Tanukitsuki (狸憑き (たぬきつき) or 狸憑; lit. "Tanuki possession") is the possession of a human by the spirit of a tanuki (Japanese raccoon dog). In ancient Japanese shamanism, it is a type of psychic phenomenon considered to exist.

While widely transmitted in Shikoku and Sado Island, many legends also exist in Aomori Prefecture, Iwate Prefecture, and Okayama Prefecture, with folklore found throughout Japan. It is also known as mujina (ムジナ), mamedanuki (豆狸), and tomakko (トマッコ).

Spirit (supernatural entity)
In folklore and ethnography, a spirit is an "immaterial being", "supernatural agent", the "soul of a  person", an "invisible entity", or the "soul of a seriously suffering person". Often spirits have an intermediate status between gods and humans, sharing some properties with gods (Incorporeality, greater powers) and some with humans (finite, not omniscience).

Thus, a spirit would have a form of existing and thinking; it would exist without being generally visible; often popular traditions endow it with miraculous powers and more or less occult influences on the physical world.

Mururata (village)
Mururata is a village in the tropical valleys of the Bolivian Yungas in central Bolivia. It is a centre of Afro-Bolivian culture and the seat of the ceremonial Afro-Bolivian monarchy.

The area was originally populated during the 16th century. Under Spanish colonialism, African slave labour was used in the silver mines from the 17th century onwards. In the 19th century, after the abolition of slavery, freed slaves established the village of Mururata.

These terms are generally regarded as having negative connotations, comparable to an English term like "black magic". In a broader sense, the term Macumba is used for most Afro-Brazilian religious traditions, including Candomblé and Umbanda. In a more limited sense, macumba is used only to characterize traditions like Quimbanda that revolve around the lesser exu spirits, especially as they are practiced in Rio de Janeiro. Some practitioners of Afro-Brazilian traditions call themselves macumbeiros, although in some instances this is done predominantly in jest.

Steamboat Rock State Park
Steamboat Rock State Park is a 5,043-acre (2,041 ha) public recreation area located near the north end of Banks Lake in the Grand Coulee. The state park takes its name from the landscape's dominating feature, Steamboat Rock, a basalt butte that rises 800 feet (240 m) above the lake which nearly completely surrounds it. The butte's plateau covers more than 600 acres (240 ha) and was used by nomadic Native American tribes and by early settlers. During the last ice age, the monolith stood as an island in the new bed of the Columbia River where it had been diverted by ice dams. Once the dams burst creating massive floods and the Scablands, the Columbia returned to its original course, leaving Steamboat Rock as a prominent feature of the dry Grand Coulee.

Butte
In geomorphology, a butte (/bjuːt/ BEWT) is an isolated hill with steep, often vertical sides and a small, relatively flat top; buttes are smaller landforms than mesas, plateaus, and tablelands. The word butte comes from the French word butte (French: [byt]), meaning 'knoll' (of any size); its use is prevalent in the Western United States, including the Southwest, where mesa (Spanish for 'table') is used for the larger landform.

Due to their distinctive shapes, buttes are frequently landmarks in plains and mountainous areas. To differentiate the two landforms, geographers use the rule of thumb that a mesa has a top that is wider than its height, while a butte has a top that is narrower than its height.
