You see the figure looking up at Ben from the end of a hallway.
“It looks like a student or a teacher, but it’s just really, really creepy,” Ben said.
“There was no one else there and I would never take a picture of a hallway if someone came through it. I would totally freak out,” he said, adding that he was “absolutely alone in the building.”
‘It’s a very rural area and I visited and checked rooms before I started taking pictures.
‘It’s quite a creepy place because it’s still completely untouched.
‘It’s all alone on the edge of town and everything is frozen in time.

‘But it wasn’t until I looked at my photos again that I saw a figure in the hallway.
‘It looked like a black and white figure and looked like a ghost.
‘I felt really weird when I saw it.
‘I haven’t had much experience with the supernatural or ghosts.
“But I know the Japanese believe that ghosts stay where they belong.”
Teachers and students left the building empty after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
More than 18,000 people were killed in this devastating event.
The March 11, 2011, 9.0 magnitude Tohoku earthquake triggered a 41-meter (133-foot) tsunami that struck Japan’s east coast and melted down three nuclear reactors.
The nuclear fuel melted and leaked into the environment, forcing more than 300,000 people to be evacuated from their homes.
