The Ghost That Wanders Below Mount Yotei
**The Ghost That Wanders Below Mount Yotei** is a chilling local legend from Hokkaido, Japan. Said to haunt the forests and foothills surrounding the majestic Mount Yotei — often called \"Ezo Fuji\" for its resemblance to Mount Fuji — the ghost is believed to be the restless spirit of a lost mountaineer or a betrayed lover, depending on the version told. Locals report sightings of a pale, silent figure drifting through the mist at dusk, often vanishing near hidden trails or old shrine ruins. Hikers speak of sudden drops in temperature, whispers on the wind, and the eerie feeling of being followed. While many dismiss it as myth, some say the mountain keeps its secrets — and its ghosts — well protected.
