The Japanese government has issued an official statement, denying
that the prime minister’s (Shinzo Abe) house is haunted. Helping to fuel
the ghost rumors, is the fact that Abe is yet to move into the
dwelling, although it has been over five months since he assumed power.
In a letter of inquiry, Ken Kagaya of the rival Democratic Party
asked if “ghosts” are the reason Abe has still not moved into his
residence. The Cabinet issued a quick response saying that it was not
aware of any such rumors.
The house was built in 1929 and has a tragic history, making it
perfect for an allegedly haunted house. A former prime minister was
assassinated there in 1932 and a few years later, several officials were
killed in an attempted military coup known in Japan as the February
26th Incident.
The residence has long been plagued with rumors of paranormal
activity and this official statement from the government, probably only
serves to keep the rumors going.
