Hitobashira means "human pillars" in Portuguese and this legend arose in ancient Japan. People believed that it was necessary to make sacrifices to the gods so that their constructions would always be protected and become strong and stable.
How were these sacrifices made? They sealed people on the pillars of their buildings and, if the gods liked what was done, the buildings lasted for years and years. However, they would always be haunted by the people who were trapped on the walls.
