Although tatarimokke are generally harmless (and more often than not treated with respect), depending on how the child died, the yōkai might well seek revenge or retribution🦉😨😱
I'll let the wonderful @matthewmeyerart tell you more⬇️

Gif of an owl raising its wings and running across the floor.
Not all owls are what they seem.
There is a yōkai (妖怪) in Japan known as a 'tatarimokke' (祟り蛙 lit. 'cursed infant'). These 'owls' have been possessed by the spirit of a dead baby or young child, and will stay close to the family home.
Adorable owl netsuke.

A quiet, inconspicuous neighbour here in the tree next door. He is completely unimpressed by the streams of people walking along the path right next to him.

🌬️ Ein Rechenzentrum in der Windkraftanlage? Klingt entspannt bei diesen Temperaturen! Wie das genau aussieht und welche Vorteile es bringt, hat sich unsere Regionalgruppe Ostwestfalen-Lippe mit Gruppenleiterin Elke Radeke vergangene Woche bei einer Exkursion angeschaut.
Lust auf noch mehr Programm in #OWL? Hier gehts zur Website der Gruppe: https://rg-ostwestfalen.gi.de/
