Excerpts: 

"We began to hear the sound of someone moving around upstairs when there was no one there. The sound of walking and furniture being moved."

"My body, arms, and legs couldn't move! And I couldn't breathe! And I had no voice to speak!"

"A Zahiki-Warashi is a ghost that looks like a young child and inhabits your house. If you treat it kindly, it will bring good fortune to you and your household."
