Spooky Tour

I almost forgot...we went on the spooky ghost tour last weekend put on by MCCS (Marine Corps Community Services) here on the island. We all loaded up on a bus and traveled around parts of the island going to different places that are haunted and hearing many interesting stories. My 'favorite' would be the house on Kadena (the base 20 mins from us) that has a house where there have been 3 murder-suicides in it. I drive by the house quite frequently and had no idea. No fear though...they aren't moving anyone into the house....at least not anytime soon!
Why is the house still standing you ask?? Well, in Japanese/Okinawan culture spirits inhabit these types of places. And, if you take their 'residence' away they jump to the next thing...whether it be another structure or even the person who is tearing the house down. Freaky huh??
And before there's too much judgement, yes, we took Irina with us. She had no real idea of what was going on and thought we were just driving around on a bus with all of her friends. Two other neighbors and their kids came along.
