Ha! The old Chinese ghost! This green entity is found in China and makes frequent appearances in comics, books and movies. If it's a female, she would be dressed in a white gown that even covers her hands... and yes, she's often beautiful!
Very often, the man who encounters such a forlorn spirit, falls in love, suffers deadly sickness but then miraculously survives the ordeal with a remarkably happy ending!
I guess the universal theme is Love conquers all.
