Nairaland GeneralGhost Boats Mystery Grips Japan (pictured) by heatflux(op): 9:33am On Dec 04, 2015
Mystery surrounds a fleet of ghost boats with headless skeletons or rotting corpses on board that are washing up on Japan's shores.

At least 14 weathered vessels -- some badly damaged or capsized -- with almost two dozen bodies have been discovered since October.

Mounting evidence suggests that the rickety boats have come from isolated and impoverished North Korea.
Some net users in Japan speculate the dead could have been defectors looking for escape from the intolerant regime of Kim Jong-Un, but experts say they were likely fishermen on an ill-fated, but government-mandated, search for bigger catches.

"Out of three bodies that our divers found on November 23, one had its head, but the two others were headless," Coast Guard official Shuichi Hashizume told AFP, of a vessel discovered in the Sea of Japan (East Sea) last month.

"When we dragged the ship onshore we found six skulls inside," he added.

The detachment of the heads indicates those onboard have been dead for a considerable time, with body parts separated by a lengthy natural decay.

- Spies -

The coastguard says the boats are nothing new, pointing out that over the last five years there have been more than 250 incidents involving at least one boat.

But the sudden concentration of finds over a short period is unusual.

Some of the vessels have Korean-language markings suggesting connections with the North Korean military or state security organs.

Japan's North Korea-obsessed media have been quick to pounce on the story, dispatching teams of reporters and camera crews to communities along the shore where boats have appeared.

Such a reaction is no surprise in a country with ample reason to be suspicious -- even fearful -- of its antagonistic and often unpredictable neighbour.

In the 1970s and 1980s, North Korean agents launched kidnapping raids on Japan's coastline, snatching people to train the Stalinist regime's spies in Japanese language and customs.

For years Pyongyang denied the charge, but now admits it abducted a handful of people -- Japanese campaigners say it could have been more than a hundred -- and remains opaque about the fate of many.

The issue continues to provoke strong emotions in Japan, where any hint of clandestine North Korean action is leapt on.

On Thursday, Japan's coast guard provided the latest clue linking the ghost ships to Pyongyang, when it announced the discovery of a new set of remains inside a wooden ship found in waters off Sado island.

"The body was wearing a black jumper and trousers," Coast Guard spokesman Hiromasa Suzuki told AFP. The flesh on the skull had all gone.

On the outside of the ship was a sign in Korean script, while inside was a backpack containing a badge with what looked like an image of Kim Jong-Il, the late father of current North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, Suzuki said.

- Bigger catches -

Toshimitsu Shigemura, an expert on North Korea at Tokyo's Waseda University, said it was likely the vessels were fishing boats that had ventured far from their own coast in search of bigger catches, at the behest of leader Kim.

"Food shortages have been serious in North Korea, and Kim Jong-Un last year ordered that more fish be caught to solve the problem," he said.

Yang Moo-Jin, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul, agreed.

"Nearly all North Korean fishermen belong to state or military organisations, and they have often been pushed to seek bigger catches in more distant, remote waters," he said.

"The main problem is that their vessels are old and poorly equipped, so if they run into trouble –- mechanical or otherwise -- on the high seas, then they become highly vulnerable with no option to call for rescue.

"In those circumstances, they can run out of fuel and food very quickly," Yang said.

I once believed that there is nothing dialogue can not solve until I started hearing about terrorism. Terrorism can only be solved with greater and opposing force, the choice of cruelty as opposition to terrorism is not wickedness. Terrorist don't understand civility. huh
several decades on with 14years of active and great opposition, the US is yet to solve it's own terror problems. Infact it has always been backfiring. Bullet alone cannot solve the problem

menabadoo:
Look at coal from a well that was dug in enugu. I'm seeing this for the first time
you should understand that those places were not meant to be residential. Its very dangerous to live in those areas. Some people have even built houses on abandoned coal mines without knowing. Both the state government and the people of the state should be blamed for this. This is why Enugu coal is "technically" not available for commercial purposes as no company is willing to de flood the underground mines because is really capital intensive. The best solution is for FG to drive people away from such areas, but I trust the people affected would not take it well and would definitely resist any govt action

I am currently mortified because the other night, I got WAY too drunk and my ex boyfriend nd girlfriend came over and listened to me drunkenly ramble and make a fool out of myself for 3 hours. I have little to no recollection of any of it and can't stop regretting every time I think about what I possibly may have said. I am completely mortified.

Oya lemme add small jara on top...

Mofe didn't need to be a genius and to know something was wrong. Ezinne had been suspiciously quiet through his final game, she hadn't been as vocal as she usually was during the game. He had stolen glances over at her during the game, and the looks she had given him had said it all.

