[Episode 14] Africa Kennel (Part 1) — Investigating One of Saitama’s Foremost Haunted Spots, Said to Be Wandered by a Spirit Bound to This World. At the Site of the Saitama Dog-Lovers’ Serial Murder Case, We Found Something We Never Expected.

Part 1 of Episode 14, “The One Hiding in the Shed.” An investigation at the Africa Kennel site in Kumagaya, Saitama.

In introducing this place, this site has drawn a line. Because there are people who suffered in a real case, we do not exaggerate rumors for entertainment. We believe that conveying plainly what was seen and heard on site is the sincere way to approach this kind of place.

In this part, what remained inside the ruin is recorded. It is entertainment with staged elements and we do not guarantee its accuracy. The site may be private property, and we do not recommend entering without permission. We do not disclose its present condition or exact location.

What to Watch For

Note that this site does not disclose the present condition or exact location. It may be private property, and we do not recommend entering without permission. Please take what appears on screen as a record of a ruin, without assuming a link to the case.

Our Take

At a place with a real case in the background, the reaction “scary” and the posture of mourning do not sit easily together. In our view, exaggerating rumors for fun can wound those who suffered a second time. That is why we make it a condition of introducing this episode to convey plainly what was seen and heard on site and to avoid any lurid or sensational description. We write separately what could be confirmed and what could not. That is how this site approaches this kind of place.
