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?!
Her soul was released by the Moryo
and she became a corpse again.
حُرِّرت روحها من قِبل موريو
.وأصبحت جثة ثانية
Der Mōryō hat ihre Seele gehen lassen
und sie ist wieder zur Leiche geworden.
Moryo liberó el alma, que regresó 
al cuerpo al que pertenecía.
Son âme délivrée de l’emprise de l’Esprit,
elle est redevenue un cadavre.
La sua anima 
è stata liberata da Mōryō
A alma dela foi liberada pelo Moryo
e ela voltou a ser um cadáver.
