Ooh, I like this one. It has the kind of gothic romance all good ghost stories should have :-)

You're totally right. You could make a compelling period horror story with this legend as the source material informing the plot.

How about Sugisawa Village or the Ghost Bus of Highway 93 for an urban legend? Sugisawa supposedly was scrubbed from all maps in Japan and may or may not be haunted, and the ghost bus is said to deposit additional...'passengers' in your car on that highway.

Both legends sound fascinating. They'll definitely be popping up in a future edition of Folklore Friday.
