More and more mystical stories of ghosts that "haunt" them in the coastal regions of the country can be heard from the Japanese, affected by the tsunami and earthquake in March 2011.
Local residents of areas completely destroyed by the tsunami, everywhere talk about the ghosts that come to them or see them in front of destroyed houses. Taxi drivers even try to bypass these areas, fearing that some phantom will get into the salons of their cars.
Moreover, these ghosts look like the victims were at the time of the disaster.
“There are ghosts without heads, some without legs or arms. Others are dismembered in half. People died in various ways during the disaster and are now in such a limbo. We see them as they were at the time of death. This is a great challenge for us,”said local spellcaster Kans Aizawa.
According to her, dozens of people come to her every day after the disaster. First, they asked for help in finding the bodies of the deceased relatives, and for the last two years they have asked whether the soul of the deceased is resting in peace, and asked to convey various messages to him.
Psychotherapists believe that the phenomenon of ghosts has a psychological cause: fear, apprehension, or horror that causes disaster sites.
There is a shortage of psychiatric clinics in the affected areas. Dr. Keizo Hara Medical Center is the only facility where disaster survivors can apply for free. However, local residents do not want to go to psychiatric clinics, but turn to various fortune-tellers or healers.
“Here everyone is also distrustful of the services of a psychotherapist, and spellcasters, to some extent, have become an alternative for those who want to express their fears and concerns,” said Keizo Hara.
