Shito Dama

Shito Dama was the Rokugani word for the will o'wisps, vengeful ghsots which appeared as balls of fire who had lost their way to Yomi. Shito Dama endlessly wandered, killing victims so the soul of deceased could follow them to the River of Stars.

Luring victims
They called out in familiar voices, then drifted off in the hopes of luring them off a cliff or similar deadly end. Cunning Shito Dama tricked the living into believing they were the spirit of a relative or lover, then convinced them to commit seppuku.

Showing the way
The best was to ignore their calling. Shugenja simply prayed for them, and some shugenja tried to guide them to Yomi, though this was often fruitless.
