Some friends and I visited Kyoto last summer and decided to go to Arashiyama bamboo forest at around 10-11 pm to avoid the crowds. While entering, we passed an Australian couple who warned of a strange woman walking around without a light and that they were freaked out. We had thought they were messing with us until we were deeper into the forest and there were no lights illuminating the path besides our phones. Our group had stopped to look at our phones to see when the trains stop running and when we looked up, a woman was walking towards us. She had long black hair, a white nightgown, and long black hair, and no light. It scared the shit out of us and we ended up running all the way back to the entrance. I really don't believe in ghosts, but I wanted to make a post somewhere asking if anyone has experienced anything like this? Is it possible that locals get a kick out of scaring tourists, or maybe it was part of a ghost group tour that we were not a part of and we accidently ran into her? She greatly resembled the appearance of a yurei
