In Japan, there’s a terrifying urban legend about a woman so tall she can be seen from anywhere.
They call her Hachishakusama — which translates to “Eight-Foot Woman.”
Witnesses say she appears in the distance, standing behind walls, trees, or buildings… yet her head still rises above them. The closer she gets, the quieter the strange sound she makes — something not quite human, not quite animal.

• The legend of Hachishakusama
