Now Viewing: hitodamaTag type: General 人魂 A kind of ghost. Hitodama (人魂, "human soul") are believed in Japanese folklore to be the souls of the newly dead taking form as mysterious fiery apparitions. The word hitodama is a combination of the Japanese words hito, meaning "human", and tama (short for tamashii), meaning "soul". These flames supposedly appear as pale blue or sometimes green spheres with long tails, and they are believed to be tricksters originating from fluorescent gases that can sometimes be seen above human graves –similar to will-o'-the-wisp / friar's lantern / ignis fatuus.
