Japanese Urban Legend: Eight Feet Adult (Part 1)

preface

This one is a story I love

The title was supposed to be "Eight Feet"

様 denotes the meaning of honorific title

So Chinese name I use the eight-foot adult to write

It is expected that the original text will be split into two articles for translation

The main text begins

------------------------------------------------------------------------

My father's hometown was less than a two-hour drive from home.

Although it is a farmhouse, I liked the atmosphere and rode my bike to high school.

So whether it is summer vacation or winter vacation, I often play alone.

Grandpa and Grandma also said "Finally here" to welcome me happily.

However, since the last time I went in my junior year of high school, I haven't been there for ten years.

Definitely not just "didn't go", but became "can't go", why is this so.

When I first entered spring break, the weather was so good that I wanted to ride to my grandfather's house.

Although it was still a little cold, it was very comfortable to sit by the yard, so it was relaxed, and then,

"Waves, waves, waves, waves..."

Strange sounds were heard, not mechanical sounds, but sounds that felt like sounds from people.

Whether it was a dull or semi-voiced sound, it felt like it was both.

When I thought so, I saw a hat on the yard wall.

Instead of placing it on the wall, the hat moves laterally until it reaches the edge of the wall.

There I saw a woman with a hat on the woman's head.

Women wear dresses that resemble white.

But the wall is about two meters high, and how tall is the woman who can emerge from the wall...

While I was surprised, the woman continued to move out of my field of vision and the hat disappeared.

Then, I don't know when the sound of "Bobobo" also disappeared.

At that time, it was only thought that women who were already very tall wore super thick-soled shoes, or women's men who wore high heels.

After that, when I went to the living room for tea, I talked to my grandfather and grandma about what had just happened.

"Just saw a tall woman, is it a woman in women's clothing?"

The only thing that comes back to this is "Hey~"

"Taller than the wall, he wears a hat and makes a strange sound of 'Bobobo'"

At this point, the movements of the two men stopped. No, it stopped very suddenly.

Then, "When to see", "Where to see", "How to be higher than the wall"

Grandpa's expression looked like he was asking questions in anger.

After answering the question in the momentum of Grandpa, Grandpa suddenly walked silently to the telephone in the corridor, who was he going to call.

Because the paper door was closed, I didn't know what I was talking about.

Grandma looked as if she was trembling absently.

Grandpa finished the call and came back to the living room,

"Give me a stay today." No, it's that it doesn't make you go back."

- It seems that something terrible bad has happened.

But no matter how I think about it, I can't think of it, that woman is not what I want to see.

It's in that place.

Then, "Mother-in-law, I'll visit you later, and I'll pick up K Sang."

Leaving these words, Grandpa opened the light card and went out.

I carefully asked Grandma questions.

"You seem to be being watched by an eight-foot adult, Grandpa will do something, so don't worry about anything."

Such a trembling voice answered me.

Before Grandpa returned, Grandma began to tell me the story slowly.

Near here is a plague called the Eight Foot Lord.

The eight-foot adult was a tall woman, eight feet tall like her name.

It will emit a strange laugh like a male voice.

Some people see women in mourning clothes, some people see old women with cuffs longer than their hands.

Elderly people dressed in young costumes and so on.

But all that is common is unusual height for women with a snufficiency laugh.

There used to be a rumor that the travelers came by their own means, but it wasn't certain.

In this area it was sealed by Jizo and did not move out.

If you are targeted by the eight-foot adult, you will be killed within a few days.

The last eight-foot adult victim appeared about fifteen years ago.

Although these are the reasons why the eight-foot adult can't move for some reason than just being sealed by Jizo,

It is on the border of the village that there is a shrine jizo. In order to prevent the movement of the eight-foot adult,

There are four places in the east, west, south, and north of the village border. Why did you let this thing stay in the village,

It seems to be an agreement with the surrounding villages, such as the priority of water conservancy.

In the past ten years, there have been no victims of the eight-foot adult, and the previous people should have thought that a good agreement had been made.

Hearing something like this, it feels unreal, it must be.

At this time, Grandpa returned with an old woman.

"It's become a hard thing, now you take this."

The old woman who called K Sang said so, give me an amulet.

After that, I went to the second floor with my grandfather and was doing something.

Grandma stayed with me like this, and when I went to the bathroom, she didn't let me close the door completely.

Only then did I start to feel " Something didn't seem to be good ..."

After a while I went up to the second floor and went into a room.

The windows there were all covered with newspapers and amulets on them, and salt piles were placed in four corners.

And a box-shaped thing made of wood (which cannot be called an altar) with a small Buddha statue on it.

Again, I prepared two urinal pots that I don't know where I got them, so that I can solve them here...

"Soon it will be dark, listen, you can't come out until dawn tomorrow,

If Grandma and I are calling you, you don't talk back. such

You must not come out until seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and you will come out at seven o'clock. I've already contacted your family."

In the face of Grandpa's serious expression as he spoke, I could only nod my head silently.

"You have good protection now. Never let the amulet leave the body, and pray in front of the Buddha statue if anything happens."

K-Sang said this to me.

I said that I could turn on the light when I said that I could watch TV, but I was also absent-mindedly watching.

When the room was closed, Grandma put rice and snacks in the mood to eat, so she kept the cloth wrapped up in the same state.

In such a state, I don't know when I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I saw that it was a late-night program.

Confirm the watch, it is past one o'clock in the middle of the night.

(I haven't used my phone yet at this time)

Just as I was thinking about how I woke up at such a nasty time, I heard a knocking sound from the glass of the window.

It wasn't the sound of small stones hitting the glass, I think it was the sound of a hand hitting.

There is no way to judge whether it is the wind that has such a sound, or whether it is really someone who is knocking,

I did my best to convince myself that the sound was caused by the wind.

After calming down a little, I took a sip of tea, and sure enough, it was very scary, so I turned the TV sound to the maximum and forced myself to watch.

At that time, Grandpa's voice was heard.

"Hey- no problem?" If you are afraid, don't be strong."

I didn't think much of it and approached the door, but I immediately remembered Grandpa's words.

The voice came again.

"What's the matter, you can come here too."

Although it was very similar to Grandpa's voice, it was not Grandpa's voice.

Although I don't know why this is the case, when I noticed it, I got goosebumps all over my body.

A glance at the corner of the salt pile, from the top began to turn black.
