Line 94:
* The Japanese version is the ''Hyakki Yako'' or "Hundred Demons' Night-Parade", made up of a multitude of [[Youkai]] and transformed objects like the umbrella demon. Fortunately it's just a bit of mischief, although anyone who comes across the procession will die, unless protected by some Buddhist sutra.
* The European Wild Hunt, as stated in the main article, is the one that started it all. The first known reference is probably by the chronicler Ordericus Vitalis in the 1130s. Stories vary by country or even regions of the same country, but an extremely creepy trait of some versions is that the farther away the hoof-beats or howling sounds, the closer they're getting to you. And while it's never a ''good'' thing to find yourself under pursuit from gods or [[The Fair Folk]], some believe [[Brown Note|that if you look upon the Wild Hunt, you die]].
* All Hallows Eve in America is supposedly a night when evil spirits and monsters roam out of doors. Or something like that. Actually it's a night when bratty children dressed as evil spirits and monsters beg for candy but it's the spirit of the thing that counts, isn't it?
