Yūrei are the figure in Japanese folklore (like the America tales), Yokai is demon, spirit, monster, but many more-
Only I know of, "Spirited Away" is my favorite movie from Japan. That's part of the Ghosts Life world in other side. A girl and her parents who entered into the train station from the tunnel passover and caught some addicted to eat in the Ghosts Life world. The Ghosts caught her parents and turned into pigs. A girl didn't eat anything and she wont to eat very strange food in other world like that. But "Spirited Away" is good story for all ages. I recommended you to rent it or buy it!
Damn to my brother- he sold my "Spirit Away" DVD to the comic books trades without my permission. It was two years ago. I am very upset, he never get it back. But I will buy it next time. Because of "Spirited Away" are very rare to get. I will look it up again in the Amazon.com to order it.
You know the Realm- in Japan.
Some famous locations that are said to be haunted by yūrei are the well of Himeji Castle, haunted by the ghost of Okiku, and Aokigahara, the forest at the bottom of Mt. Fuji, which is a popular location for suicide. A particularly powerful onryō, Oiwa, is said to be able to bring vengeance on any actress portraying her part in a theater or film adaptation.But I heard about the suicide site in MT Fuji.... Aokgahara. Why? lost a job, or shame, or, dishonorable, heartbroken over the marriage or love. That's the popular location for only suicide. Anyway, in America does have the suicide? Of course! It's famous Golden Bridge of San Francisco, CA!
I know that how we can't afford to go to Japan and check it out with the well of Himeji Castle... haunted by ghost of Okiku. I wish I can investigating this place...by this place. I know that Japanese would not allowed the paranormal investigators.
If Ghost Adventures, or Ghost Hunters International to go Japan, It would be more awesome!
And, say, I let you know that I went to Japan in 1999. I did see many graveyards in Japan. They don't allow any tourists through the visit the graveyard...you know why? If you go to enter this Japan graveyard, when you done with those walk out of the graveyard, they would chase you with bad luck. It can be happen to you- That is why my friend warned me not to enter into Japan's graveyard because they don't know who you are, and not to be related to you. They would chase you out. ....who knows? Anyone know about it? Contact me.
Today, in Japan- have very popular horror films, like "Ring" is more worse than "The Shinning" actions. Japanese men like to take the girlfriends to go horror movies, that way the Japanese men likes to attraction of those girlfriends to get scared and grabbed those shirts all time, or hold his arm and "don't look" on men's chests, of course, that's what guys liked.
To me, by my alone, I would be jump up and chow my blanket on the HBO movies more better than in the theater, NO WAY. -- I don't like "Aliens" or "Freddy" or "Friday, 13th" series movies. NAH. HOW BORED. That's why I am tired of this horror movies since I stopped watch in 1980s. Now it's turn into Paranormal program reality now it's interested to know about! I want to see these motives, actions, lots of happened in reality!
I hope that you might feel like that I am too much talkative on this blog about the Ghosts of Japan! LOL.
I am waiting for Alycia about the new announce, for this fall. I will let you know more to come!
