If you hear three deep, bumping sounds, you are warned that Hachishakusama is coming for you. This eight foot tall woman has been compared to the Creepypasta legend Slender Man, due to her penchant for abducting children, but I think she may even be a lot creepier than the infamous tall guy in the nice suit. Her horror roots are firmly planted in the realm of J-horror, and as such, Hachishakusama lives in the realm of curses and psychological torture; her appearance means a three-day limit on your life, much like Sadako's 7 day curse. She is usually drawn with a white dress and long black hair that covers her face, further cementing the Sadako comparison. Where she differs though is her abnormal height, towering over her victims and usually appearing out of place in small rural villages of Japan. This sense of misplacement can make her victims feel insignificant and powerless even before her curse settles into the dark recesses of the mind. Hachishakusama's unique calling card, a deep voice that goes "Po, po, po" like deep thudding sounds, can also be quite haunting. Overall, a fun urban legend that may have you jumping at any similar sounds late at night.
