## Pole Spirit

### Rarity

Rare

When Haru leaves the Spirits' territory, the Pole Spirits will stop chasing her.

They can't actually kill Haru. They can only act as a living road block, getting in the way of Haru's path (as she cannot walk through these Spirits). While harmless, they can be annoying obstacle, especially if Haru is being chased by a hostile Spirit.
Big Bell

The Big Bell is a collectible Item in Yomawari: Night Alone. It is only accessible in a random event with the Monster Cat.

## Location

It is only accessible during the random event with the Monster Cat. When this random event is active, the Protagonist will find a lone white cat with brown and black spots guarding the Big Bell in the northwest Vacant Lot with the stereo. If the Protagonist gets too close with the Big Bell, the cat will transform into a Monster Cat and attempt to kill the girl before she can get the Item.

It is fast, so if you use normal means, it's normally too difficult to get the Big Bell with the Monster Cat trying to kill you. The only way to get the Big Bell is by distracting the Spirit with an Animal Feed while its still a cat or with a Doll while its in the Monster Cat form. However the time it is distracted with the Animal Feed is much shorter than with the Doll and it's probably not enough to get out alive.

Once you obtain the Big Bell, the Monster Cat will disappear.

* It is possible that Poro's Spirit brought this key to Haru. It would explain why the key was right in front of the door it is meant to unlock (because Poro dropped it there) and why it was cold (because Poro is a ghost, hence he lacks a warm body, and because Poro brought the key inside his mouth).
Hungry Ghost

Hungry Ghosts are Spirits from Yomawari: Night Alone that haunt the streets of the Downtown's shopping district.

## Appearance

Hungry Ghosts take the form of a naked humanoid with a hole for a face and a large belly. Their skin takes a darkened pale color, and you can visibly see the outlining of their rib cage.

When they chase after the Protagonist, a large mouth opens on their fat belly.

## Behavior

These Spirits stand still, appearing like the Downtown mannequins, when they are staying in their respective territories in the Downtown area. However, when the Protagonist gets too close to them, they will chase after the Protagonist with their mouth in their belly wide open. These Spirits lack any eyes, though they are still able to see the Protagonist with a limited vision.

During your first encounter with one of them in the Downtown area in Chapter 5 (Yomawari: Night Alone), it moves slow. However, in later encounters, the rest of the Hungry Ghosts will move very fast. So, because of limited stamina, the Protagonist needs to move quickly to hide or teleport using the telephone booths.

You can also sneak behind them slowly, as their field of vision doesn't include behind their bodies. However, running behind them may alert them of your presence.

## Mythology and Theories

This spirit is based on the Gaki, also called the Preta. Preta are supernatural beings that are constantly hungry and just like this spirit they have very narrow limbs but an engorged stomach, likely resembling malnutrition. The common translation for these beings is Hungry Ghost.

Hungry Ghosts are based on the rumors in Protagonist's Town about the shopping district's mannequins moving around at night. These rumors are found in the game's official website.

These Spirits are malicious, as they were sealed or driven away with the Salts that were placed all over the Downtown area. It seems that the Centipede Spirit is responsible for protecting the place from these Spirits.

## Trivia

* Though the Hungry Ghost doesn't have an official English name, the Yomawari: Night Alone scans reveal that its official Japanese name means "Hungry Ghost".

## Location

### Yomawari: Night Alone

In Chapter 5, the Salts Key Items are given by the Centipede Spirit to replace the destroyed Salts in the shopping district of the Downtown area.

After that, you can get the usable Salt from trash cans.

### Yomawari: Midnight Shadows

### Yomawari: Night Alone

She appears randomly appears in an alley starting at Chapter 2. This alley is located near the road between the Northeast Vacant Lot and the Field area. The Protagonist can have a chance to trigger this Spirit's event every time the Protagonist returns home. At Chapter 2, there will be a cellphone on the ground ringing. Most of the time, when the Protagonist answers the cellphone, it will be just static. But when the random event is active, Miss Mary answers the cellphone.

If Miss Mary answers it, she will say "I'm Miss Mary. I'm right behind you." After it finishes, if you look behind, the doll will appear and attack you with a knife.

