Sunekosuri
On summer nights, children playing outside would feel something wrapping around their legs. When they looked down, they saw a creature with a cute, puppy-like appearance. If they tried to catch it, the creature would skillfully slip through their legs and escape. The children would chase after it but eventually lose sight of it, only to realize they had wandered near a graveyard.
