The purpose of this paper is to study the spread of rumors about haunted places and the characteristics of ghosts and mental images of places. In today’s world, there are many places rumored to be haunted spots in everyday life, and information about them is constantly being spread through the environment of the Internet. Ghost stories, such as those on “Oshima Teru” and “2channel” (now 5channel), have continued to spread, changing their forms with the passage of time. In recent years, some YouTubers have been active in spreading rumors of haunted places. In considering the rumors and mental images of haunted places, we referred to OIKAWA Shohei’s “Shinrei Spot Kou: Gendai ni okeru kaii tan no jittai” (“The Reality of Ghost Spots: Kaiyutan in the Modern Age”) and MATSUBARA Tanishi’s “Gaikai Tansaku Ki: Dai-oi Tabi” (“Exploring the Otherworld: A Terrifying Journey”) as prior research. The analysis of the types of rumors, the places where rumors are likely to occur, and the places where multiple rumors coexist revealed a number of interesting events and a wide variety of circumstances that led to the birth of haunted places. The culture of haunted places will never die out. The culture of haunted places will continue to change with the expansion of social circles in the world.11 ■■■■12