If you have the Doll given by Hanako, you can face Miss Mary and then throw it at her. If it hits her or if Miss Mary runs into it (which happens if the Doll is thrown between the Protagonist and Miss Mary), she will stand on it for a while. After about 20 seconds or so, she will disappear and leave behind a collectible Item called Mary Doll.

### Yomawari: Midnight Shadows

She appears if you successfully trigger her event. You can find a cellphone lying on the road that's near Haru's House. According to the Kid's Note 5, after interacting with the phone and picking it up, you need to wait for the cellphone to ring seven times.

If you answer the phone after the incorrect amount of ringing, the cellphone will suddenly break and the cellphone is then unusable. You then need to repeat the event by returning back home.

If you answer the phone after the phone rang seven times, Miss Mary will answer it, saying "I'm Miss Mary. I'm right behind you." The cellphone then breaks. After it finishes, Miss Mary will appear behind you and attack you with a knife.

Just like in the first game, if you have the Doll given by Hanako, you can face Miss Mary and then throw it at her. If it hits her or if Miss Mary runs into it (which happens if the Doll is thrown between the Protagonist and Miss Mary), she will stand on it for a while. After about 20 seconds or so, she will disappear and leave behind a collectible Item called the Broken Cellphone.

I'm in the dumpster". The girl hangs up but gets another call  "It's me, Mary. I'm at the station". And finally "It's me, Mary. I'm in front of your house". When the girl opens the front door she gets another phone call  "It's me, Mary. I'm right behind you".

The Broken Necklace belongs to the Woman in the Rice Fields when she was still alive. Losing it before she died was part of the reason her spirit refuses to move on and become a restless and resentful spirit trying to get back her necklace no matter the cost, even go as far as killing people. By returning the necklace to her corpse at the bottom of the Cliff, the Spirit will be appeased and stop trying to kill the Protagonist.

### Rarity

Unique

If Haru tries to move while the bloody footprints are passing by, she will be confronted by a white face jumpscare before being killed.

In order to get through this event alive, Haru needs to remain completely still until the bloody footprints are done traversing down the mountain path. The Spirits travelling will be concluded when the sound of a ringing bell echoes again in the area. So, Haru shouldn't move until the bell rings again, even if it seems like there are no more bloody footprints going down the path.

Once the bell rings a second time, Haru can safely move again. If Haru goes up the path, she will find a collectible item called the Weird Urn.

## Trivia

* One of the Kid's Notes that Haru can find will instruct her not to move during the traveling of the bloody footprints in the Mountains.
* This 'white face jumpscare' is used in this event and the one for the Voice from the Bush event.

Once Haru spends five Coins at the vending machine, a loud click sound will come from the vending machine. After that, black hands will pop out of the vending machine's slot and attack Haru.

After that, Haru is transported into a parallel version of her hometown. In this place, there will be many large clams all over the town. The dark clams cannot be interacted with, but the white clams can be moved.

When she first arrives in this place, she will find a note that reads, "It's safe here." After that, she can move a white clam in order to go deeper into the strange place.

After passing the first white clam, she will find a second note that reads, "You can stay here forever." Haru can then move a second white clam, but this clam attacks by opening up and releasing Ectoplasms to attack the girl.

Once Haru passes through that hurdle, she will find a third note that reads, "Stay here." From there, Haru can push a third white clam into a body of water. This clam will also attack Haru by releasing Ectoplasms.

But once Haru pushes the third white clam into the water, Haru will be teleported back to her world. There, she will find a fourth note that is void of any writing and a collectible item called the Spirit Shell.

They usually have only two eyes and a mouth, all pure white, which only appear when illuminated with the flashlight.

When aggressive, they are dotted with red spots, and their face become more expressive. The rest of their bodies are visible even in the dark, though the player character must be at a close distance for it to appear. They emit a heavy breathing sound heard from a further distance, which is the first warning to the player.

## Behavior

Twisted Shadows have two behaviors. One passive and one aggressive.

When passive, they have no red markings and will stay in a fixed spot, ignoring the player completely. Throwing a Pebble does not rouse them in any way. However, if the player walks into them, they will still be killed.

