There were tales where men stocking ox with fish for delivery encountered yamauba at capes and got chased by them, such as the "Ushikata Yamauba" and the "Kuwazu Jobo", as well as a tale where someone who was chased by the yamauba would climb a chain appearing from the skies in order to flee, and when the yamauba tried to make chase by climbing the chain too, she fell to her death into a field of buckwheat, called the "Tendo-san no Kin no Kusari."
