In this chilling Supernatural Japan episode, host Kevin O’Shea ventures to the heart of western Tokyo to unravel the dark mysteries of the haunted Doryodo Ruins in Hachioji’s Ōtsukayama Park. Once a serene temple built in 1874 and demolished in the 1980s, the site is now infamous for a horrifying trio of murders—a robbery-slain elderly caretaker in 1963, a young co-ed murdered in 1973, and lingering whispers that hint at yet another tragic incident—all of which contribute to the ruin’s eerie reputation. Blending spine‑tingling history, local ghost sightings, and folklore, this episode delves into reports of distant weeping, lost spirits calling "I’m here," and the supernatural legacy that still haunts one of Tokyo’s most notorious shinrei supotto (haunt spots). Perfect for true‑crime and paranormal podcast fans, this episode explores how unbearable grief and unsolved deaths have turned an abandoned temple into a magnet for ghost hunters and urban explorers alike.
