Apprehension has ripped the air as ghost boats with several unidentified dead bodies were spotted floating on Japan shores.

Ghost boats washing up on the shores of Japan are causing puzzlement, with indications that they come from North Korea.
 
Since October, 21 bodies have been found on 13 otherwise empty boats, a spokesman for the coast guard said on Thursday.

He said: “On almost all the boats there are indications that they come from the Korean Peninsula.”
 
New York's Pix 11 reports that over the past two months, at least eight wooden boats have been found in the Sea of Japan on or near the coast, carrying a chilling cargo — the decaying bodies of 20 people.
 
A report from Japan said that the boats appeared to be from North Korea, although the spokesman said this was not confirmed. Some news reports said there were clues that they were possibly operated by the military, and the causes of death was not known.

They may have been soldiers who starved or froze after being sent on fishing missions as part of the recent drive by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to find more food for the resource-strapped country, some reports said.
 
However, the spokesperson said the boats which were all found in the Sea of Japan- the phenomenon is nothing new.