When aggressive, they will chase the player. They are very slow, but since they are invisible until they are close to the player and emit a loud sound, players can panic and run into them. This video shows the behavior of an aggressive Twisted Shadow.

It is possible to temporarily halt the aggressive Spirit by distracting it. It can be done by throwing an item at it, like with a Paper Plane.

A Twisted Shadow being passive or aggressive appears to be entirely up to chance.

Each head has two ears, two red eyes that are shaped as slits, a mouth with red lips, and a red hook-shaped symbol on its forehead.

## Behavior

The deity will only come out of the Shrine's offering box if Haru throws enough Coins inside the offering box.

However, if Haru were to throw any trash like any Usable Items besides Coins, the Spirit will get angry at Haru for throwing trash at its shrine. The angry deity will then kill Haru.

## Mythology

The Rice Field Spirit is likely inspired and based after Inari Okami (稲荷大神), also referred to as O-Inari (大稲荷).

Inari Okami is known as the Japanese god or deity of foxes. It is associated as a god of fertility, rice, tea & sake, and agriculture & industry. In the earlier years of Japan, it is even seen as a patron for swordsmiths and blacksmiths, as well as a patron of merchants and a protector of warriors.

Inari Okami doesn't have a known gender, as it can be represented as male, female, or even androgynous. However, it is sometimes seen as a collective of three or five individual deities. The latter detail may be the inspiration behind why the Rice Field Spirit is depicted as multiple entities coming out of the shrine.

It is seen as a deity for general prosperity and worldly success. It is also one of the principal gods of the Shinto religion, as well as a popular figure for Buddhism in Japan. More than one-third of the Shinto shrines in Japan are dedicated to this deity. There are even modern corporations that revere this god with shrines atop their corporate headquarters.

The Rice Field Spirit may also be inspired after Inari Okami's foxes (known as kitsune) who are pure white foxes that act as the god's messengers.

Living Trashcan

This spirit doesn't have an official name. The name on this article is simply a descriptive name of this spirit.

## Living Trashcan

### Rarity

Rare

The Living Trashcan is an odd Spirit in Yomawari: Night Alone.

## Appearance

The Living Trashcan takes the appearance of an ordinary metallic trashcan that is often seen outside of houses and buildings, as well as in places like parking lots, parks, and alleys.

What makes this Spirit different from a normal trashcan is that it has a long pink tongue that can stick out of the opening that's usually closed by the trashcan's lid.

## Behavior

This Spirit is harmless, and serves as nothing more than a minor jumpscare. Among the ordinary trashcans in the town, it pretends to be a normal trashcan until the Protagonist searches inside it for an item.

After the girl finished inspecting it and taking whatever item that may be inside it, the Living Trashcan will suddenly stick its tongue out of its mouth. This causes the girl to fall down in shock, but she quickly recovers from it. After a while, this Spirit will pull its tongue back inside itself.

Other than that, it doesn't do anything else. It doesn't harm the girl nor does it hinder her actions. In addition, it doesn't affect the Protagonist's heartbeat.
Headless Chicken

The Headless Chicken is one of the unique Spirits in Yomawari: Night Alone.

## Appearance

The Headless Chicken takes the appearance of a regular female white chicken. However, its head is missing from its body. In its place is a cross-like bump, as if its head went inside its body.

## Behavior

You can find this Spirit before its official event even starts. It can be found inside the school's chicken coop, along with the other chickens.

Despite not having a head, the Headless Chicken can still sense people if they are nearby. It will run away from any human it encounters. It is ignored and unharmed by any of the Spirits hunting the Town at night, and it ignores the Spirits in return. However, if the Protagonist interacts with the Spirit, it will follow the girl for some time. But after a while, if its not interacted, it will run away again.

If the Headless Chicken and its living chicken friends are returned to the Chicken Coop, it will give the girl a Chicken Egg, which is a collectible Item.

