Government Spooks

Japan's Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, was elected last December and despite taking power he has, as yet, failed to move into his official residence, a move akin to the British Prime Minister refusing to move into 10 Downing Street. Why? Well officially it as nothing to do with ghosts. No sirree.

Officials in the Japanese government are currently denying that the Prime Minister is refusing to move because the place is haunted.

Whilst there have been tales of strange goings on in the house, which was subject to two notorious massacres in the 1930s, they are certainly not keeping the Prime Minister out. Honest!

Mind you, given that my experience of Japanese ghosts comes primarily from Ju On - The Grudge and Project Zero/Fatal Frame...

Odds are you'd have a hard time getting me in there either.

Still, there's some good story potential in here, so I'm going to look into this a little more.
