Description of Hachishakusama
Hachishakusama appears as a eight-feet tall woman with black hair. She wears a long white dress, a large white hat and either no shoes or sometimes white or black high heels.
Hachishakusama has a deep, masculine voice. She repeats the word “po” over and over again.
Hachishakusama likes to attack children aged between 9 and 11 years old. She will stalk them for days or even months before taking them away from their families and then killing them.
Hachishakusama is said to prefer children as victims as she is able to imitate their parents to lure them into a false sense of security before grabbing them.
How to Escape Hachishakusama
If you have been selected as one of Hachishaku-Sama’s victims all is not lost. According to legend you can get rid of Hachishaku-sama by following an elaborate ritual.
You must stay overnight in a sealed room with salt and a buddha statue. You must ignore all noises and voices and let no one into the room.
After this you must get into an 11-12 seater van with a driver, a holy person who knows a specific chant and 8 close relatives. Once the van begins moving you must keep your head down, eyes closed and hold a special charm. While the van is moving Hachishaku-sama will pound on the van. Once the pounding stops you will be safe.
