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

Some of them are friendly, and some of them are... not.

EDIT: Whoops, wrong image!

A mother's love can transcend even death.

Many ghosts need to be blessed by the living in order to pass on.

...a little deception to get that blessing isn't actually discouraged.

Stealing from the dead is generally considered to be unwise.

Especially if you've seen the dead person in question wandering around.

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!!! ❤️💢😡👻

A long time ago, a particularly nasty ghost was banished to a forest to the west of Weißenhorn.

These days, the forest has been partially converted into an industrial park.

Exorcists have a bad habit of dumping malevolent spirits at the nearest convenient hill, swamp, or forest - without considering that other people might want to use those places, too.
