Just a quick update, I have a few post's finished and pre-scheduled for every week of October. May add another one later this month not sure, but Spooky month will have plenty of updates 🎃🦇👻🦇🎃
Numa-Gozen Lake monster of the Fukushima Prefecture
According to myth, the Numa-Gozen lives beneath the waves of Lake Numazawa of Fukushima prefecture.
Eye witnesses accounts claim the Numa-Gozen is a big snake living in the Lake, and can turn into a young girl. In swamp areas, she lures unsuspecting farmers close to the water then drags them in.
Legend say's, she has six meter-long hair, and can create a storm she also has deadly venom within her body.
She was very violent and hostile towards humans.
She was thought to be slain during the Kamakura Period, but several later sightings would indicate she survived.
There is a Numa-Gozen Shrine nearby the lake and a festival depicting the slain of the serpentine yōkai has been held annually on the first Sunday of August.
