BURUBURU

Buruburu, meaning the sound of shivering, is a terrible ghost from Japanese folklore that for reasons unknown is said to lurk in forests and graveyards in the form of an old person, who is sometimes one-eyed. According to legend it attaches itself to its victim's spine and causes a chill to run down them, or in the worst case causes them to die of fright.

Text from The Element Encyclopedia of Ghosts & Hauntings by Theresa Cheung (HarperElement, 2013)

A spirit of cowardice who induces feelings of fear. A buruburu causes people to act cowardly with their grip and touch.

This spirit is said to be born of cowardice and fear, and manifests itself by that shiver you feel down your spine in a terrifying situation. Buruburu has its name from the onomatopoeia of the sound of the wind. Next time you feel such a shiver, you know what's touching you.
