kootsuu jikoo 交通事故 traffic accident
Once upon a time a woman was killed in a traffic accident on the crossroads of the Ome Kaido.
A little later a woman in a white robe (as dead people are dressed for a funeral) appeared at the gas station and waved for a taxi.
When the taxi driver reached the destination, he looked at the back seat but there was nobody, only the seat was rather wet.

haku shika 白鹿，shiro ookami 白狼
日本武尊東征の際、御嶽山からの山路を越えた時に、邪神が白鹿となって道を塞いだため、尊は道に迷った。白狼が現れて西北に導いた。尊はこの狼に告げて、山上の本陣での火災盗難の守護を命じたため、以後、御嶽山の守護神としてあがめられたという。

ookami 狼
川崎市堰のイッチャンが、御嶽さんのお札が盗難に遭わないようにトウロをつけに行った。内心では、こんなもの効くものか、と思いながら山に入って行くと、狼が出てきて「ウー」とうなった。イッチャンは「もったいない、もったいない」と謝ったので、かみ付かれなかったという。

oonita 大荷田，bosara ボサラ
青梅から二ツ塚というところを越えて玉の内に帰って来る人が、大荷田の方へ間違って連れて行かれた。谷を越えるのに木のいっぱい生えた草むらみたいなボサラを通らされ、「おー深い、おー深い」と言って渡っていった。大荷田は部落である。

tanuki 狸
青梅あたりでは、狸が化けた和尚は白鷺の図を書いたがたいていは後になると消え失せてしまったという。
