Ghost

Ghosts (幽霊 Yūrei, 死人 Shinin or Shibito) are spirits of the dead, such as humans and animals, and have many subcategories. 
In Japan, Yūrei refers to spirits who either do not or can not ascend to the other worlds after their death. Often times, ghosts are accompanied by several Hitodama. There are a variety of subtypes, ranging from dead spirits (死霊 Shiryō), ruined or departed spirits (亡霊 Bōrei), vengeful spirits (怨霊 Onryō) and evil spirits (悪霊 Akuryō).

In the manga, they overwhelmed Yōkai due to their natures, but became helpless and dragged back to the other world when the sealing statue was put back thanks to Gyūki.
Intangibility: A common trait among ghosts is their intangibility, being able to pass through walls. In the manga, this also makes physical attacks useless, and can instantly reform even when hit by elemental attacks.
