Kunekune is a modern urban myth concerning an ghostly apparition loitering on widely extended rice- or barley fields at lunchtime, during hot summer days. It is described as a white streak, like a big, slender paper mannequin, or like a white, loose textile streak. It's wiggling the whole time, as if moved by a strong gust of wind, even on windless days. It is claimed that anyone trying to get closer turns loony or dies when touching it. First mention of the Kunekune appeared on several internet websites at the same time, similar to the infamous Slenderman. It is most likely that the Kunekune is based on local Japanese ghost stories about scarecrows coming to life at night (or when someones stares at them too often). Thus, the alleged encounters of Kunekune seem to be a misinterpretation of a scarecrow wiggling slightly in the wind.
