In Japanese folklore, the Ame-onna, or "rain woman" is a baby snatcher.

An Ame-onna becomes an Ame-onna because her baby is stolen from her. Driven mad by grief, the woman is turned into this distraught spirit.

On rainy days, it's said that an Ame-onna can be seen looking bedraggled, soaked, and animal like, licking the rain water off of her limbs. Carrying a large black bag, she seeks out infants to carry off with her. If she hears a baby crying in your home, she will even sneak in to carry it away.

The baby then potentially becomes another Ame-onna, and the mother is also at risk for becoming one.
