Photographs taken on the stadium stairs, figures on forest paths, the presence of aircraft-related equipment—Yumenoshima Park, Asamayama Park, and Musashino Forest Park each have rumors set in different locations. We have compared the facilities and locations indicated by the park administrators with the claims of the supernatural occurrences. The ranking indicates the ease of tracing the research materials and does not reflect the strength of the supernatural occurrences or the order in which we recommend visiting each location.
Survey methods and evaluation criteria
This analysis uses secondary publication examples from the National Haunted Map, obtained on October 23, 2026, as well as information from the Tokyo Metropolitan Parks Association and park managers. External publications are not treated as records corroborated by actual sightings. The assessment uses a five-category system: match, partial match, mismatch, new fact, and unmeasurable. The verification score is 100 points, consisting of 30 points for source transparency, 25 points for historical context, 20 points for safety information, 15 points for information freshness, and 10 points for rumor source transparency. It does not represent the probability of observation or the level of danger at the site.
| Rank | point | The main points of the rumor | judgement | Document quality |

1st Place: Musashino Forest Park | Unmeasurable (81 points)
The rumored details
In the secondary publication about Musashino Forest Park, stories are presented of the ghost of a soldier in uniform appearing around the bunkers, which were described as facilities to protect aircraft, and of people feeling the presence of something else. The names of the facilities and the origins of the people mentioned in the publication cannot be treated as official records as they are. We have separated the background facilities from the claims of supernatural occurrences and compared them.
Source of the rumor and date of verification
The source is a secondary listing from the National Haunted Map, which introduces the story by listing the location numbers. However, the names of the people who experienced it, the date and time, and the first sighting record are unknown. The attributes and origins of the individuals are based on the description in the listing and are not records of the individuals themselves.
- Nationwide Haunted Map: Musashino Forest Park(Confirmed on 2026-10-23) — The ghost of a soldier in military uniform appears, and people feel the presence of someone.
Things that could be confirmed from official and primary source materials
The Tokyo Metropolitan Parks Association designates the park's location as an area spanning Asahi-cho in Fuchu City, Nishi-machi in Chofu City, and Osawa in Mitaka City, and lists the bunker in the facilities section. The "Promenade," a pathway connecting the north and south districts, is open from 9:00 to 16:30 according to the information obtained, and is closed outside of these hours. These are separate conditions from the park's opening hours.
- Tokyo Metropolitan Parks Association - Musashino Forest Park(Confirmation date 2026-10-23) — Location
Asahi-cho 3-chome, Fuchu City; Nishi-machi, Chofu City; Osawa 5-chome and 6-chome, Mitaka City
Points of agreement/contradictions
While the official name of the facility, "bunker," can be confirmed, this alone does not confirm the correspondence between the numbered facilities and sighting locations mentioned in the article. Reading about the history of land use does not provide a record of the identity or appearance of the person in military uniform. Even though the park's main address is in Fuchu City, it is inaccurate to describe the entire park as being solely within Fuchu City.
| The rumored atomic claim | Matching results | reason | Corresponding documents |
|---|---|---|---|
| A ghost of a soldier in a military uniform appears. | Unconfirmed | While there are guides to the facilities and history, we do not have independent eyewitness records that allow us to match observation dates with the individuals observed. | No official data available for direct comparison. |
| I sense someone's presence. | Unconfirmed | Without original records to compare observations and environments, it is impossible to correlate the subjective descriptions in the published text with specific causes. | No official data available for direct comparison. |
Alternative interpretation
It's possible that the section explaining the history of the equipment and the discussion about military uniforms and the atmosphere are combined into a single introductory text. However, we haven't verified the process of its creation. Similarly, explanations about the appearance and sound of the equipment cannot be accepted as causes without knowing the observation conditions.
Scope and limitations of the investigation
There is a lack of data to compare equipment numbers with their current locations, observer positions, and times. The representative map shows the park's location and does not indicate the bunkers, promenade entrances, or the boundaries of the area spanning the three cities. The latest traffic conditions also need to be confirmed separately.
Verification result: Unmeasurable
The official guide provides background information, including details about the bunkers and the park's land use, but it does not contain any independent eyewitness accounts to support the claim of soldiers appearing or being present. We did not consider the existence of facilities and historical context to be sufficient evidence to partially explain the strange occurrences, and instead deemed the core claim immeasurable.

| total | 81/100 | 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
According to the official guide, the promenade is open from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM and is closed outside of these hours. Do not confuse this with the park's opening hours; please check the latest information before visiting. Do not enter facilities such as bunkers or areas inside fences without permission.
