Phantom Detection

In Japan there is the Shinto belief that there is a Kami or spirit in all things relating to the natural world. From the smallest creature to the largest fixture in the landscape some include water, rock, tree and mountain, there are hundreds if not thousands of natural elements that have a kami. European culture, like the Japanese, has a long history of humanised natural spirits in folklore as in Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Nights Dream’. Much of the story takes place within a forest with mischievous woodland sprits playing tricks not only on themselves but also on the humans who dare venture into the forest.
