  • Ayakashi (アヤカシ) is the collective name for yōkai that appear above the surface of a body of water. In Nagasaki Prefecture, the atmospheric ghost lights that appear above water are called ayakashi, and so are the funayūrei in Yamaguchi Prefecture and Saga Prefecture. In western Japan, ayakashi are said to be the vengeful spirits of those who died at sea and that they are attempting to capture more people to join them. On Tsushima Island, they are also called "atmospheric ghost lights of ayakashi (ayakashi no kaika)", and appear on beaches in the evening, and are said to look like a child walking in the middle of a fire. In coastal Japan, atmospheric ghost lights appear as mountains and obstruct one's path, and are said to disappear if one does not avoid the mountain and tries to bump into it intently. There is also the folk belief that if a live sharksucker were to get stuck to the bottom of a boat, it would not be able to move, so ayakashi is used as a synonym for this type of fish. In the Konjaku Hyakki Shūi by Sekien Toriyama, the ayakashi are represented by a large sea snake, but this may actually be an ikuchi. (en)

Pueden ser expulsados y aniquilados por los dioses y sus shinki. En condiciones normales, los humanos no pueden verlos.estos seres son almas o espíritus que han muerto y sus almas buscan un cuerpo.

  • アヤカシは、日本における海上の妖怪や怪異の総称。 長崎県では海上に現れる怪火をこう呼び、山口県や佐賀県では船を沈める船幽霊をこう呼ぶ。西国の海では、海で死んだ者が仲間を捕えるために現れるものだという。 対馬では「アヤカシの怪火」ともいって、夕暮れに海岸に現れ、火の中に子供が歩いているように見えるという。沖合いでは怪火が山に化けて船の行く手を妨げるといい、山を避けずに思い切ってぶつかると消えてしまうといわれる。 また、実在の魚であるコバンザメが船底に貼り付くと船が動かなくなるとの俗信から、コバンザメもまたアヤカシの異称で呼ばれた。 鳥山石燕は『今昔百鬼拾遺』で「あやかし」の名で巨大な海蛇を描いているが、これはイクチのこととされている。 (ja)
