Classic Japanese ghost stories

This week i have read a few of the Classic Japanese Horror Stories and in fact they are pretty good I must say.
The first one I read is called a Dead Secret and it was basically about this lady who's name is O-Sono and her father sent her to a school where they would teach her proper accomplishments and then she ended up getting married to a merchant named Naragarya and they got married and had a son.. but after four years O-Sono died but after a few days she came back and haunted the house she lived in but she wasen't looking to scare anybody she wanted something so she stood by this chest and and nobody could figure out wat she wanted so this priest came and watched and listened to her and it ended up being a letter in the bottom of the chest that someone who loved her wrote a long time ago and she didn't want her husband to find out so the priest burned it and then O-Sono was laid to rest and never came back to.
The second one I read is called Of Mirror and Bell and this one is about a priest who wanted to build a bell for there temple so he went out searching for bronze mirrors and he got an assortment of them, but he still needed one more so he went to a young woman's house and asked her if she had a bronze mirror and she did and she gave it to him but after she donated it the priest she realized that it had been a family heirloom and she wanted it back but she couldn't get it back after she already gave it up so she let it go.... so finally the people melted all of the bronze mirrors but one would not burn and that just so happened to be the womans and of course everyone new if a mirror could not be melted that it ment they really didn't want to give it away and they were cold hearted.... soon the woman was so ashamed that she killed her self by drowing in a pond she put alittle curse on the bronze but the town didn't think anything would happen so they kept ringing the bell day after day nothing happened, but the priest became scared and took down the bell and rolled it into the muddy pond.
