As a ghost, Reimi haunts Ghost Girl's Alley, a hidden street that can be considered a kind of purgatory, where souls that have not yet moved on or found peace reside.

Kaonashi, who appears in the 2001 film SPIRITED AWAY, is a unique figure with a quite striking appearance. Its body is semi-transparent, allowing us to see the organs that are still actively pulsing.

Gin is a character in the anime HOTARUBI NO MORI E. Gin has an appearance similar to a ghost! But he is not a spirit.

However, there is a condition: he must not touch humans.

Mei Misaki, who is the main character in the psychological horror anime ANOTHER (2012), is often depicted as a ghost.

Although she has passed away, for some unknown reason, she continues to appear in class, but is not seen by most people. Is this what is meant by being visible only to the sixth sense?~
