Chochin Kozo (Japan)

Chochin Kozo looks like a young teenage boy with unkempt hair and is seen carrying a red paper lantern that illuminates his equally red face. He is said to appear on rainy evenings and follow lone travelers from behind before overtaking them. He then spins around and locks eyes on the person, staring at them with an eerie expression. When the unnerved traveler hurries past him, Chochin Kozo chases them and repeats the same act. He continues this eerie behavior until dawn, at which point he vanishes.
