Hell on Earth
This is the third post in my Halloween mini-series. (This was taken at The Shivering Labyrinth at Fuji Q Highland).
Japan has an extensive list of disturbing urban legends and haunted spots. And the area around Fuji is no exception. I ain't no urban explorer so I'm not headed in there, especially since people are still reported missing around here about a century after Jikyu Hospital's official closure.
The perimeter of this place is massive. It's a 3 story labyrinth of decaying architecture. The owners insist on leaving the gate open for whatever reason, and kept babblin' on about something called Meido. Meido apparently is basically the doorstep of hell. Even as a religious man, I'm going to say he's right cause something is so unnerving about this spot that no light could ever penetrate it. Of all the stories I've heard, the most believable is the one with shown evidence: The staff started organ trafficking their patients, as well as other unethical practices and eventually got caught. But as said earlier, people are still going missing, and locals still report hearing or seeing things in and around this area, some talking about the patients becoming yureis (vengeful spirits), and some more recent hospital records reporting mental instabilities manifesting around this area.
There are two reasons why I didn't enter the place. 1. There's a strict no camera rule from the groundskeeper, wasn't about to protest that. and 2. It's an additional entrance fee, the only reason I was in the area was because I could be here for free. And that's totally all the reasons why, I've been to haunts in the US and am used to monsters jumping in my face. But compared to the "up close and personal" experiences I've done before, this was described as a slower burn, more psychological (maybe because it's an institution). So I took the shot outside the property as the last hint of light was diminishing. Odd, that grain shouldn't have been there, makes the image more heavy then it probably deserved to be.
There have been rumors that tours will be available soon which I seriously hope does NOT pass. Whatever, or whoever, is being held here, it's not human, at least not anymore. The groundskeeper says all the bodies were recovered so the hauntings have stopped, but I could see the fear in his eyes, it's the same one I saw myself, this place is as far from God as it possibly could be, and the residents here have known nothing but pain and hatred, eager to bring it out on any living soul stupid enough to approach this hell on earth.
