Probably a neighbour did it who wanted to keep the value up on his or her property.
If the buildings remained it might have a haunted house effect.
Or some drunk punks Saturday night fun.
The electric theory seems a bit flimsy.
I hope Kashiwa does not get the Saitama stigma.
It is a cool bed city place.
I am not surprised. Nobody would want to live there after what happened. You've seen the Grudge movies. Many Japanese actually believe in those kinds of things.

The land value is higher than the haunted house value. And how many new "houses" (shoe boxes) can be built in 205 sm?

An "electricity leak"??? How is that detected - by the puddle of electricity on the floor?

Leaky electrical sockets are dangerous. I came home one day and my apartment was flooded.

lol, if you want to detect an electrical leak I suggest standing on a wet floor with bare feet and using a metal key...
Of course I and JT now issue the standard disclaimers for "don't try this at home, or in a haunted house."
Seriously, sounds like arson. Especially if the house was empty. If the switches are off current won't heat up anything.
