Sunken Woman, or The Drowned Woman in Fatal Frame: Deep Crimson Butterfly, haunts the Whisper Bridge which leads to the Kurosawa House. Long before Mio and Mayu became trapped in the Lost Village, she became lost in the forest and eventually wandered into the village. She died by drowning, caught by the arms of the dead, long ago. She was pulled into the icy cold lake and couldn't swim to the surface. The manner she was pulled into the water is probably connected with the hole in the broken bridge, where taking a photograph will reveal her lifeless face.

In Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake, Sunken Woman is given a little more backstory in two new notes: Wet Memo and Drenched Memo. These state that she went into the mountains to end her own life, but found the village instead. While searching for a way out, she entered the water at Ukishima and was drowned. She is the only spirited away other than Mio to mention seeing Yae's spirit at the village boundary, and her idea to float downstream in the river is reminiscent of an impulse that Yae mentions in Butterfly Diary 8.

Misc. Info

• You may confront Sunken Woman twice on Whisper Bridge. The bubbling of the water can be heard during both occasions.
• There are no mandatory encounters with this ghost - if the picture of her stationary ghost is not taken she will not attack, and all other encounters with her are random.
• The Japanese version of the ghost list mentions Sunken Woman's origins, and that she was in fact a Spirited Away who became trapped in the village long before Mio and Mayu, explaining her attire. The localised versions of the original Fatal Frame II omitted this fact.
• In the Fatal Frame: Deep Crimson Butterfly she can make water drip down the player's viewfinder while fighting her.
