official data available for direct comparison.
The ghost of a boy appears	Unconfirmed	There is no independently verifiable sighting date or observation data, and the park's location cannot be used as evidence of a ghost.	No official data available for direct comparison.

Alternative interpretation

The history of the land and the descriptions of events may influence the interpretation of what was felt there. However, this page cannot track the experiences and progress of individual visitors, nor can it determine the cause of the state referred to as possession. We also do not attribute the cause to the attributes of the people in the area.

Scope and limitations of the investigation

We do not have records of the date and time of the incident, the initial news reports, or any observations of the state in which possession is alleged. We also cannot pinpoint the exact location within the large park where the incident occurred, nor have we verified the history of the published text or investigated the local security situation.

Verification result: Unmeasurable

There are no verifiable original records regarding the connection between the visit and the possession, or the manifestation of the boy's spirit. The official facility guide neither supports nor refutes these claims, and the causal relationship with history or incidents is unclear, so the claims of paranormal activity are deemed immeasurable.

Document Quality Score

Source transparency	23/30	Official facility and transportation information is available, but there is no documentation connecting the multiple incidents and supernatural occurrences.
Historical and spatial context	8/25	While there are articles describing the history of the park, we have not obtained any historical materials to verify the changes in the land over time.
Safety information	16/20	While we can track information regarding normal park usage, we cannot guarantee safety based on factors such as whether or not you are sensitive to spirits or your physical condition.
Newness of information	10/15	I was able to read the saved user guide, but I did not confirm the timing of the incident or experience, or the circumstances on that day.
Transparency of the source of rumors	3/10	We have not been able to identify the original records corresponding to the descriptions of possession and the boy, nor the source of their initial publication.
total	60/100	This is the overall quality of the materials. It does not represent the degree of truthfulness or danger associated with the supernatural phenomena.

Safety information and maps

Please do not stay in the park for the purpose of attempting possession, or follow other visitors as targets of spiritual sightings. Use the park facilities as instructed by the park administrators, and if you experience any unusual physical symptoms, stop exploring and seek necessary assistance.

Map location: This is a representative location of the facility. It does not show all sections of the park, the rumored locations, entrances, site boundaries, or access restrictions.

What I learned by crossing locations

In Shinozaki, parks in different sections are read as if they were one place; in Toneri, the story shifts from historical and incidental descriptions to a tale of possession; and in Shiba, the park and Tokyo Tower are intertwined. In all cases, the park names alone do not allow for a clear identification of the subject of the argument.

In particular, the observation deck inside the building and the park's pathways are not the same observation point. Separating the task of matching addresses from the task of verifying what happened where reveals the limitations of what can be gleaned from the published text.

summary

The official guide provides information on the park's location, transportation to each section, and contact details for use. However, we have not obtained any independent records that can be used to verify the claims of it being an execution site, possession, or the presence of shadows or footsteps.

Even if photos or audio are presented in the future, the next step in the verification process will be to first check the location where they were taken and the original data, and not automatically link them to the park name or nearby incidents.

FAQ

Is the story about the photos of Shiba Park related to the inside of Tokyo Tower?

The referenced article contains both a description of photos taken from the park and a description of the observation deck. The shooting and observation locations could not be confirmed to be the same, and the interior of the tower has not been replaced with the park.

If there are no supernatural occurrences mentioned in the facility's guide, is that a mismatch?

No. The user guide is not a document intended to investigate the presence or absence of supernatural phenomena. The mere absence of information does not constitute refutation, and in this case, the judgment is that the core claim cannot be verified.

Have you also checked the latest regulations for the three parks?

The information reviewed here is based on the saved information provided. We have not confirmed the actual restrictions, congestion, or safety conditions for each section on the day of use. Please prioritize the latest information from the administrator and on-site signage when using the facilities.
