The writing as usual is good - although you have a "procession" where I think you mean "processing". I'm not quite sold on the story. The interaction of the Factory and the ghosts doesn't quite become clear, and nor does the relationship between the symptoms of the anomaly and the ghosts.
I'm also finding it hard to buy the characterisation/logic - would whole towns really hide the existence of schools that threaten their kids (and if the schools are hidden, how do those kids go on to university etc), why would WWII ghosts be linked to 1920s English naval uniforms, when it was primarily the US navy in action in the Pacific theatre of WWII, why doesn't the Foundation simply arrange for the Japanese government to ban fuku entirely, which would contain the entire anomaly?
I would suggest removing the paragraph about ectoplasm. I know that it's the clue that there are ghosts involved, but I think it will be very distracting - you already need to spend a paragraph and a long footnote justifying its role.
