This spook apears often in old, lonely houses. It does not show on bright days, but when the weather is bad.
One home owner claims to have peeked at it. It is a rather small girl and looks like 三番叟 a Sanbaso dancer making a sound stepping on the floor.

Half way up the mountain is a cave called 吉三郎の穴 Kichisaburo no ana. Kichisaburo from 海名野 Eino village used to stay there over night when he was out making charcoal. Once O-Nyudo came and asked him to have 相撲 a bout of Sumo wrestling. Kichisaburo became quite afraid, placed a straw doll in the cave and rushed back downhill. When he came back next morning, the straw doll was all in tatters. He threw the straw into the river where it flowed down to Eino. There he picked it up, built a small sanctuary and held rituals.
This was the beginning of 海名野の人形三番叟 the Ningyo Sanbaso from Eino.

Upstream of the river 仁科川 Nishinagawa where was a man making charcoal. When he took a break to eat his food, a yamaotoko 山男 "mountain man" appeared and stretched out his huge hand asking for food. The man placed some steaming-hot rice on the hand and the mountain man run away in great pain.

Sometimes villgers hear the sound of someone cutting trees in the mountain forest deep in a dark night.
Deep in the mountain lived a farmer who planted millet.
Once 三番叟 a Sanbaso dancer passed by and asked to stay over night. At night the farmer could hear someone dancing to the sound of a bell.
But next morning he realized that nobody had stayed over night.
