Japan isn't lacking in spirits and gouls. There is a number of unpleasant ghosts in Japanese folklore, and one of them is the scary Onryo. This is a spirit or ghost that is capable of causing a lot of harm against the living. It can even kill by murdering people or inflicting fatal accidents to steal away the departed souls.
Onryo has been known to make horrible disasters such as earthquakes, storms and even plague. It's widely believed that these Onryo spirits are the angry ghosts of people who were wronged or betrayed in life so in death they're filled with desire to seek revenge. This feeling has made the Onryo extremely powerful and very dangerous unless they're appeased.
These angry vengeful Onryo spirits have been exorcised and there is a tale about this in the "Konjaku Monogatarishu" collection from the Heian period of 794 to 1185. Many of these scary supernatural incidents during the Dark Ages era and Medieval times in Japan ended up as writings of dark tales.
Many of the Onryo are portrayed as having long hair and dressed in white kimonos. It seems to me that a number of the Onryo spirits and their legends have been showing up in a lot of horror films, books and frightening modern urban legends. Do you want to encounter one? Do you want to know more about them? Do you think you've experienced such an Onryo? It's a chilling idea.
Howls ^^
