Yūrei

I think Ghost of Thornton Hall has, of course, Charlotte on the cover.

We have the Yurei on Shadow at the Water's Edge, but a lot of these game covers don't have a person on them, which I find kind of interesting.

I wonder if that plays into, like, whether I want to play the game more or less, or maybe it has no deciding factor on that whatsoever.

She had her only son, a boy of two years old, snugly wrapped up and asleep upon her back.

"'Listen,' said Okatsu, "'if you will all really agree to make over to me all the hemp spun to-day, I will go to the Yurei Daki.' Her proposal was received with cries of astonishment and of defiance, but after having been several times repeated, it was seriously taken.

Each of the spinners in turn agreed to give up her share of the day's work to Okatsu, providing that Okatsu should go to the Yuredaki.

But how are we to know if she really goes there? a sharp voice asked.

CHAPTER FIVE SHIRIO Footnote.

The term shirio, dead ghost, that is to say the ghost of a dead person, is used in contrast extinction to the term ikirio, signifying the apparition of a living person.

Yurei is a more generic name for ghosts of any sort.

End of footnote.

so our first theory is Regarding Japanese ghosts.

So there's a traditional Japanese ghost called the Yurei.

And it kind of made its first like historical documentation during the Middle Ages.

And it's still widely mentioned up to present date.

They were the first person to paint the yurei with no feet.

And then there's also, like, standard, they're called Kaidan tales, which are supernatural folklore of Japan.

And they refer to the Ashigenai Yurei, which is, Yurei is obviously the ghost.

And then Ashigenai means there are no legs.
