Russian fireball 

During heavy winds, this Russian hitodama (a fiery apparition composed of spirits of the recently departed) could be heard to say, “Oroshiya, oroshiya” (“Let me down”). There is some speculation that the author dreamed up the creature based on a play on words, as “oroshiya” sounds like the old Japanese pronunciation of “Russia.”

Man with snakes in his legs

The illustration shows a middle-aged traveling monk from Nagano prefecture who would bathe in hot springs without removing his leggings. If anyone asked him why he did not fully undress before entering the water, he would show them the holes in his shins, which contained snakes. The man was born with snakes in his legs as punishment for misdeeds in a previous life.

This Man

bestinha, mas relevante o bastante:

In January 2006 in New York, the patient of a well-known psychiatrist draws the face of a man that has been repeatedly appearing in her dreams. In more than one occasion that man has given her advice on her private life. The woman swears she has never met the man in her life.

That portrait lies forgotten on the psychiatrist’s desk for a few days until one day another patient recognizes that face and says that the man has often visited him in his dreams. He also claims he has never seen that man in his waking life.

The psychiatrist decides to send the portrait to some of his colleagues that have patients with recurrent dreams. Within a few months, four patients recognize the man as a frequent presence in their own dreams. All the patients refer to him as THIS MAN.
