During one of these ghost-inspired English classes a student inadvertently revealed I was living and working on haunted ground. This student claimed the fact I was living in the presence of so many ghosts is quite likely why my school didn’t charge me for my room—a way of assuaging the school director’s guilt should anything awful happen to me.

After my students assured me nothing would happen since I was a foreigner and was therefore essentially invisible to local spirits, we returned to exploring the differences between American and Japanese ghosts.
