Korean virgin ghost
Korean virgin ghosts are vengeful spirits that haunt abandoned buildings such as hospitals, schools, bathrooms, cemeteries, lakes, dark country roads, and wooded areas. They are active from midnight until dawn and appear with long hair covering their faces, sullen features, and dressed in white. They haunt with anger and revenge against those who caused them harm, particularly targeting newly married couples, and are believed to bring illnesses and accidents.
