Truth Behind There's A Ghost Behind That Gyaru

There's a Ghost Behind That Gyaru is a lovely manga about how an ordinary day for high schooler Hikari Shindou takes a nose dive when she notices a creepy ghost behind her best friend Yuina Kurihara. However, instead of antagonizing the two girls with her unearthly appearance, the ghost seems instead to be interested in befriending the two and enjoys the simpler things of life such as eating melon bread and playing at the arcade. 
Ultimately a wholesome read with lovable characters and a cute art style that subverts expectations. However, one recurrent element that continues to fester the series is the question pertaining to the origins of the titular ghost named Reiko. 
She was discovered at a shrine by Yuina one day, and she was adopted out of the goodness of Yuina's heart. Even then, virtually nothing is known about Reiko. Even her name is just a nickname given to her by Yuina for convenience's sake. Reiko cannot speak, nor can she even remember what her life was like when she was alive. So what could have possibly happened to her to make her forget about her past? 
Reiko was sacrificed. 
Reiko was an orphan girl thousands of years ago. With no parents or family to fall back on, she had to resort to drastic means to avoid starving to death. Hunting, gathering wild nuts and berries, just enough to keep her body running. But her luck would change once she encountered the shrine. 
The priests of the shrine worshiped an evil god who demanded blood sacrifices in return for its services. Poor Reiko was unfortunately the perfect sacrificial lamb. 
Instead of sacrificing her on an alter or slitting her throat, they had more cruel mechanisms. Reiko's wrists were tightly bound behind a tree with her lower body held back by chains. She plead for mercy, but her cries would go unheard. 
It was a harsh winter that year. With the little rags that made up her body, Reiko remained there for a few days. Days turned into weeks; weeks into months. Yet her suffering never ended. 
Her body, aching with the cold, turned blue with Reiko suffering from symptoms of hypothermia with her blood turning pale and chilled. Permafrost formed at the tips of her fingers, nose, and eyes. Blizzards enveloped the hapless girl in more layers of snow entombing her. 
Ever since that day, Reiko's soul could never sense peace. Because of the trauma stemming from her prolonged end, Reiko had internally forgot all about her past shutting the door on the real world. Nevertheless, she still sensed lingering despair deep within her undead heart which would elicit tears. It would also explain why Reiko is always hungry as it subconsciously remembers her time foraging for food. During the winter, even when she is a fully noncorporal being, she can still feel great cold. It was during the worst day of her life that she was frozen to death.
