By analyzing the different ways in which children encounter "yōkai spirits", the purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship between "yōkai spirits" and children, and also to consider the significance to children of "school ghost stories". Previous research into folklore has explained contemporary "school ghost stories" as residual "folk sensations" handed down from pre-modern times. This study attempts to reveal the contemporary significance of "school ghost stories", and the results of the survey show clearly that modern children categorize "school ghost stories" as an aspect of play.

The purpose of this thesis is to consider why children tell "Gakkou no Kwaidan" through a statistical verification of hypothesis that the cause of "Gakkou no Kwaidan" boom is resistance by children who are oppressed at school and home. In 2007, this survey was carried out at five public elementary schools and two public junior high schools in Tohoku, Kinki and Chugoku regions. For this analysis it was examined what variables determined children's attitude toward ghost story by means of four independent variables: sex, educational phase, student subculture, and parent-child relationship. As a result of analysis, it didn't support the conventional hypothesis that "Gakkou no Kwaidan" boom caused by children resistingpressure. It was proposed a new hypothesis that the source of occurring" Gakkou no Kwaidan" was will of children trying to acquire an identity of its own because there was correlation between attitude toward ghost story and variables associated with recognition and communication.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the possibility of denying the existence of ghosts through scientific thinking. In the past there has been a tendency to think that immature children mistakenly believe in "paranormal phenomena" and it is not fully understood how rational adults are able to believe in them. This study examines the relationship between belief in "paranormal phenomena" and scientific thinking. The results of this study show that the acquisition of scientific thinking has no effect on the denial of the existence of "paranormal phenomena". It is suggested that the premise of immature children believing in "paranormal phenomena" should be revised.
