The
press
has
released
some
time ago
that the
Japanese
Prime-Minister,
to
escape
from the
ghosts
of his
previous
house,
decided
to move.
Rumours
have it
that the
mansion
in which
he
resided
was
famous
for the
strange
phenomena
that had
already
happened
before.
Two
years
before,
the
former
owner of
the
house,
ex-Prime-Minister
Yoshiro
Mori,
declared
that he
would
hear
unusual
sounds
at night
and
doors
and
windows
would
open
even if
there
was
anyone
else
there.
The fear
of the
spirits
from the
other
side,
especially
the ones
who died
violently,
is a
common
trace to
the most
diverse
cultures.
As for
Japan,
the fear
of the
dead
comes
from a
long way
before
and
still
persists,
in spite
of the
technological
development
experencied
by the
country
over the
last
fifty
years.
There,
the
exorcism
is today
a
billionaire
industry
and
another
one is
in the
making,
that is
the
tourism
exploration
of the
phenomenum.
Who
desires
to see
ghosts,
explain
the
Japanese,
the best
year is
August,
when it
is
believed
that the
souls of
the
ancestors
come
back to
Earth to
pay
their
annual
visit.
According
to an
extensive
number
of
Spiritist
researchers,
haunted
houses
do not
exist,
but
there is
no real
reason
to dread
the
appearence
of
ghosts,
who are
nothing
but the
souls of
people
like us,
released
from
their
physical
body,
and went
back to
spirituality.
If we
want to
help, as
long as
the
person
feels
annoyed,
we can
do it
with
prayers
and
uplifting
thoughts.
Many
manifestations
of
physcial
effects
are the
sign
that the
causer
of the
phenomenum
wants to
call our
attention
to
something,
which is
easy to
clarify
in a
well-organized
Spiritist
meeting,
with
well-prepared
mediums.
As for
Japan,
where
the idea
of
reincarnation
is
widely
accepted
and the
worship
of the
ancestors
plays a
large
role in
their
religions,
is a bit
strange
to see
this
fear of
the
spirits,
especially
by those
who have
a
reputation,
such as
the
Prime-minister,
the
highest
administrative
rank in
the
country.
It is
said
that the
Japanese
believe
in life
after
death.
It may
be
possible,
but it
looks
like
there is
something
missing
and the
acknowledgement
of
Spiritism
and the
books by
Kardec
would do
no harm
either.
