Did you know that Sadako (the ghostly killer from “The Ring”) and other figures from Japanese horror movies/ghost stories are a unique kind of spirit called a Yūrei? These are ghosts that have a long and fascinating history here in Japan. This is my attempt at a brief introduction to this kind of ghost. For more information, great resources are “Yūrei” by Zack Davisson and “In Ghostly Japan” by Lafcadio Hearn.
