Japanese scary ghost stories and folklore

Years ago in Japan, there was a tradition where people would gather in a room and light 100 candles. Then they would start telling scary tales and ghost stories.

At the end of the final ghostly story, the room would be in complete darkness. So lets light a few candles and read on.
