海外の怪奇な話、都市伝説、オカルト話を翻訳してみる。(This website includes English translations of Japanese urban legends, scary tales and strange stories.)
When I was a kid, a thick-browed old man with huge ears and black beard lived in my house. His whole body was green. He left my house right before mother gave birth to my little brother.
Also, in a shrine of a mountain behind my house, there was a big old man who was taller than the shrine gateway, Torii. In other words, he was over 3 or 4 meters high. I often played with him. He jumped from mountain to mountain holding me in his arm. While the green man left right before my brother came into the world (as I was 3), the big man taller than the Torii left soon after I entered a kindergarten.
Thereafter, when I was in sixth grade, I first rode a roller coaster and that brought back the feeling I had felt when the big man jumped from mountain to mountain holding me in his arm.
