 | | Far Eastern ghost horrors are often founded on this principle: Ringu, Dark Waters, The Eye, The Grudge - these are all examples of movies that feature pretty pissed-off ghosts that have had their lives ended in a sudden (except for Ringu, but that was an equally brutal end) and often violent way. |
 | | However, when a person dies suddenly by murder, is slain in battle, commits suicide, or when he or she hasn't been given an appropriate funeral, the reikon may become a yuurei to seek revenge. |
 | | Many yuurei are female ghosts who suffered badly in life from love, jealousy, sorrow, or regret. |
