hibashira ヒバシラ / 火柱
ヒバシラ(火柱)はイタチが焚く、と言われている。燃え上がる赤い焔で、これを見た人には良くないことが起こると言われている。
hitodama ヒトダマ
男のヒトダマは青みがかっており、女のは赤みがかって見える。死人が出る２、３日前にその家から出てくる。子供の頃見なかった者は生涯見ることは無く、子供の頃見た者はその後も何回も見ることになる。子供の頃ヒトダマを見ると出世できないともいう。
kanedama カネダマ
カネダマは唸りながら飛ぶ。カネダマが出た家は滅び、カネダマが落ちた家は栄えると言う。オカシラという家では３０年程前にカネダマが裏の藪に落ち、それから栄えだしたと言う。
kitsune 狐
明治40年ごろ本家から分家したとき、本家からついてきた狐を稲荷神として祭祀したのが屋敷神の始まりである。以前、火災の難を免れることができたのは屋敷神稲荷のおかげと今なお信じている。
yuurei 幽霊
江戸柳原で、ある者が天和３年の夏に死んだ。その頃のある夕暮に幽霊が現れ下女の袖を引いた。下女は気絶したがやがて気が付いた。下女の袖がなくなっていたのを不審に思い翌朝妻の塚に行くとその袖が石塔の上にあった。
