I ❤️ that so many of the topics are applicable to my favorite story.
So on the topic of I'll have to reiterate The Grudge/ Ju-on wherein a wife and child are murdered and return from the grave to wreak havoc on not only their murderer but anyone who enters the house and then anyone connected to anyone who enters the house. The Grudge... it's the revenge story that keeps on giving!!! ❤️💢😡👻

Strange lights can sometimes be spotted in the German countryside at night.

Ghosts can be difficult to dislodge. In this particular case, 16 horses were needed to drag the ghost away.

In the deep winter, and the dead of the night, the ghosts hold their own masses. And the unfortunate among the living can stumble into them, if they go to church at the wrong time...
