Yokai, also known as bakemono, are any of a large range of unusual supernatural critters. Not all are dangerous, some are just strange and all are uncanny. There is almost no information available in English on yokai so my entries are few and often short.
However this week I have three more to add with others coming soon.
Hanako-san
Suna-kake-baba (sand throwing old woman)
tsukumogami (spirit of a made object)
If you are interested in yokai I highly recommend the movie The Great Yokai War.
