Ghosts & Vengeful Spirits

关于此种类

The spirits of the deceased who remain in the mortal world due to unresolved grudges, deep sorrow, or unfulfilled desires. Unlike yokai that were never human, these entities were once living people. Famous examples include the tales of Oiwa from Yotsuya Kaidan and Okiku from Banchō Sarayashiki. Vengeful spirits (onryō) are among the most feared supernatural beings in Japanese culture.
