According to the "Inu hariko," when a yamabushi (a mountain priest) stayed at Daizen-in Temple in Gojo Karasuma, Kyoto, there was a very loud noise late at night, and at the same time, a hairy arm stretched from the ceiling and stroked yamabushi's face, so that the yamabushi cut off the arm, and the next morning there was the dead body of the Ogumo as big as about 84 cm by a Buddhist altar there.
『狗張子』によれば、京都五条烏丸で、ある山伏が大善院という寺に泊まったところ、夜更けに激しい音とともに、天井から毛むくじゃらの手がのびて山伏の顔をなでたので、刀で斬り落としたところ、翌朝には仏壇のそばに2尺8寸（約84センチメートル）の大蜘蛛の死骸があったという。
