VA - Late Night Tales By The Cin
Irene Raynoso
A month later, I woke up one night around 4 a.m. My body was covered in goose bumps. It felt like someone was rubbing his or her hands on me. Everything was silent, but then I heard a dragging sound coming from above my bed. It was as if someone was pulling a sack of potatoes. I froze, convinced someone was up there. There is no way an animal could make that sound. After five minutes, I worked up the courage to turn on the light, armed myself with a cricket bat and walked to the bathroom.

This kind of Japanese ghost story also relates to vengeful spirits but unlike the goryo, which is not necessarily a wrathful spirit, the onryo is almost always a malicious ghost as they died full of anger, and only return to scare the living to death and take their souls. Victims of domestic abuse or women martyred by wicked stalkers or maniacs will most likely turn into onryo in the afterlife. This category also serves as a staple for J-horror movies and has appeared as the renowned Kayako from The Grudge or Sadako from The Ring.
According to some legends, funayurei are remnants of those who sank in shipwrecks and crave for vengeance due to their death. Trying to take the living away with them, Funayurei cause sea storms or damage ships. They are usually depicted as scaly fish-like men with droopy eyes and a deformed head. They appear in the sea standing on the ghost ship blazing in the foggy night and willing to expand their gruesome crew.
The legend says that a man who was making his living from catching and selling suppon ended up suffering from the grudge of caught turtles. Every night, long legless ghosts with prominent lips haunted the poor victim. Later on, he discovered in horror that his newborn son was looking like a softshell turtle. Disfigured and ugly, he had pointed long lips, narrow large eyes, and webbed toes and fingers. To add to the horror, his turtle-like mouth prevented him from eating normal food and the only thing he could eat was worms.
