It has also been told that if one refuses, one would be shoved down into a snowy valley. When one hugs the child, the child would become heavier and heavier until one would become covered with snow and freeze to death. Also, it has some points of similarity with the kokakuchō and on the night of a blizzard, as the Yuki-onna would be standing there hugging a child ( yukinko), it would ask people passing by to hug the child as well. Then, before his eyes, the girl turned into a whirl of snow that exited the house through the chimney. When late at night the Yuki-onna would again go out on a journey, the old man would attempt to take her hand to stop her, when he noticed that she was chillingly cold. In the Aomori and Yamagata Prefectures, there is a similar story about one called the "Shigama-onna." In the Kaminoyama region of Yamagata, a yuki-onna would come visit an old couple on a snowy night to warm herself by the irori. This woman was reluctant to go into the bath and when she was made to go in anyway, she disappeared, leaving only thin, fragmented, floating icicles (see also tsurara-onna). In legends from the Ojiya region of Niigata Prefecture, a beautiful woman came to visit a man and became his wife from the woman's own desire.
