Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things (often abbreviated to Kwaidan) is a book by Lafcadio Hearn that features several Japanese ghost stories and a brief study on insects. It was later used as the basis for a movie called Kwaidan by Masaki Kobayashi in 1965.
Kwaidan, or kaidan in more modern romanizations, is Japanese for "ghost story".
