船幽霊（ふなゆうれい）
A ruined boat draws alongside at night and its crew asks for a scoop. Give them an ordinary one, and they may use it to fill your boat with seawater.

山姥（やまうば）
A man carries a woven object home from the hills, and that night a woman's voice demands the return of her ashinaka.

犬神（いぬがみ）
A possessing spirit of western Japan with no agreed-upon body — and a label that excluded entire households from marriage and community life.
Postwar studies of inugami lineages
山彦（やまびこ）
The echo in a Japanese valley was heard as an answer before anyone drew the thing answering — and when painters finally gave it a body, they produced a small animal that is neither quite a dog nor quite a monkey.
Terrible voice heard suddenly in the deep mountains, day or night
七人ミサキ（しちにんみさき）
In a tale told in Sukumo, Kōchi, seven women fleeing a political upheaval were caught at the border and put to death beneath an old cherry tree. Seven figures in white appeared there until the people began holding memorial rites.

茶袋（ちゃぶくろ）
A tea-steeping bag that hangs in the air on eerie stretches of road in the Hata district of Kōchi, recorded in 1938, with illness blamed on anyone it strikes; related bags hang from trees in Kagawa and float on rivers in Wakayama.
A tea bag hangs down where the road is eerie; whoever is struck by it falls ill
A chabukuro hung at a grave called the old woman's grave
