Nowadays most people are educated with a special focus on science and rationalism; this means that for almost all of us supernatural phenomena simply do not exist. Anyway, in the old times, inexplicable events were explained using faith and folklore knowledge. Especially in Japan; these kinds of perspectives gave birth to what we call Yokai and the subsequent Yokai Culture which is now very popular.
Known also the “other Japanese culture”, “folklore of the strange” or “spiritual culture of darkness”; pioneers of this field of study are Noboru Miyata & Kunio Yanagita who wrote many important opuses on popular religion native folklore. In fact, since the Edo period publishers release regularly anthologies of ghost stories (Kaidan or Kwaidan) that are read by several thousand people all across the country.

Following a didactical moral message based on the Buddhistic karma system. All these stories see vengeful ghosts torment the livings until a hero; normally a samurai or a sōhei (warrior monk), fight them to eradicate their evil influence in our world.
Among the centuries, a lot of books, anime, movies, and video games exploited these scaring entities to offer a good amount of healthy fear. GeGeGe no Kitaro, The Great Yokai War, and Kuon are the greatest examples of opuses focused on supernatural beings that revamped the Yokai Culture to young generations.
