Pages: 224
Format: 190 x 127mm Paperback
The
decrepit building was condemned long ago, but every time the owners try
to tear it down, 'accidents' start to happen – people get hurt,
sometimes even killed. Mai Taniyama and her classmates have heard the
rumours that the creepy old high school is haunted – possibly by ghosts
from the Second World War. So one rainy day they gather at the old
school to tell ghost stories, hoping to attract one of the suspected
spirits.
No ghosts materialise, but Mai and her friends do meet Kazuya Shibuya,
the handsome young owner of Shibuya Psychic Research, who’s been hired
to investigate paranormal activity at the school. Also at the scene are
an exorcist, a Buddhist monk, a woman who can speak with the dead, and
an outspoken Shinto priestess. Surely one of them will have the talents
to solve this mystery. . .
