The Spirit of the Man-Eating Marsh (人喰い沼の人魂, Hitokui-numa no Hitodama) is the eighth episode of Ultraman Taro.

Plot[]

A local child, Jiro, discovers that a nearby marsh house beings known as Dead Spirits. Jiro’s father goes with the police to investigate, and they discover that the red flames are not spirits at all, but the eyes of the horrific frog monster, Tondaile, which has already swallowed a number of people. Responding to their urgent message, ZAT comes to investigate.
