More often than not a yasha is female, apparently due to a woman’s great capacity for emotion and/or a natural disposition for assuming monstrous forms (according to certain Buddhists anyway).Vampire: ?Vampire Spawn: ?Ghost Yurei, Dim Spirit, Hazy Spirit, Faint Spirit: Yurei are ghosts (“yurei” translates to “dim/hazy/faint spirit”), usually formed when someone dies in battle, by murder, or from an unexpected accident. Most yurei are women, although male yurei are known.Hi No Tama, Will o' the Wisp: ?Ghost of Dead Sailor: ?Ghost of Those Who Died on Mountain Trail: ?Ghost Karakasa: ?Ghost Betobeto-San: ?Ghost Dorotabou: This rather odd ghost is created when an old man’s rice fields are sold soon after he dies.Rather Odd Ghost: ?Ghost Ikiryo, Living Ghost: An ikiryo is created when a person’s strong emotions manifest into physical form. Usually, ikiryo are created by women, a side effect of intense jealousy or anger.Ghost Gaki, Hungry Ghost, Preta: ?Ghost Gashadokuro: Standing fifteen times the height of a man (roughly 80 feet tall), the gashadokuro is an immense skeleton, made up of the spirits of people who died from starvation.Spirit of Person Who Died from Starvation: ?Ghost Kerakera-Onna, Laughing Woman: The ghost of a dead prostitute, the name “kerakera-onna” means “laughing woman.”Ghost of Dead Prostitute: ?Ghost Konaki-Jiji: Said to be the spirits of children left to die in the woods, a konaki-jiji appears as a small child with an old-man’s face.Spirit of a Child: ?Ghost Onbue-Onaki: This creature is either some form of spirit, or the creation of a kitsune or tanuki.Spirit: ?Ghost Tukap: This Ainu spirit of the dead tends to appear in dreams, carrying messages from the deceased or from the deity Kamui Fuchi (or other gods).Ainu Spirit of Dead: ?Ghost Ubume: These are the ghosts of women who were buried while pregnant and have given birth to a living child while still enclosed in their coffins.Ghost of a Woman who was Buried While Pregnant and has Given Birth to a Living Child While Still Enclosed in her Coffin: ?Ghost Zashiki-Warashi: The ghosts of children who sit on a sleeper’s chest, stealing the sleeper’s breath (a condition known as kanashibari). Another version of the zashiki-warashi describes them as mischievous house spirits.Ghost of a Child: ?Ghost, Okiku: Okiku was a maid in the home of a samurai and the keeper of one of the samurai’s most treasured possessions: a set of ten ceramic plates acquired from a Dutch trader. As Okiku was very beautiful, the samurai desired her to be his mistress, but she repeatedly refused. Frustrated, the samurai hid one of the plates and then demanded Okiku produce all ten. When she was unable, the samurai told her he’d overlook her carelessness if she agreed to become his mistress. When she once again refused, he killed her in a fit of rage and dumped her body down a well. Every night thereafter, her ghost would rise from the well, slowly count to nine, and then break into a loud wail.Ghost, Oiwa: The wife of a ronin (a masterless samurai), Oiwa was murdered by her husband after he fell in love with the granddaughter of a rich neighbor. He gave her poison in an attempt to kill her, disfiguring Oiwa terribly before she died. Unfortunately for the ronin, his servant Kohei was aware of what happened. In an effort to cover his tracks, the ronin murdered Kohei, nailed him and Oiwa to either sides of a wooden door, and dumped the door in the river. He then told everyone he’d caught the two having an affair as a justification for his actions.Ghost, Kohei: The wife of a ronin (a masterless samurai), Oiwa was murdered by her husband after he fell in love with the granddaughter of a rich neighbor.
