#1 Virgin Ghost
The name tells you that this is a young female ghost who has not yet broken her virginity and died with hate.

Virgin ghosts hate to see a couple step into the wedding hall and see others with red eyes, so they all appear in the image of blood-stained white clothes and messy hair and then endanger the newlyweds. Of course, folklore has it that if a virgin ghost can marry a virgin man in meditation, this will allow them to reincarnate early.

She saw her husband talking to himself in the air, and the wife thought it was strange that there was no one in sight, so who was her husband talking to and greeting with a smile on his face? When they got home, they had a fight about it because the husband thought it was appropriate to greet the neighbors in the same apartment, No. 1301, with a polite greeting. However, the wife insisted that she had not seen anyone and that it should be the husband’s stupidity and poor mental state early in the morning, resulting in a fight and then each going to work.
