The Big-Head O

A few years ago I suddenly remembered about a village I once visited. It was a friendly little village I discovered by chance while travelling alone. I stayed there overnight and received a most heart-warming welcome. For some reason I don't know, I felt an urge to go there again.

I have good memory and was pretty confident that I remembered the way to get there. Once near the village I spotted a familiar sign post from my car; which, if my memory was right, should have read "___km to __(the village's name)." But strangely enough all there was on the sign were the words "The Big-Head O". I had a bad feeling when I saw it but still decided to drive on.

When I arrived at the village I found it deserted and all the houses buried in weeds. I was deeply puzzled and was about to get off the car when I saw, about 20 metres ahead of me, something that looked like a human with a very large head looming out of the bushes.
What? What is that? While I was trying to figure out what was going on I saw other similar creatures coming out all around me; moreover, they started to come after me moving in a grotesque manner, with their arms lying still against their sides and their large heads swinging side to side...

I was glad I hadn't left the car.
I let the car run backwards at lightning speed and joined the main road. Afterwards I checked my map but the location of the village I visited a few years ago and the place I went on that day were unmistakeably one and the same. However I don't think I will dare to go there ever again.

Could those "grostesque body movements" be...pelvic thrusts?

I like this story- there's similar one in the US about "melon heads" who jump out at people at night on rural roads, but they don't have a mysterious village!

ok, so i just recently got interested in japan's legends. i was thinking, small people with banging heads look something like kappas, right? and the weeds covering the place somehow remind me of water.

so maby what you saw was a curse involving kappas... i don't really know, but it was deffinetly a curse. :/

This seems to remind me a lot of a game that I played called "Ao Oni". In the game, you play as a middle school/ HS boy. You try to get out of the haunted house in which you and your friends are locked in while avoiding being captured/killed by a blue humaniod being with a really large head, which is constantly chasing you. I wonder if the game is based on a story similar to this one.
