Goryō are vengeful Japanese ghosts from the aristocratic classes, especially those who have been martyred.

The name consists of two kanji, 御 (go) meaning honorable and 霊 (ryō) meaning soul or spirit.

Arising mainly in the Heian period, the belief was that "the spirits of powerful lords who had been wronged were capable of catastrophic vengeance, including destruction of crops and the summoning of a typhoon or an earthquake".

According to tradition, the only way to "quell the wrath of a goryō" was with the help of a yamabushi, who could "perform the necessary rites that would tame the spirit".

In Japanese mythology, a goryō is a vengeful ghost, usually that of an aristocrat or martyr. These spirits are incredibly powerful, wreaking terrible vengeance for a wrong done to them in life. They can cause severe damage, including blighting crops and causing earthquakes.

Despite their power, these ghosts can be quelled by a yamabushi, who can perform a rite that will tame the spirit.
