At Seiwa Market, where strange things always seem to happen after closing hours, an elderly gentleman asked one day: ‘Why does that delivery driver whisper every time he sees the old lady who lives next door?’ ‘Oh,’ replied another customer with a twinkle in his eye. ‘She’s not just any neighbor—she’s the ghost of the market’s original owner. They say she doesn’t like it when strangers come too close.’ The elderly man nodded knowingly and whispered back, ‘Guess that explains why the delivery guy keeps his head down!’
