Case #01 - The Ghost Passengers of Ishinomaki

In the months following the devastating 2011 tsunami in Ishinomaki, Japan, several taxi drivers reported picking up passengers who mysteriously vanished during the ride. Many of these passengers asked to be taken to neighborhoods that had been completely destroyed by the disaster.

Based on Yuka Kudo’s 2016 thesis interviews, Asahi Shimbun reporting, Richard Lloyd Parry’s Ghosts of the Tsunami, and Netflix Unsolved Mysteries “Tsunami Spirits” episode.
