Did Japan PM encounter a ghost at her residence?

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has shared an unusual personal story about life inside Japan’s official residence, revealing she has never encountered a ghost, but was once distressed by an unexpected visitor. She responded to a question about supernatural experiences at the residence, explaining she once encountered a cockroach that she could not kill, which left her with a belief in reincarnation that has stayed with her for decades.The official residence, known for its long history, is not immune to supernatural encounters, according to Takaichi.

Instead of attempting to kill the cockroach, she decided to leave it alone, aligning with her childhood belief in reincarnation. This experience is one of many she has had at the residence, where she took precautions to prevent such incidents, including careful food waste disposal and cleaning.After initially keeping the incident to herself, Takaichi eventually confided in her secretaries, who took immediate action, dubbing it "Operation Combat."

Her staff successfully dealt with the problem, leaving Takaichi feeling relieved but also a bit lonely or sad. The story highlights the powerful influence of childhood experiences on even ordinary moments in the life of a public figure.
