If you hear strange laughter outside your door at night, be careful, because I’ll do whatever it takes to get close to you, whether it’s day or night. Hello. I am hachishikazama, which means 8 foot tall woman. Because I stand about 8 feet tall, I’m one of the most terrifying legends in Japanese folklore. Once you become my target, you’ll hear a frightening sound day or night. I’ll mimic the voices of your loved ones, trying to lure you out of your safe zone. If I catch you, you’ll mysteriously disappear within a short time, with almost no chance of survival. If you want to stop me, sprinkle a circle of salt around your house. If you find the salt has turned black the next day, it means I won’t let you go. But if the salt remains unchanged, it means I’ve spared you.
