HAUNTED HIROSHIMA The actual site of Atomic Bomb Dome, the nuclear bomb blast that ended World War II. Is thought to be a very a haunted hotspot with what many claim is the residual hauntings and auditory phenomenon have been reported here and sensitive visitors have reported hearing cries and screams. This is what many refer to as Ghost Hunters ghost hunting Ground Zero! Many actual electronic voice phenomena (EVP) happen here, but be respectful, as always when collecting them. One famous EVP is said to be of the actual sound of the bomb exploding. The capital of Hiroshima Prefecture, and the largest city in the Chūgoku region of western Honshū, the largest island of Japan. It became the first city in history assaulted by nuclear armament when the United States of America dropped an atomic bomb on it on August 6, 1945, near the culmination of World War II. Hiroshima gained municipality status on April 1, 1889, and was designated on April 1, 1980, by government ordinance. The citys current mayor is Tadatoshi Akiba.During World War II, the Second Army and Chugoku Regional Army were headquartered in Hiroshima, and the Army Marine Headquarters was located at Ujina port. The city also had large depots of military supplies, and was a key center for shipping. The bombing of Tokyo and other cities in Japan during World War II caused widespread destruction and hundreds of thousands of deaths, nearly all civilians. For example, Toyama, an urban area of 128,000, was nearly fully destroyed, and incendiary attacks on Tokyo are credited with claiming 90,000 lives. There were no such air raids in Hiroshima. However, the threat was certainly there and to protect against potential firebombings in Hiroshima, students were mobilized to demolish houses and create firebreaks. On Monday, August 6, 1945, at 8:15 AM, the nuclear bomb Little Boy was dropped on Hiroshima by an American B-29 bomber, the Enola Gay,directly killing an estimated 80,000 people. By the end of the year, injury and radiation brought total casualties to 90,000-140,000. Approximately 69% of the citys buildings were completely destroyed, and about 7% severely damaged. Research about the effects of the attack was restricted during the occupation of Japan, and information censored until the signing of the San Francisco Peace Treaty in 1951, restoring control to the Japanese. Much has been written in news reports, novels, and popular culture about Hiroshima in the years after the bombing. And many keep private secrets of the ghost that encounter on daily basis.
