Japanese ghost story

Here's an idea for a J-horror ghost story. I was reading about long GOP compression, the type of compression used by HDV format. This type of compression works by taking one keyframe and basing the subsequent frames on that frame, filling in and interpolating the rest. If the source I was reading was right (I think it was in Barry Braverman's book), software is making intelligent guesses about what will come up in the next frame, predictive interpolation. In a sense, it's making up what's not there. That's where the ghost would appear, in the predictive frame. Then there would be puppets.
