Kechibi

Kechibi (けち火) is an atmospheric ghost light told in the legends of Kōchi Prefecture.

When a man called Yoshiyan was walking through the road at night, beside the Monobe River, there was a kechibi turned over on the roadside.

Upon coming closer to it, it would start rolling around, and when he chased it due to curiosity, the kechibi would also run away, and eventually he found himself entering a person's home.

In that home, a man who was having a nightmare woke up, and said to his wife, "Yoshiyan was chasing me, so I ran away desperately.

"[6] Also, as a folktale in the Takaoka District also from the Meiji Period, a man with much bravery named Kumaani Saitō witnessed a kechibi, and when he shouted, "come fly over here," it flew right in front of him.
