- A British content creator has shared footage of a figure wandering the halls.
A British urban explorer claims to have captured an image of a ghost lurking in the hallway of an abandoned school in Japan.
Ben, whose social media handle is @places_forgotten, is a content creator with 1.4 million followers on TikTok. He primarily shares videos and photos of abandoned places around the world.
It was while on a work trip in Japan that Ben decided to visit the abandoned building that used to house the school.
While photographing the abandoned school, which still had homework hanging on the walls, bags on desks, and photographs of students, Ben claimed to have captured photographs of a ghost lurking in the hallway.
Chilling footage, shared by the content creator who said he was sure he was the only person there, shows the figure at the end of the hallway.
A British content creator has claimed to have captured a ghost lurking in the hallway of an abandoned school in Japan.
A chilling image shows a figure wandering in the shadows of an empty hallway.
The school still had homework hanging on the walls and bags placed on the desks.
The figure can be seen looking at Ben from the end of a hallway.
“It looks like a student or a teacher, but it’s very, very disturbing,” Ben said.
“There was no one else there and there’s no way I would take a picture of a hallway if someone was walking up it – it would freak me out,” he said, adding that he was “definitely alone in the building.”
‘It’s a very rural area and I called around and checked out the rooms before I started taking pictures.
‘The place is quite creepy because it is completely untouched.
‘It’s just outside the city and everything is frozen in time.
Teachers and students walked out of school and never returned after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake that killed 18,000 people.
The school was abandoned in 2011 and has remained frozen in time. The picture shows school bags placed on desks that have not been touched for more than 10 years.
Abandoned shoes that once belonged to former students of the school.
Pictures of former students and homework remain hanging on the school walls.

‘But it was only after looking back at my photos that I noticed a figure in the hallway.
‘It was like a black and white figure and it looked like a spirit.
‘I felt very strange after seeing it.
‘I haven’t had much experience with the supernatural or spirits.
“But I know that the Japanese believe that spirits stay where they belong.”
Teachers and students left the building empty after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
The devastating event killed more than 18,000 people.
The magnitude 9.0 Tohoku earthquake of March 11, 2011, triggered a 41-meter tsunami that struck the eastern coast of Japan and caused three nuclear reactors to melt down.
Nuclear fuel was melted and released into the environment, and more than 300,000 people were evacuated from their homes.
