Rising like a battleship from the sea, Hashima Island is one of Japan’s most mysterious and chilling abandoned sites. Once a bustling coal mining colony, it was abandoned overnight and left to crumble into the waves. Its history of wartime forced labor, tragic deaths, and sudden desolation has fueled ghost stories and made it a magnet for paranormal fascination.

In this episode of Is This Real?, we uncover the rise and fall of Hashima Island, its ties to Japan’s darker past, and whether its legends of haunting might hold some truth.
