A to Z "Spooky" Quick Tok 69 | Hachishakusama

Certainly, here's the legend of the Hachishakusama in the first person:It was a quiet summer day in my small Japanese village. The sun was shining brightly, and I was playing with my friends near the rice fields. We were carefree children, laughing and enjoying the warm weather. Little did I know that this day would be the beginning of a terrifying encounter with the Hachishakusama.As we played, an unfamiliar old woman approached us. She had a gentle smile on her face and appeared harmless. Her traditional white kimono and her seemingly frail demeanor made her look like any other elderly lady you might meet in the countryside. I noticed her peculiarly narrow face, but I didn't think much of it at the time.The old woman spoke to us kindly and asked about our ages. My friends and I were giggling and showing off, so I thought it would be fun to make myself seem a little older. When she inquired about my age, I said I was eight years old, even though I was actually younger. I thought it was a harmless fib to impress my friends.The old woman nodded and walked away, disappearing into the distance. We continued playing, and the day turned into evening. That's when my carefree world began to crumble.As night fell, I was in my room, lying in bed. Suddenly, I heard a soft, eerie whisper outside my window. It sounded like a haunting chant, and the words sent shivers down my spine. Then, I saw her — the old woman from earlier in the day. But she was different now, and it was a terrifying sight.Her once gentle smile had twisted into a malevolent grin. Her legs were impossibly long, stretching out like serpents, reaching for my window. The realization hit me like a tidal wave – this was the Hachishakusama, the Eight Feet Tall Woman.She began counting in a chilling voice, "One... two... three..." Panic surged through me. I knew what would happen if she reached eight. I screamed for my parents, but the words got stuck in my throat. The Hachishakusama's eerie chant continued.I don't remember much of what happened next. All I know is that my parents rushed into the room, and the room was filled with screams and chaos. The Hachishakusama, the Eight Feet Tall Woman, had disappeared. I was safe, but the memory of that night haunts me to this day.From that moment on, I learned never to lie to strangers, especially about my age, and to be cautious of those who seemed too good to be true. The legend of the Hachishakusama serves as a constant reminder of that fateful encounter and the fear that still lingers in my heart.Check out The Jack & 'Chill Podcast here!http://atozenglishpodcast.com/episodeshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jack-chill-podcast/id1709902691https://redcircle.com/shows/the-jack-and-chill-podcastPodcast Website:https://atozenglishpodcast.com/a-to-z-spooky-quick-tok-69-hachishakusama/Social Media:Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/671098974684413/Tik Tok:@atozenglish1Instagram:@atozenglish22Twitter:@atozenglish22A to Z Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/theatozenglishpodcastCheck out our You Tube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCds7JR-5dbarBfas4Ve4h8ADonate to the show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/9472af5c-8580-45e1-b0dd-ff211db08a90/donationsRobin and Jack started a new You Tube channel called English Word Master.
