What is Yūrei : the Japanese ghost about?

"I lived in a haunted apartment." Zack Davisson opens this definitive work on Japan's ghosts, or __yurei__, with a personal tale about the spirit world. Eerie red marks on the apartment's ceiling kept Zack and his wife on edge. The landlord warned them not to open a door in the apartment that led to nowhere. "Our Japanese visitors had no problem putting a name to it . . . they would sense the vibes of the place, look around a bit and inevitably say '__Ahhh__ . . . __yurei ga deteru__.' There is a __yurei__ here."Combining his lifelong interest in Japanese tradition and his personal experiences with these vengeful spirits, Davisson launches an investigation into the origin, popularization, and continued existence of __yurei__ in Japan. Juxtaposing historical documents and legends against contemporary __yurei__-based horror films such as __The Ring__, Davisson explores the persistence of this paranormal phenomenon in modern day Japan and its continued spread throughout the West.
