Ghosts are the spirits of the dead who harbor regrets and grudges and are unable to attain enlightenment. They are said to wander the world harboring resentment and appear before those related to them. It is said that they will disappear if their wishes are granted, their regrets are resolved, and they are given peace of mind.
Characteristics
Regrets and Grudges: Ghosts are believed to be those who died untimely deaths or those who died without fulfilling their wishes.
Involvement in the Present World: Ghosts are said to appear to those who caused them regrets or those related to them, and sometimes even haunt them.
Attaining Enlightenment: It is believed that granting a ghost's wishes or resolving their grudges will help them attain enlightenment.
