Mokumokuren

Mokumokuren (目目連 or 目々連) are yōkai in Japanese mythology.

The Mokumokuren is considered by the Japanese to be one of the traditional inhabitants of haunted houses.

Waking in the middle of the night, he was confronted by an (almost) entire shoji screen staring down at him.

Instead of becoming scared, he removed the eyeballs from the screen and sold them to a local eye surgeon.

In another story, a traveler was determined to remain in the same house as a Mokumokuren, attempting to ignore it by wrapping the blanket he had been sleeping beneath tightly around his head.
