There was once a spidery contents here but a spider has now put them inside coccoons.... Like Shelob did with Frodo Baggins~ Or maybe like those fleshy things in Aliens before the chestburster bursts out of them~ Yep, like one of those things :D

I really love these Japanese horror stories. If you don't already know yami shibai then you definitely have to watch it. That are short anime horror episodes based on Japanese urban legends so it's full of creepy ghosts xD. I watched it with @rambutan.art because we are both big horror fans and it's great

Ooh I love this!!! Spidey should make more great stories(especially scary/creepy ones~)
I don't really know "tales" of ghosts specifically but I can at least name you some! Forgive me if my brief descriptions of them aren't accurate since "some peeps say this, some peeps say that" kind of thing. Pontianak(kinda like a female vampire???), toyol(a lil' devil/gremlin like creature that steals), orang minyak(a supernatural creature covered in oil that rapes women) and pochong(a wrapped undead corpse that can jump very far)

Yesh!!! I like the spooks
unless they're zombies... or more along the lines of it can "spread" kind of thing if you know what I mean. Use to get pretty bad nightmares about those scenariosPffft not sure though I do remember one of the stories from the book series, True Singapore Ghost Stories saying they encountered one and at first it was super far but got super close to him in under a few seconds but I guess that doesn't really answer your question all that well dgjskdf

Wait a minute.. At first I thought.. yea i thought.. You were the girl walking home from work feeling sad, overworked and underappreciated. Then you found a rock that you mistakenly thought was a crying baby. hmmmm.. definitely true story and it happened to you i bet!! hehehehehe... That's okay spider.. it will be our secret ;-)
I kept me on the edge of my seat though. Nice one! The drawing gives me chills now that I have the story to go along with it!

Ohhh that is a nice story. A bit creepy and also relatable about the work draining stuff.
The illustration works pretty well, I am glad that you included the story to go along with it, because otherwise from the picture alone, the Ubume looks totally malevolent hahaha.
Nice one, spider :).

And such an amazing story @veryspider Your illustration of it going perfectly with it. It made me think of old Victorian serials that would be in magazines each week, a story of gripping fear/suspense illustrated in ink. Wonderful. Now I'm off to google "Ubume" :)

Your story was so captivating Spider. I'm not familiar with Japanese Spirit stories like this one ~ But the way you told it, gave me the impression it wasn't an ordinary baby ~ But I certainly wasn't expecting the 'baby' to turn out to be a rock. Your drawing reminds me of the old fairy tale woodblock prints, I remember as a child. Enchanting work. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

I'm (almost) ready to come back again Spider. My two weeks has turned into three weeks almost ~ And could easily be turned into months now that I've given my 'Creative Muse' just a small taste of freedom.
I love this time of the year in Sydney where the air becomes fresh and crisp, but it's still not winter freezing. Just today I could really notice the change. I used to love Melbourne in autumn too.
It feels great to be catching up with you again. Have a wonderful day ~ Stay warm. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

I love your artwork but that story about the ubume made the hairs on my arms stand up. We have something similar here on the way out to our city there is a story where a woman with a child who waves to vehicles to stop. Dude I drive to work alone early in the morning passing that road lol.

I have to disagree with you - there's something about how you drew her mouth that I find WICKED creepy! Of course, my brain was probably influenced by the creepy cool story you wrote. 😊 Awesomely talented pairing you have here, @veryspider!

Captivating story! I had no idea it was based on folk legend until the very end. Also, the description of the woman in the first 2 paragraphs used to be me - I'm so glad I got out of that job!
Thanks for the great introduction to a Japanese legend!

Love your stories <3. You make a nice build up then at the end you drop the boomz. I grew up with La Llorona's stories. I remember that just hearing the name La Llorona was creepy times when kid, real creepy. And the illus, love the presence in the back, without much form but still a heavy entity.

Creepy is the right word to describe this story.
Love your writing. While reading. I saw a short film ( movie adaptation ) in my head. I can only imagine how the woman in this story would be feeling.
Brrrrr
Sorry, I can't think of any Dutch folklore to share with you. We were merely raised with fairytales and the more 'grim' ones were those by the Brothers Grimm.
P.S. I really, really love that artwork too ( the look, the framing, the 'shot' selection and the drawing style)
