I really do love these ghost stories, horror is by far my favorite genre and Stan does it very well. He excels at creating a mood that contrasts the every day and the eerie which really draws you in.
What really made me smile here was the candle flashlight, I never really thought about how you could do that before now.

Another horror story of misconstrued love where the bonds forged in life and love continue beyond the realms of death and honor. How true that the village cannot understand that the flute playing ghost is NOT the real monster in believing the flutes tones marks another death where as instead the flute playing is an actual warning of impending horror. It all depends on the viewpoint. What a truly vile creature the wife was in life with her desires and killing and then continuing to even more hideous killings as she becomes the physical monstrous reflection of her inner soul...
