Can't believe Tara's been doing this for close to 7 years now. It's a milestone. Her consistency surely is admirable

And that's why you should never rely on other people in potentially dangerous situations, be they friends, relatives etc. They will live the life full of regret (or partially filled with it) and you'll be dead.

so that last story, the relatives, did they set up their grandchildren to deal with the ..spirit or whatever she was?

[ceewood]

Clearly, in that last one, they were Cursed--why didn't they go get a blessing, or the Japanese version of an exorcism/deliverance ceremony to get rid of the attachment?

4th story, he saw a youkai! And the monk Miroku tried to bless the place

As someone from Malaysia, family spirits are common ages ago...now this is where it gets frustrating. Sometimes even without the owner consent, or death, the spirits would took a liking to the next people they desire, and latch on to that person. Some people's ancestors never thought about consequences I guess. It was usually a guardian pact, but these spirits are unpredictable at times.
