Buruburu a type of yōkai, or supernatural creature, or ghost that is also known as the spirit of cowardice. They can then infect others with their fear, causing big fear and shivering, and this infection is known as a ghost sickness. The buruburu lurks about in forests and graveyards in the form of a shaking old man or woman, sometimes one-eyed. The buruburu attaches itself to the back of its victim, causing a chill to run up and down the spine.
