Did you know? On deserted streets late at night, you might occasionally see a tall man in a white suit and white top hat. No one knows where he came from or how long he has existed. He makes no sound as he walks. The only thing you can hear is his cane gently tapping the ground. “Tap... tap...” They say that if you hear that sound, he is already nearby. But he never approaches on his own; he simply stands in the distance and watches in silence. Until... he finds the person he has been waiting for.
“Don’t be afraid to look back.” “Because the one standing behind you... has always been me.” Hachishakusama Classification: Apparition. Danger Level: Unknown. Time of appearance: Dusk to late night. Traits: Wears a pure white suit and white top hat, and carries a black cane. Abnormally tall. Makes no footsteps; when he approaches, the sound of his cane striking the ground—“Tap... tap...” —can be heard. Known Rules: ① Don’t make eye contact with him for too long. ② Don’t answer when he calls to you. ③ If you’ve been able to see him since childhood, it means he’s been watching you for a long time. Hachishakusama (Hachishaku-sama) It first appeared in 2008 in a ghost-story discussion thread on Japan’s anonymous forum 2channel (now 5channel). The legend is usually told as the story of a woman. She is said to be abnormally tall, often dressed in white and wearing a white hat, and is known for her low, resonant “po-po-po...” laugh.
The first installment of the Cool Summer Series. He has no name, but you can give him a nickname. He’s about 8 feet 2 inches tall, but usually adjusts his height to around 6 feet 3 inches so you won’t be afraid. Apparently, his height isn’t the only thing he can make bigger or smaller.
