Operation: Specter

Operation: Specter is a display of illusory magic practiced by the Tanuki elders of Shikoku that simulates a ghostly parade of youkai and demons as part of a last ditch attempt to protect Tama Hills from human development. Since the humans of New Tama are not as superstitious as those in Shinkoku, it winds up being confused for a festive piece of advertisement for a local theme-park company, made all the more insulting since one of the Elders wound up dying from the strain of it.
