Title: Wonderful Book on Taboo Subject!!
Product review: Having lived in Okinawa for over eight years, I think it is fairly amazing that Miss Hitchcock was able to collect as many stories as she did. It is notoriously difficult to get locals to discuss spirits as it is considered extreme bad luck to discuss hauntings. I believe it is this obstacle that is at the root of the size of the book and that the stories are so short. It is difficult to flesh out a story if you are unable to convince anyone to give you more information. Miss Hitchcock needs to be applauded for respecting the local Okinawans beliefs regarding the afterlife while managing to obtain the information she was in search of for this book. This book is an essential addition to anyone on Okinawa that is looking to go on a ghost hunt or if you simply want to learn a bit more about this incredible island.
