This is the last entry in the popular psychic documentary series and it premieres at the Summer of Horror Treasures.

Check the website link for more. The trailer covers the entire festival.
Synopsis: The Shin Mimi G-men head out to haunted spots around Japan to capture psychic phenomena on camera. This is the final part of the series and the team of middle-aged men are joined by Yukiko Sumi, editor-in-chief of TOCANA, a web news site that specialises in mysterious phenomena, making her the first woman to join the G-men as they visit abandoned buildings, campsites, studios, animal parks, and other haunted places that are said to be “100% haunted.”
