In Japan, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe & his wife have repeatedly postponed moving into their official residence. The building is the site of several assassinations & the delay has revived talk of poltergeists & ghosts in the corridors, prompting a government spokesman to deny any knowledge of hauntings.
The couple have not moved into the prime minister’s official residence during the 5 months since he took power.
After questions from an opposition MP about the reported hauntings, the government issued a formal statement at the weekend saying it was “Not aware of any ghost sightings,” according to media reports.
The residence was built in 1929 & was the site of several military rebellions, including one in 1932 when then-Prime Minister Inukai was assassinated.
There have been rumors of poltergeists & ghosts in the building for many years, even after it was remodeled in 2003. It was officially designated as the official residence for the prime minister & the premier’s family in 2005, having previously been used as the Prime Minister’s office.
Prime Minister Abe has given no explanation for the delay in moving in, but it is not uncommon for the premier to take some time before taking up residence, particularly if his wife does not like the wallpaper.
