Kitaro receives a request from a photographer named Kunou who says he's being haunted by a ghost. That night, Kitaro accompanies him to where he's supposed to meet someone, and the ghost of a woman swoops down on Kunou. Kitaro dodges the attack and sees that the ghost is a youkai that attached itself to a corpse, a mouryou. When he asks if the Kunou knew the woman whose corpse the mouryou has possessed, Kunou shakes his head in denial. Suspicious of his reaction, Kitaro searches for the truth, heading to Mukuromura where the mouryou lives. Who was the dead woman? And why is the mouryou attacking Kunou?!
Dad, I've heard
that beast-like scream before.
أبي، سمعت هذا الصراخ الذي
.يشابه صراخ الوحوش من قبل
Papa, diesen bestienartigen Schrei
erkenne ich wieder …
Papá, ese rugido feral 
me suena de algo.
Papá, ese rugido bestial
me suena de algo.
Papa, j’ai déjà entendu
ce cri bestial par le passé.
Padre, ricordo di aver già sentito
 l'urlo bestiale di poco fa.
Pai, eu ouvi um grito que
parecia de um animal.
Папа, я уже слышал крик,
похожий на зверя.