## Mythology and Theories

The Headless Chicken may be the Spirit of a regular chicken that was killed by having its head cut off and then cooked to be eaten. However, this Spirit did not grew hatred towards humans. Instead, it grew to fear the humans. That's why this Spirit runs away from humans like the Protagonist. However, it can be tamed by people to follow them for a while. That is how the Protagonist was able to get the Spirit to follow her back to the Chicken Coop. Despite being a ghost, it shares a bond with its chicken brethren. That's why it gave the Protagonist a Chicken Egg for not just returning it back to the Chicken Coop, but also the other chickens.
Siren Spirit

This spirit doesn't have an official name. The name on this article is simply a descriptive name of this spirit.

## Siren Spirit

### Rarity

Common

The Siren Spirits are one of the kind of Spirits from Yomawari: Night Alone.

## Appearance

The Siren Spirits take the appearance of a humanoid Spirit. Their clothing is a matching white shirt and pants, similar to a straitjacket (but with the arms free), that are stained in blood. Their head is red while their eyes and mouth are glowing yellow.

## Behavior

When the Spirits are stationary, their heads spin around in circles. Because their eyes and mouth are glowing, their spinning heads resemble that of a siren.

When the Protagonist gets too close to one of these Spirits, they will stop spinning their heads and begin chasing the girl. These Spirits are relatively fast, so it's not easy to outrun them. However, these Spirits cannot pass through road barriers, affording some protection if the girl can get to them in time.

If the Protagonist throws a Pebble before she enters their sight radius, the Siren Spirit will focus its attention on it for a little while, allowing her to run past it undetected.

## Mythology and Theories

The Siren Spirits uniform reminds you of that of a straitjacket, the uniforms of patients with sever mental disorders in the mental hospitals. So it is possible that these Spirits may be that of deceased mental patients.

Another thing is that their heads act like a siren when their heads spin and their mouths & eyes glow. Sirens are usually used for police cars and ambulances. If by chance that these Spirits are indeed that of mental patients, then their siren-like heads may represent the ambulances used for hospitals.
Cigarette Butt

Chaco

**Chaco** is one of Yui's two pet dogs who appears in Yomawari: Midnight Shadows. He gets released by Yui at the start of the story, and begins a search to look for his owner after they are separated. Over the course of the search, he helps Haru look for Yui and helps her out of tough situations.

## Appearance

Chaco is a Pomeranian breed of dog. His appearance consists of mostly light brown, orange-ish fur. He also has some white fur on his tail, ears, feet, underbelly, beard, mouth, nose, and around the eyes. He is quite small, appearing to be smaller than Poro, and seem to be roughly the same size as Yui's other dog, Kuro.

## Personality

Chaco is an extremely intelligent and loyal dog. When he and Yui first get separated from each other, he continued to try to call out to her. When she disappeared and didn't return, he also helped Yui's friend, Haru, in her attempts to find her, and accompanied her in her various searches around town. He also displayed a great deal of courage when he intimidated or outright scared off various dangers that Haru faced.

## Plot

Chaco first appears in the Prologue, accompanying Yui as she buries her other dog, Kuro, in the mountains. Shortly after, she takes Chaco off his leash, and he runs off (later revealed to be following the voice of Malice), and Yui follows him. However, they eventually become separated, and Chaco eventually returns to the town after his owner does not return.

Chaco later runs into Haru, who is looking for Yui after she never returned from the fireworks display the two attended, and joins her in her search. He helps guide her around the town, and together they check the various places that they think Yui could be at. He also helps save her from some difficult situations, such as showing her an safe escape route from the collapsing Haunted House when one of their search attempts goes awry.

After the fateful confrontation with Malice, Haru's final acceptance of Yui's death, and the latter's passing, Chaco resides with Haru. He accompanied her when they visited Yui's grave, and continued to stay with her as she left her house at night to explore both her own and the neighboring towns.

## Trivia

* Chaco's name may have come from the phrase "Chairo no Koinu" (茶色の子犬), which means "Brown-Colored Puppy" in Japanese. This may refer to the dog's light brown fur.
* Chaco is one of the charms that Haru can choose to "equip" at her house, and is made available after the conclusion of the story.
	+ Equipping him will allow him to follow Haru around when she is outdoors, and prevents Mr. Yomawari from kidnapping her and sending her to the Factory in the Protagonist's hometown.
