[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 8551797, member: 50895"] Well I didn't state the entirety - I wasn't trying to retell the entire one-shot, but the ghost, Kana, does not know who her assailant is. She was in a bath, when someone (the bath house owner/manager) came from behind her, shoved her under the water with a washing brush, wrapping her hair into it, to tie her down, and subsequently drowned. She doesn't know who her murderer is, and she is cursing any possible encounter people in order to help her solve the mystery to her own death. If her hatred was targetted to a known assailant, it's unlikely a curse manifested to aid in her situation would even exist - it exists, because she doesn't know her assailant. She needs somebody to solve her murder and release her soul. She was a lowly born servant girl/bath house attendant, unknown to the owner/manager, she had developed a relationship with a young samurai and married him, though mixed castes socially is taboo, so they kept it secret. However, the owner/manager (a woman) keeps a bath house with an impeccable reputation - some bath houses gain the reputation as brothels, something this owner feared might happen and ruin her. Seeing Kana with the samurai made her suspect Kana was prostituting herself, which if public would ruin the establishments reputation. So she killed Kana. Kana was quietly celebrating her wedding night to announce her marriage the next day, but did not live to tell about it. Events leading to ghostdom, are supposed to be tragic stories, right?
