@lightsword It is not a very ghosty story, but there is a twist near the end with Jin's old babysitter. It begins with Jin coming with his samurai friends to the tea house of a country town...

@lightsword And the samurai friends were having their bowls of tea and sake, until they heard a band of peasants in the corner, talking about an ogre who lived under the nearby bridge.

To prove that he had really gone to brave the ogre, he took signatures of all his friends on a slip of paper, which he would leave at the bridge.

@lightsword I will tell you the rest of the story another time.
