Oboroguruma (朧車, "hazy cart") is a Yōkai in Japanese mythology.

Mythologyedit

The Oboroguruma is a ghostly ox cart with a face on it. Legend has it that on misty nights that are lit by the moon in Kyoto, people can hear squeaking sounds coming from an ox cart. When the person steps outside, they would find the Oboroguruma parked outside their home.
