This legend is about the marine ghosts or lost spirits of those who die in the ship-wrecks. These bitter souls are believed to rise from the depths of the sea to take the lives of sailors and fishermen. Funayurei are believed to attack boats and ships by distracting them into the deep sea or transforming into another ship. All the victims that are killed by Funayurei are believed to become one of them who continue the hauntings in the sea.
