Spoiler shield

This is the latest in a series of films showing forbidden and terrifying images of abandoned "ghost towns" in various parts of Japan that have not been put on any maps. Shocking footage submitted to the production committee, which reveals the truth behind strange rumors about a certain village, is presented in the form of a document submitted by the filmmakers.
