Imagine you are a taxi driver in Ishinomaki, Japan. You pick up a young passenger, and ask her out. She said she goes to the district Minamiyama, which is strange because no one ever goes in the district of Minamiyama & mdash; not since the tsunami, anyway.

Kudo found that most of the taxi drivers wanted to talk about these ghost passengers after being asked if they had noticed anything strange since the tsunami. It makes you wonder how many others have experienced this phenomenon, but are too afraid to come forward.
