Ghost Stories/Gakkou no Kaidan (Dubbed) S1/E6

The children of the town are attacked by a spirit, which leaves them shaking in fear for days, while their parents are not home. The spirit Babasare (ババサレ) resembles the Grim Reaper and has the power to alter reality. It haunts children that are home alone and those who believe in and fear her. However, she cannot appear to adults or brave children (like Momoko). When she comes to Satsuki's house to attack Satsuki, Hajime, Leo, and Keiichirō, Satsuki tries to destroy her by spilling hot water on her. This stops her, but it is shown that this does not permanently stop her
