As the Virgin Ghosts are not married, they do not have the right to tie up their long hair like a married woman could. It is believed they were not properly taken care of. The Sobek also symbolizes the fact that their bodies were not protected by their non-existent husbands. In ancient Korean times, it was a disgrace if women died without fulfilling their purpose (Serving their husbands, fathers, and children). Legend has it that once these single women are dead, their vengeful and bitter spirits would be cursed and stuck wandering on earth, haunting their own family for eternity. These Virgin ghosts also mess with couples, especially the newly weds as they want the marriage to fail-like their own love life and how their mission of getting married was never fulfilled.
