@lightsword Have you heard the one about the samurai Jin who fought an ogre on a bridge?

@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. The ogre was twenty feet tall, and gnashed so loudly during the night that trees were known to fall over from the sound...

@lightsword Now, Jin was brave, and he thought he was wise, as well. He said to the peasants and to his friends: 'What trouble could such a creature be, if he just gnashes?' And the town logger told the samurai that it was impossible to cross the bridge at night, because the ogre eats anyone who passes. Jin drank up his sake...

@lightsword After hearing about the monster's deeds, Jin prepared to leave. 'I will go and see if this ogre is real,' said he, but one of his comrades interjected, 'How will we know you have been there? You will just hide in the town until morning.' 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.
