Kitsune Encounters

Do the kitsune kami still exist? Do they walk among us? Is kitsune-tsuki real?(fox possession)

Some say they still do. Here is one such person.

“I met this kitsune on my first and only mushroom trip, had awesome sex with her and she stayed with me for a while. While the spiritual sex continued to be awesome it started to have a succubus like quality on my energy levels. I tried to get her to leave but she said she couldn't, so I researched the stuff, we went into the woods to build a shrine to inari, I saw a real fox close up for the first time and she went away. That's what happened.”

“I won’t give specific locations for privacy reasons. Im from New England USA. Back in 2005 I was vacationing on an island off the coast of New Brunswick Canada at my cousin's vacation home. My family went with them and some other cousins for around a week. There wasn't enough room in the house for everyone, so the other boys and I stayed outside in my tent.

I was about 15 at the time, and the two other boys were about 13 and 10. We were very close to a beach, and there was a large patch of reeds in the backyard that ran alongside the side of the house up to the road with a section of grass in between.

One night the older of the two and I got up to take a leak. We turned to face the Reed patch and noticed a distinct glow coming from them. There was an apparition that was clearly in the shape of a fox, but the body was like a white fog. It was a clear night and there wasn't any fog out. Just this fox shaped apparition. About 15 to 25 feet away from us. It glowed like an LED, but was easy on the eyes to look at. It had no eyes mouth or nose on its face and no distinct facial features or eyeshine. We could see through it. It seemed like it was looking directly at us.

It started walking away from us in a perpendicular path away from the road. It disturbed the reeds as it walked. After it walked a short distance for about half a minute it turned to its left to move deeper into the reeds and completely vanished. The light and everything gone in an instant. We weren't at all afraid of this, but we were left with a sense of wonder. We slept easily after that.

A good 14 to 15 years later I finally decided to look into what it might have been. For some reason it didn't dawn on me to look into it until then. What we saw just about perfectly matches a Kiko kitsune spirit from Japanese folklore. The spirits whom act as messengers for Inari. I saw the anime Inari kon kon just a year or two ago, and noticed the foxes depicted in that anime were almost exactly like what we had seen. The manga didn't come out until 2010 and by that point I wasn't too familiar with manga. The anime came out in 2014. My cousin and I knew almost nothing about fox spirit mythology in 2005.”
