Ghosts of the tsunami. Longform article from the London Review of Books about the supernatural/psychological effects of the recent tsunami.
I met a priest in the north of Japan who exorcised the spirits of people who had drowned in the tsunami. The ghosts did not appear in large numbers until later in the year, but Reverend Kaneda’s first case of possession came to him after less than a fortnight.