He had even slam dunked a basket and had gotten no reaction from her.

Now as she parked the car in front of his place, she didn't say a word.

He took a glance at her, her features were straight, giving off nothing which was really weird. Ezinne was always bright and after a great game today, she wasn't supposed to be this quiet.

"I am sorry for keeping you so long on the court." He tried apologising again wondering if that was the problem.

"It's okay." She replied quietly still looking ahead.

"Are you sure?" He had to ask.

"Sure." She replied with a shrug.

"Are you coming in?" He asked again, he didn't need a psychic to tell him what her answer would be.

"No, I think I will go home now, it's getting late."

"Late?” He asked her, “It's just five pm. What's really wrong, Ezinne? What did I do...or not do, knowingly or unknowingly?"

"Nothing." She replied quietly.

"Ezinne I am not leaving your car until you tell me what is wrong." He reached out to her, lightly touching her chin, turning her face, so he could look into her eyes. She couldn't hide when he was holding her gaze. "What is the problem?"

She sighed and finally spoke up. "Who was that girl on the court?"

He frowned not recalling any other girl aside from her on the court. "What girl?"

"The one you were talking to when you were going back for your last game.... The one rubbing on you all over!" She snapped, looking away from him.

He remembered talking to Trisha, a girl he trained privately sometimes but he didn't recall her rubbing him all over. " Are you talking about the tall, light complexioned girl?"

"Yes! She was heavily flirting with you and you just let her. Touching you like you were her boyfriend and you let her!" She accused, looking at him now, she added. “In my presence for that matter!”

He really didn't recall any touching happening, they had just been talking normally.

Ezinne continued. “At least Ekene had the gall to hide his philandering but you….”

“Hey, hey!” He cut her off. “Don't lump me in with your ex boyfriend! You know it's not like that, you know I would never do that to you. All I did was talk to the girl….”

She sighed seeming to calm down a bit, “I don't know Mofe…. she was flirting and you didn't mind at all.”

"Wait...but she didn't touch me inappropriately…. I really don't recall any touching, talk more about inappropriate touching." Mofe defended, what was Ezinne talking about?

"She was rubbing her fingers against your arm... to you it might be normal and okay but I don't like it. That's it, I just don't like it.”

Mofe's eyes widened as realisation dawned on him, "Ezinne..are you jealous?"

She gave him an incredulous look."No...of course I'm not jealous! Don't turn this on me, you allowed her to touch you in my presence... I didn't like it...please next time don't let her do that, that's all I’m asking."

Mofe shook his head, smiling. She was so jealous, she didn't want any other females hands on him except for her's.

So she was the possessive type, that was good to know. He decided to play with her a bit.

Speaking up, he said, "Oh, okay? I guess I can make demands of mine as well since you brought up the subject. There are also a few things which you do that I don't like.”

"What are you talking about?" She asked turning to him.

"Your shorts...they are..too short and clingy...showing off your…... I don't like you wearing them outside… in public!” He said trying his best to keep a straight and serious expression on his face. “I don't like the way all the guys stare at your hips, your butt and your creamy legs. I haven't said anything about it before but since we are discussing our likes and dislikes, this is mine, I just don't like it."

A smile slowly crept up on her face, "You are joking right?"

"Were you joking when you accused me of enjoying another girl's touch?"

"No..I , that wasn't a joke."

"Then I am also not joking. Since you don't like a girl touching me, I don't like guys staring at your .... Lower parts."

She burst into giggles as she shook her head looking at him, she still couldn't tell if he was serious or not. "It's just stares, no harm in people staring, is there..."

"I just don't like them staring at you." He said, his tone adamant.

"Mofe... I don't mean to blow my own trumpet... but you can see I am quite attractive…. they will still stare if I am not on shorts."

"Okay,” he nodded in agreement. “Then I want you in Caftans all the time… big parachute Caftans." He said trying hard to still keep a straight face but knew he couldn't hold it for long.

She doubled over in laughter, as she punched him on the shoulder playfully, "You are such a clown."

He smiled, watching her. She looked so adorable and he couldn't help but stare at her entranced, almost in disbelief that she was his.

Reaching for her again, he pulled her closer, closing the distance between them, capturing her soft lips.

They kissed for moment before he pulled away.

" You are so beautiful. " He told her. " I see only you, I really didn't notice Trisha's touch... But if you don't like it, it won't happen again. "

She smiled at him with a slight shrug, "guess I am jealous, thanks for understanding."

He nodded, "You have nothing to be jealous about, I see only you. So you coming in? I need to take a shower then we could hang, maybe go over our Project defence?"

She nodded smiling and everything was good again.
