S4E4 Ghosts of Truk Lagoon / Japanese Kappa Monster

Scuba divers often rave about the Truk Lagoon, nestled between the Philippines and Hawaii near the Chuuk Islands. This area is renowned for its exceptional wreck diving, housing remnants from a significant World War II battle between Japan and the United States. Numerous ships, planes, tanks, and submarines have rested here for nearly 70 years, and divers as well as locals report eerie encounters with the spirits of the soldiers who once occupied these vessels. In northern Japan, many children's lunchboxes feature a charming green creature known as a Kappa. Once considered a malevolent hybrid of a demon and a turtle, it has evolved into a beloved national symbol. However, recent unsettling sightings have sparked fears that the Kappa may have resurfaced, linked to the mysterious disappearances of livestock and even children.
