The Eight Feet Tall spirit, also known as Hasshakusama, is notorious for preying on children. This sinister spirit prefers children as they are easier to manipulate and are still dependent on older family members, which the Eight Feet Tall spirit can mimic to lure her victims away. She doesn't bother with adults, focusing her malefic energies on the young and innocent. This chilling detail adds an extra layer of horror to the Hachishakusama story, making it a spine-tingling tale in Japanese folklore.
