English Version
At the ruins of the former Yubetsu Coal Mine Hospital in Akan-cho, Kushiro, visitors and urban legend fans often mention a strange detail: the operating room and morgue, which should have existed in a hospital of this kind, are said to be impossible to find.
There is also a rumor that if someone takes an object from the hospital ruins as a souvenir, they will later receive a phone call demanding that it be returned.
The surrounding coal mine once suffered a large-scale gas explosion that caused many deaths and injuries. As the coal industry declined with the times, it is easy to imagine that the town itself—including the hospital—also faded away.
Some say the lingering hardship of the miners and residents, along with their regrets and grief, remains in this place as paranormal phenomena.
Location: Yubetsu 22-sen, Akan-cho, Kushiro, Hokkaido.

本来あるはずの手術室や霊安室を見つけることができないと言われている。この病院跡地から記念に何かを持ち帰ると返せという電話が来るという噂もある。かつて大規模なガス爆発により多数の死傷者がでた。時代の流れとともに炭鉱は衰退し、それとともに病院も含めて町全体が衰退していったことは想像に難くない。労働者、住民たちの積年の苦しみ、無念の思いが今も心霊現象となってこの地にとどまっている、とでも言うのだろうか。北海道釧路市阿寒町雄別２２線 ※この記事は情報整理のため一部内容を更新しました
