I want to meet up with a real ghost - I got some questions for him/her.
My brother works at an area well known for ghost sightings. The place rents
out storage lockers. He said he saw the famous spirit while he was up on a
ladder changing light bulbs. The lockers are open on the top and he saw a
woman with long hair slowly rise, look around, and then slowly descend all
floaty like. My brother assumed it was a ghost but my guess is that there's
someone living in those storage lockers rather than a mujina.

=====================
You could be right. I have never seen a badger with long floaty hair ...
