    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.

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.
