Most Japanese short ghost stories are deeply influenced by Japanese culture and traditions. For example, the settings are often traditional Japanese houses, temples or forests. The ghosts themselves may be based on Japanese superstitions such as spirits of the dead not being at peace. They also tend to be quite atmospheric, using descriptions of the environment to create a spooky mood. For instance, a dark and stormy night in an old, dilapidated mansion can be a common setting. These stories also sometimes carry moral lessons, like the consequences of greed or betrayal.
