Eight feet tall//Hachishakusama part 1

Eight feet tall or "Hachishakusama" is a Japanese urban legend about a tall woman who abducts children.She is 8 feet tall,wears a long white dress and makes a sound like "Po........Po....Po.....Po....Po..."

My grandparents lived in Japan.My parents usually take me there on a holiday to visit them.My grandparents lived in a small village and had a big backyard.I loved to play there during the summer.When we arrived,My grandparents always welcomed us with open arms.

But all that changed with one incident......

The last time I saw them was when I was 10 years old....

As usual,my parents booked a flight to Japan and drove to my grandparents house when we got there.They were delighted to see me and gave me lots of little presents.My parents wanted to have a little time by themselves,so they took a trip to another part of Japan,leaving me with my grandparents.

That day,i was playing out in the backyard and my grandparents were in the house drinking tea.I laid  down on the grass to rest and stared at the sky.I looked at the fluffy clouds and enjoyed the cool summer breeze.

That was when i heard a faint sound...."Po.......Po......Po....Po...."

Bewildered,I got up and looked around for the source of the sound."Po......Po.....Po.......Po".I didn't know what it was...It sounded like someone or something was just making the sound by themselves....as if they were just saying "Po.....Po...Po..." over and over again in a deep masculine voice...

That was when i suddenly noticed a straw hat behind of the garden hedge that enclosed the backyard.That was where the sound was coming from.

"Po....Po.....Po........Po....Po...."

Then,the hat suddenly moved,as if someone was wearing it.The hat stopped at a gap in the hedge and i could see a face peering through.It was a woman,and the hedges were......8 feet tall.....

I was surprised as to the woman's height and i wondered if she was wearing stilts or some kind of super tall high heels.Then,a split second later,the hat moved further and further away together with the sound that she was making...It was all fading away....

"Po.....Po....Po....."

I ran back into the house and decided to tell my grandparents what i saw.They weren't really listening to me and continued drinking tea.Until i mentioned the distinctive sound she was making.

"Po......Po...Po......Po....."

As soon as i said that,They both froze...My grandmother covered her mouth and stared at me in shock.My grandfather grabbed me by the hand and bombarded with questions.

"How tall was she??"My grandfather asked,almost shouting.

"As tall as the garden hedges....?"i replied with a trembling voice.

"This is very important,"my grandfather said in an intense voice."did she see you????where was she standing??when did this happen?????what did you do??"

I tried to answer as many questions as possible...I was getting scared.....He suddenly rushed out the hallway to make a phone call.i couldn't hear what he was saying...But i could hear his trembling voice....I looked over at my grandmother and she was trembling as well...

Grandpa ran back into the kitchen and talked to my grandmother.

"I'm going out for a while.Don't take your eyes off her for second!"he said.

"What is going on grandpa...?"i cried..

"There's no need to worry....You're going to be fine....."Grandma said,trembling
