The Dark Mysteries of Hashima Island
Japan's Abandoned Battleship Island and the Ghosts of Forced LaborBy Aiden Nightfall
Length1h 27m
About this audiobook
Hashima Island — known to the world as Gunkanjima, or "Battleship Island" — stands as one of the most compelling and disturbing locations in the study of the unexplained. Located approximately 15 kilometers southwest of Nagasaki in the East China Sea, this tiny artificial fortress of concrete and decay was once the most densely populated place on Earth. Today it is abandoned, its apartment blocks crumbling into the sea, its mines silent, and its ghosts — if they exist — left alone in the ruins.
