I'm beginning to sense a trend as I watch these:
Arang starts with schoolgirls fearing ghosts and perverts, and eventually the story involves both.
In The Ghost, aka Dead Friend (with any luck, tomorrow's review), the action begins with a teenage séance and a sentence that explains much of the movie (er, spoiler?).
Both Ringu and its American remake kick off with the legend of the videotape as told by kids.
In other words, I think I've finally found the explanation for the title cards at the start of The Heirloom: no matter how steeped in local lore you are, it's hard to have people naturally expositing about fetus ghosts.
