Tales of Folk Ghosts and Spirits

Deep in the mountains, fox spirits take human form and befriend hunters. But if they are betrayed, they cast spells to make the hunters lose their way in the forest.

And in a forgotten, desolate shrine, candlelight flickers every night, as if someone unseen were praying.

These tales of ghosts and spirits are filled with wonder, yet also reflect local customs and people's reverence for the unknown. They are mysterious treasures of folk culture. Each story is like a key that opens a door to a mysterious world, inviting readers to experience a different kind of wonder and terror.
