That's why I can't stand weeaboos, they have zero clue about Japanese culture inspite of proclaiming to be it's lovers.

This literally follows every urban legend ghost story modelled after the Slit mouthed woman story. Yes, there are vengeful spirits in Japanese folklore and mythology, but there are about a million other types of Yokai you could pin as "Ghostly things" in Japanese tradition to.

On top of the ghost type creatures, Japanese folklore has so many monsters and legendary beings that could be used in a fantastic or a horror setting. Any number of Oni would do that, all of their location related monsters, but y'all seem to be stuck on the same "female got killed, now she wreaks havoc on Japanese people through some ritualistic russian roulette style murder game"

It's not scary, unless, well, you give out some chilly detail like an actual, first person encounter with the thing. One that would include a chilling setting and encounter. More than "I met a ghost and we played a game for my life."
