About
Hachishakusama ("Eight Feet Tall") is a modern Japanese urban legend about a malevolent, ~8-foot-tall spirit in a white dress and sun hat who targets and kidnaps children. She makes a distinct "Po… po… po…" sound in a deep voice, can mimic loved ones' voices to trap victims, and is notoriously hard to escape once targeted. Appearance: A towering woman, roughly 8 feet tall (eight shaku), often wearing a white summer dress and a wide-brimmed hat that conceals her face. Some accounts describe her as a haggard old woman in a kimono or a young woman in a white funeral shroud. Sound: She makes a rhythmic, deep, male-sounding voice saying "Po… po… po…". Abilities: She possesses shapeshifting abilities, allowing her to impersonate family members to lure victims. She can teleport and induces intense fear. Targets: She specifically haunts children, with victims often dying or disappearing within a few days of seeing her.
