    In Brazil "Spirited Away" was translated as "Chihiro's trip"(A viagem de Chihiro). We don't have a word for being kidnapped by a god, but we have the legend of the of the Sack man/Bag man, a man with a sack on his back who carries naughty children away. The legend evolved with time:
    Originally he only took the children away to a far land, then he sold the children to charcoal mines to work as slaves, and now the works for an international children's organ smuggling gang.

    This happens in the Hmong culture too. Sometimes ghosts or spirits will appear in dreams, trying to take them away to the spirit world (meaning person would die in their sleep). It is especially a bad omen if you dream about dragons. There’s other things like if you fall in a river/lake your “spirit” falls into the water too so it needs to be called back by releasing a duck into the water and having it swim back. There’s also warnings that ghosts can attach themselves to you and follow you home. People would get sick and need a ritual done by a shaman to get better. These beliefs still continue today.

    Kappa (4:14) have a seriously dark history. In the Tohoku region centuries ago, famine regularly wiped out swaths of the population. Things would get so desperate that new mothers would sacrifice their infants so there would be less mouths to feed. A common practice was to take them to a stream at night and perform a ritual that would turn the child's spirit into a kappa. It ended with her crushing the infant's skull saying the words 'A kappa needs a place for it's water.' Kappa are depicted with a water filled indentation on the top of their heads. To this day there are rituals at some shrines called water child ceremonies for the spirits of lost or miscarried infants.

    That's neat about the age of seven thing. In ancient Rome, a child was considered an infant until the age of seven because that was the general age of when a child's baby teeth would come out, or at least start to. I think maybe the Japanese had the same sort of logic in that childhood transition.

    I love that you picked up this quite unknown story! Lately here in Japan the modern Japanese translation of the story became a huge topic on Twitter which actually no one knows why. Bookstores sell it with a nice Tengu cover under the title of 仙境異聞 'Miraculous stories from the Land of Hermits'
    I am reading the book lately and tried to find some content about it on youtube but there was almost nothing until I coincidentally found your clip! I am watching your other clips and I am a huge fan, studying Japanese religions and adding some special knowledge thanks to you!

    In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised if there is some truth to the concepts. Consider modern accounts of people going missing abruptly or stories of alien abductions. Japan even had stories of what was likely the first documented account of a UFO.
    There are also stories of people abruptly disappearing while for no apparent cause while traveling together in the woods.
    Here's my own experience :
    This one time I went with a group to a forest. I stepped through a bush to see a bench overlooking a lake. I sat down and watched the sunset over the hills in the distance and the sunset appeared to move much faster until it was nearly fully set within a few moments, and then I observed the sunset reverse to be near where it was. All this lasted a few minutes from my perspective when I suddenly heard people calling from me. I didn't want to turn around, I felt almost compelled to stay, but then I turned around and called out. One of my friends stepped through the bush and asked where I was, that they were looking all over for me, and I was gone for over an hour.
    So I lost around an hour of time watching the sun move in fast forward and reverse. Obviously the sun doesn't move that way, so I figured that time itself must have flowed differently.
    Some years later I returned to that spot - around "Iron Gate" in Illinois - and the bushes were cut back so the spot wasn't concealed anymore. I sat on the bench and took a picture of where I was facing and a pillar of light was seen in front of a cabin across the water, but I didn't otherwise experience anything else.

      @@J3diMindTrix I am Filipino and this is based off of folklore here in the extreme north of the Philippines 🙂
      There are several tales of little people/dwarves (dwende) spiriting children away or attempting to do just that. One of my aunts in my father's side told me that she was often visited by these dwende folk that no one else seemed to see but her (it is said that the dwende folk like to prey on meek and quiet children). They would speak in a weird language and would try to offer her food. She would always refuse. She eventually told her parents and they promptly called on the local witch doctor who had to do a ritual on her that involved smoke (not too sure on the details of how they did it). One day, they stopped coming by.

    These are similar to Celtic stories about Sidhe (pronounced "Shee") beings who steal children and young women and replace them with changelings. Although these stories have been softened a bit in Victorian fairy stories like Peter Pan, in the old stories the child isn't always returned, and the parents (or in the most recent case of Sidhe abduction in the late 1800s, the husband) often abuse or kill changelings, who were often just sickly or differently abled.I am pretty sure that I might have been thought a changeling had I been born before my family immigrated to Canada because I am on the autism spectrum.