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.
2nd Place: Asamayama Park | Unmeasurable (74 points)
The rumored details
The listing for Asamayama Park on the nationwide paranormal map includes stories of a girl standing on a forest path and staring at the viewer, and an old woman running very fast. The text also attributes the incidents to a nearby cemetery, but we were unable to confirm any connection between the location and the spirits coming from there. The description of the figure and the explanation of the cause should be read separately.
Source of the rumor and date of verification
I referred to secondary publications compiled on external websites. While it is introduced as a well-known story, the original narrator, the date of observation, and separate eyewitness accounts are unknown. I also did not find any evidence to support the claim that the cemetery mentioned in the text is the source of the supernatural occurrences.
- National Haunted Map - Asamayama Park(Confirmed on 2026-10-23) — It's a well-known story that a young girl was standing on a forest road looking at people, and an old woman came running at an inhuman speed.
Things that could be confirmed from official and primary source materials
The park administrator, "Musashino Metropolitan Parks," describes Asamayama Park as a small hill with three peaks and indicates its location as Asama-cho 4-chome and Wakamatsu-cho 5-chome, Fuchu City. The facility guide also lists Kisuge Bridge, which leads to Tama Cemetery. However, the fact that the locations are connected by a bridge does not indicate the identity of the figure or the cause of the strange occurrences.
- Park Administrator: Asamayama Park(Confirmed on 2026-10-23) — This is a suspension bridge over Asamayama Street, and crossing the bridge leads to Tama Cemetery.
Points of agreement/contradictions
The administrator's instructions indicate that Tama Cemetery is nearby, and that crossing the bridge leads to the cemetery. This location is inconsistent with the causal explanation in the text that spirits gather from the cemetery. The location of the forest path where the girl was and the spot where the running figure was observed cannot be identified, and the existence of nearby facilities cannot be used to determine the identity of the person.
| The rumored atomic claim | Matching results | reason | Corresponding documents |
|---|---|---|---|
| A girl was standing on the forest path, looking at me. | Unconfirmed | There are no original records to correlate the section of the forest road with the date and time of observation, making it impossible to examine the girl's appearance based on the manager's guidance. | No official data available for direct comparison. |
| An old woman came running very fast. | Unconfirmed | Since we did not obtain records of observation distance or time, we cannot compare the impression of speed in the published text with independent sources. | No official data available for direct comparison. |
Alternative interpretation
The story of the girl and the story of the running figure may have been linked by the common setting of a forest road. However, the process by which the stories spread cannot be traced. Explanations such as the impression of the running speed, misidentification, and changes in hearsay cannot be determined without the original records.
Scope and limitations of the investigation
There are no original records that can confirm the observation distance, time, or section of the park path. We obtained information about the terrain and facilities from the administrator, but we did not verify the traffic conditions on the day of use. The representative map does not show the location of the sighting on the forest road or the route of the strange occurrences originating from the cemetery.
Verification result: Unmeasurable
While the nearby cemetery and bridge can be confirmed in the administrator's records, there are no independent records correlating observations of the girl and the running figure. We did not extend the correspondence of the spatial relationships to mean that the origin of the strange phenomenon matched, and we considered the person and their speed to be immeasurable.
Document Quality Score
| Source transparency | 26/30 | This allows you to refer to the administrator's descriptions of terrain and bridges separately from externally published information, enabling you to distinguish between the actual existence of nearby facilities and the cause of the strange occurrences. |
|---|---|---|
| Historical and spatial context | 16/25 | While the history of the hill and park is explained by the administrator, the stories about the human figure and the explanation that the cemetery is the cause have not been substantiated. |

| Newness of information | 11/15 | We saved the administrator's detailed instructions and the text of the rumor on the day of the investigation, but the timing of the observation of the two figures is unknown. |
| Transparency of the source of rumors | 4/10 | While I can trace the source of the story, which is known as a famous tale, I don't know the original source or the individuals who experienced the story of the girl and the old woman. |
| total | 74/100 | 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 stray from the designated paths or enter vegetation or adjacent plots in order to follow any figures. Please check the latest information provided by the administrator regarding usage conditions, and refrain from taking photographs or exploring in a way that links the cemetery or its users to supernatural occurrences.
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: Yumenoshima Park | Unmeasurable (62 points)
The rumored details
External postings about Yumenoshima Park include a story about a girl's ghost appearing in a photograph taken on the main staircase of the stadium, and another about groaning sounds being heard. While the park's history and surrounding events are also included, these explanations haven't been confirmed as the cause of the photograph or sounds. Here, we will compare the stories about the images and the sounds separately.
