Noted & saved -- I'm sure it'll come in useful at some point. You might be interested in an Okinawan tradition that's quite similar, about vengeful spirits: the idea that you don't exorcise, you reconcile. When everyone's had their say and things are forgiven, the ghost/spirit may not even leave, but at least it won't be angry any more.

I find that intriguing, a culture that doesn't seek to rid itself of the Other but seeks harmony with it -- as opposed to harmony once it's been kicked out, which is how Anglo/Judeo-xtian mindsets tend to work.
