BOUND GHOSTS 地縛霊 Chibakurei are the result of unusual deaths (war casualties, violent or accidental deaths, or suicides, for example). Although most of these ghosts are bound to the physical site of their death, some can be attached to objects or buildings. Bound souls can only move in a radius of about fifty meters, and may possess people. Since these ghosts are lonely and tormented for a long time, they try to draw other people into death. For example, reccurent accidents or other mysterious phenomena at the site of a strange death may be caused by these ghosts.
