So without further delay let's get started~~

“Hachishakusama” is one of the popular blood-curdling urban legends of Japan. From 1990 to 2000, more than 10,000 children had gone missing in Japan. It is said that on an average 1000 children every year disappeared. Earlier when more and more children gone missing, people thought that maybe this is a case of child trafficking gang or it is the work of a child trafficker. Even thou many criminals got arrested then also there's no evidence of kidnapping.And the situation was getting worse and worse. Then everyone came to know the truth when many people saw “Her ” at that time they understood why all these activities are happening?

In Japan Hachishaku-sama means eight feet tall. So, The Eight Feet Tall is a tale of tall eerie-looking woman who only abducts children. It also informally called as Hasshaku-sama, a Japanese spirit (Yokai) that takes the form of an impossibly tall pale looking female ghost often said to make creepy sound like “PO…PO…PO…PO…PO…” repeatedly in the same strange manner. This strange and unusual sound that informs the people that eight feet is near or around them.

She was not an ordinary woman but an evil spirit who terrorize children. In fact she is considered to be such an urban legend who loves kids so much that wherever she sees children, she follow them and unfortunately if she likes that child then they will disappear from there place within few days or in worst cases within one or six hours. She had a habit of preying on children, usually one who are under six to nine years old.

The Eight foot tall can vary from a withered hag (akin to a beldam) or an attractive woman, yet it always appear as inhumane in terms of its height. While her appearance varies between accounts, most eyewitnesses have stated that she dressed in a white summer dress and wear a wide-brimmed hat, who is eight foot tall with completely white eyes. It seemed as if there were no eye balls inside her. And that blood-curdling sound she makes “PO…PO…PO…PO” everytime it comes near her prey.

This is also said that Hachishakusama only attacks children and does not bother with adult prey. This is said to be due to the fact children are still dependent on older family members, which she can mimic in order to lure her victims away and then kill them.

There's not much information on how she became a Hachishaku-sama. However, what is known is that she is a Yokai (Japanese evil spirit) who kidnaps children and takes them to her world forever. She is known for stalking her victims from afar while creating creepy sound like "Po… Po… Po… Po… Po…” and nothing could stand in the way of her prey. The spirit can transform into different family members to lure the child away from their family, ot only she could transform her appearance but also could drastically change her voice and mimic the most beloved ones of her prey. Her legend has been famous around since 2008. And her appearance is also similar to the Japanese urban legend, "The Ring" and "The Grudge”.

But What happened with the victims? Did she took all of them with her? Or Did they successfully escape from Her?

Wait for the next chapter to know more 😉
