https://kyotojournal.org/conversations/mizuki-shigeru-giving-form-to-kehai/ Mizuki Shigeru: Kehai always predicates the appearance of a ghost or specter. One kind of ghost is a buruburu (literally: the shivers). When you go to a cemetery for example, it’s the job of the buruburu to make the back of your neck feel cold. In a graveyard when you feel the kehai of something unexplainable about to make its appearance that’s when the buruburu shows up. We sense kehai with buruburu leading the way. A ghost doesn’t just all of a sudden appear out of nowhere; they are of necessity, always announced prior to their actual appearance by a sensation of kehai or something eerie. In other words, without the feeling of fear no ghost will make its presence known. Even as the object of the fear is vague and inexplicable you feel afraid. Kehai does not involve being taken by surprise. To be startled is an entirely different experience. Kehai concerns the state of affairs that precede an event. https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/the-meaning-of/japanese-word-ac41156f6758e06cd6d1eb012f9518ee3e2a42c8.html https://www.tanoshiijapanese.com/dictionary/entry_comments.cfm?entry_id=21097 https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%82%AA%E6%B0%97#Japanese https://www.isobelknowles.com/movies/kehai/index.html
