  1. As has been said before, your voice is perfect for this type of story. I had never heard of Inunaki village before. . .I do have another ghost story from Okinawa.

    I have heard it several ways from involving a truck driver to a cab driver to many others.. It happened along Old Highway 1 on the way to Nago., a Nao cab driver was headed home late at night when he noticed a high school girl walking along the road outside of Yomitan. He stopped and asked her where she was going and she seemed a little confused, but told him she was trying to get home to Nago. Since he was headed that way he offered to take her.

    She was a quiet on the way there, mostly looking out the window. the driver thought she looked sad and he asked her what was wrong, but she just continued to look out the window. As he got near to the city limits he turned to ask her where she lived. . .but she was gone!

    The driver now confused by her disappearance continued on to the cab company. He mentioned his strange passenger and most of the other drivers laughed it off and wondered if he had had too much sake on the way home. He was about to write it off as being a figment of his imagination when two drivers pulled him aside, and whispered it had happened to them, too, at different times. Then one brought out an old newspaper clipping with a picture on it and asked the driver if that was the girl he saw. He was shocked when he saw the picture and looked at the date, it was from the 1950's and talked about a school girl who had been killed along that stretch of the road by a drunk driver. . .

  2. I find Inunaki interesting as well. I've seen on YouTube ghost hunters/story tellers actually go explore the tunnel. I tried to link it to Jake's but it got flagged.
    Congratulations by the way! Your subscribers have gone up!

  4. I think it’s totally possible for the village to have existed.
    There is stranger things to have happened like Centralia Pennsylvania and how it’s cole mine fire has been going since 1962. It’s the town Silent Hill was based on. It also seems very likely the structures of the village weren’t removed before the dam was built. There are many cases all around the world of flooded towns that were evacuated then submerged behind the rising waters of a dam.

    The woman’s skeleton washing up could very well be an unmarked grave from the village that became unearthed or maybe some person that drowned and wasn’t found immediately. That the village is submerged, I think is the most likely possibility.
    Have you looked into stories surrounding how the dam was built? It looks like construction started in 1970 and the dam opened in 1994. 24 years seems like a long time for a dam to be built. Finding articles on the building of the dam and if any abandoned structures were flooded would probably be much easier than finding concrete evidence of the village it’s self.

    The three gorges dam in China actually flooded some towns that were over 1,000 years old and had some good documentation of the villages last moments above water.

  5. Not into ghost stories tonight but I wanted to recommend one of my favorite Japanese memories to everyone/anyone. If you are ever in the Tokyo area and want a great experience, I highly recommend taking the railroad route surrounding Tokyo called the Yamanote Line. Get off at every stop if you can and experience that particular area. It is so cool and so much fun. There is even a very good book that was written about taking this adventure (sorry, I can't remember details but it is specifically about enjoying the Yamanote rail experience). One of the things I love about Tokyo is that you can be at a major, busy place like Roppongi or Hiroo or many others, and if you walk one block inside that major area, you will find a quiet, peaceful neighborhood or semi-village that is so interesting. And great lamen places, with my particular favorite, niku-nasu lamen (eggplant). Some of our fondest memories come from our stays at the New Sanno Hotel in Hiroo. What a great starting point for adventures! Oh well, good luck Tokyo Olympics. I may be wrong, but I just don't see it happening at this time. Take care my friends.

  6. I watched Kit, Jakeallegedly and this and it so interesting. And yes it must be based on some grain of truth. Congrats on over 1000 subscribers, Matt!

  7. Sorry, I did it again. My comments about taking the Yamanote Line for a fantastic Tokyo experience (I did it in the 1990's) are still true but I forgot that with YouTube and all, people already know about this. Sorry to waste your time. I imagine it is probably quite an experience still these days, though it might be different with the pandemic considerations and other changes from my experience long ago. I still recommend it and would do it again myself. If we ever get to travel again and celebrate life together as humans, I have quite a few places on my bucket list. Take care my friends.

  8. But… But the thumbnail is of Shirakawa-Go.. Why did you use that for the thumbnail?
