By the seventh day, word had spread around town about the haunting at the Ino household. Some of Heitaro’s warrior friends came over to see if they could help slay the yokai.
That day there was a giant monk rampaging about in Heitaro’s yard. Gonpachi stabbed at the giant with his spear. But the giant grabbed the spear and hurled it into Heitaro’s house! After that, the spear began flying around the house on its own, stabbing and slashing at everyone inside.
This was too much for Heitaro’s friends. They panicked, and they all ran home.
Never anger a yokai, it could be a friendly one, as the tale just said and a lot of people got slaughtered.
HAH! Now that’s more like it! Everything before was weird, and creepy… now comes the danger! But Terror! Horror! That’s what makes a good ghost story! An interesting assortment of youkai, most hauntings have one or two.
Put in more detail and you could make a book about this.
Yes, it seems like the ghost side is beginning to get more serious! 🙂
