On March 11, 2011 at 2:46 PM a magnitude-9.0 earthquake occurred in the western Pacific Ocean, 80 miles east of the Japanese city of Sendai.  The seismic activity caused significant displacement of the Pacific Plate, which, in turn, led to the generation of highly destructive tsunami waves.  A wave measuring 33 feet tall hammered the coast and submerged parts of Sendai, including its airport and  countryside.   At first, reports of casualties following the Tsunami indicated hundreds had died with hundreds more missing.  However, the numbers in both categories increased significantly over the following days as the magnitude of the devastation became apparent.  But as the search for victims continued, the official count of those confirmed dead or still missing ultimately reached over 19,300.

The survivors, to this day, recount seeing spectral figures—strangers, familiar faces, and departed loved ones.  Stories of hauntings emerged from homes, workplaces, public areas, beaches, and the devastated towns.
