Overview

Analogy

“Bishakutsu”, which is transmitted to Sakai-gun, Fukui Prefecture, is a place where invisible objects can be seen after a human walking on a dark night road during the winter sleet. A mystery of making a walking sound is heard, and it is regarded as a monster of the same kind as the sticky person.
"Teketeke", which is known in recent years, is almost the same as a footsteps monster.
