Okinawa Kwaidan, True Japanese Ghost Stories and Hauntings
"....Chilling...", Okinawa Times
"...I loved the photographs...", Nago Hearld
"...I couldn't put the book down." Naha Journal.
Ron Dutcher has masterfully collected thirteen true, chilling tales set in real places with real people. The stories vary in time, dating back to the 16th century to the present day, but each story has a way of getting under your skin. You will be thinking about these stories long after you have put the book down.
Most of the stories are set in Okinawa, Japan's southern tropical islands, where the bloodiest battles of World War II were fought. As you might imagine, several stories focus on the war, the soldiers who fought and the civilians who endured.
Some of the stories included are:
The Grim Reaper
The truth behind the train responsible for the most suicides in Japan.
The Nago Nightwalker
Something dark is lurking along highway 505.
Haunting at Bise.
What did Company H of the 6th Marines find on their recon mission in 1945?
The Wreck of the Indian Oak
What really came ashore during that 1840 Typhoon?
And nine more chilling stories.
"A very good read." Anne Poe Lehr, late cousin of Edgar Allen Poe
