Bedtime Stories and Fairy Tales by Beast

Ame Onna Summoned Thunderstorm

24 Aug 2022

Description

A fierce thunderstorms with some slightly spooky music Ame onna (Japanese: 雨女 or あめおんな, meaning "rain woman") are a class of yokai that appear on rainy days and nights. They summon rain wherever they go, and are often blamed for kidnapping and spiriting children away. Ame onna are related to minor rain deities. However, unlike the gods, ame-onna are not benevolent. Though the rains they bring might save a village in drought or bring fortune to farmers, ame-onna have another purpose in mind: they wander the villages on rainy nights looking for newborn babies. If they should find a child born that night, they snatch it and carry it off into the darkness, spiriting it away to turn it into another ame-onna. Appearance They appear as depraved, haggish women, soaked with rainwater, often licking the rain off of their hands and arms like wild animals. Best with headphones or 3D audio. I hope you enjoy.
