Sagari is a yōkai resembling a monstrous horse head that hangs on the branches of trees, startling any passerby. It is said to be the spirit of a horse that fell ill and after it died, was buried in a tree.
In the Okayama Prefecture, a man was walking along a road at night when he came upon an old hackberry tree, with its branches making a rustling sound even though there was no wind. When he stopped to wonder, the man looked up at the tree and found a Sagari hanging from the branch. The Sagari opened its mouth and roared as the man ran away. 
Another story told that when a man was being chased by bandits, he climbed up a tree near his house that just so happened to have a Sagari sleeping in it. The Sagari woke up and fell down the tree with a crash, directly hitting the bandit and cracking his head open, killing him instantly. The Sagari then climbed back up the tree and returned to sleep.
