Ghost stories are one of the most remarkable pages of Japanese folklore. The peculiarities of human psychology are such that stories about guests from the other world will always attract attention and excite the imagination. Japanese ghosts, or yurei, undoubtedly stand out among the world ghost community for their aggressiveness, malevolence and fierce desire to get even with the living.

A deceived wife who passionately wants to take her unfaithful husband to pieces, the great Taira Masakado, who never completed his grandiose rebellion, a battalion of dead soldiers forever experiencing their last campaign in the Hakkoda Mountains, the offended maid O-Kiku, who settled in a well, to the delight of the surrounding residents, - these and many other stories will not leave the reader bored. Leafing through this book, the reader will become acquainted with the most famous Japanese ghosts. A small bonus will be tips on survival when confronted with one or another Japanese ghost, which is not without meaning, since some of the heroes of this book still exist.