Source of the rumor and date of verification
The reference source is a secondary publication from the National Haunted Map. We have not obtained information on the person who took the photo, the date and time it was taken, the unprocessed image, or any audio recordings. Even if the text mentions events in the park or surrounding area, this does not mean that we have confirmed independent official records.
- Nationwide Haunted Map - Yumenoshima Park(Confirmed on 2026-10-23) — If you take a picture on the stairs in front of the stadium, the ghost of a girl about 5 years old will appear in the photo.
Things that could be confirmed from official and primary source materials
The Tokyo Metropolitan Parks Association's guide to Yumenoshima Park lists the Amenis Yumenoshima Group as the administrator and provides contact information for a separate official website and management office. The park is located in Yumenoshima 1-chome and 2-chome, Koto-ku, and the park's opening hours and the closing conditions of each facility are listed separately. This guide does not provide original photographs or audio recordings.
- Tokyo Metropolitan Parks Association - Yumenoshima Park(Confirmed on 2026-10-23) — Yumenoshima Park is a park managed by the Amenis Yumenoshima Group.
Points of agreement/contradictions
The rumor refers to a narrow area on the front staircase of the stadium, but the official information obtained does not allow us to verify the location or time the photo was taken. Checking the park's location and contact information does not explain what was captured in the image. The growling sound also cannot be linked to the same phenomenon as the photograph without a recording and observation details.
| The rumored atomic claim | Matching results | reason | Corresponding documents |
|---|---|---|---|
| A girl's ghost appears in the photograph. | Unconfirmed | Since we do not have access to the original photo data or shooting conditions, we cannot compare the reflections mentioned in the text with independent sources. | No official data available for direct comparison. |
| Groaning sounds can be heard. | Unconfirmed | There is no documentation to link the recording, observation location, and time, so the relationship between the voice source and the photograph cannot be confirmed. | No official data available for direct comparison. |
Alternative interpretation
The stories about the photograph and the voice may be linked by the common location of Yumenoshima Park. However, it is unclear whether they were the same experience at the same time. Hypotheses about photographic problems or ambient noise cannot be accepted as causes without comparing them with the original images and recordings.
Scope and limitations of the investigation
There is a lack of documentation to match the stadium's name and the location of the stairs with the current facility guide. We have also not obtained any independent documents regarding events in the area surrounding the park. The map shows a representative location of the facility and does not pinpoint the stairs, filming location, or origin of the sound.
Verification result: Unmeasurable
There are no independent source records to examine for either the image captured in the photograph or the growling sound. While the administrator and location were confirmed, this did not support the explanation for the cause in the posted text, and since no counter-evidence for the identity of the photograph or the source of the sound was obtained, it was deemed impossible to measure.

Safety information and maps
Please do not block staircases or enter closed sports facilities or waterfront areas for photography purposes. Before use, please check the conditions for each facility in the official guide provided by the administrator, and do not treat the park's representative map as permission to enter the sports fields.
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
The guide to acquiring Yumenoshima leads to a different administrator site, and at Asamayama you can see the hill's structure and the bridge leading to Tama Cemetery. At Musashino Forest you can read about the locations of multiple cities and the conditions for using the park paths. These are all materials to understand the background, and are separate from observational records that corroborate photographs, figures of people, or presences in the facilities. The cause of the strange occurrences cannot be determined solely by the location relative to the cemetery or the history of the facilities.
summary
What we were able to confirm this time were the instructions for the administrator, the topography and bridges of Mt. Asama, the names and locations of facilities in Musashino Forest Park, and the access conditions of the promenade at the time of acquisition. We did not obtain any photographs of the stadium, figures of people on the forest road, or documents to substantiate the stories of soldiers. We concluded that we would need original records that can identify the subject and time, rather than trying to fill in the gaps with representative locations on maps or the history of the land, for the next comparison.
FAQ
Is Musashino Forest Park located only in Fuchu City?
The official information we obtained covers areas spanning Fuchu City, Chofu City, and Mitaka City. Please do not determine the entire park area based solely on the representative address on the map.
If the park is open, can I also use the promenade?
According to the information I obtained, the promenade is open from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM and is closed outside of these hours. Please note that this is separate from the park's opening hours and check the latest information from the administrator before using the promenade.
If there are descriptions of bunkers, do some of the soldiers' accounts also match?
No. The background information that the facility exists is separate from the core claim that a person appeared. This judgment cannot be made because there are no records to verify the eyewitness accounts.
