rokubu-goroshi 六部殺し killing a Rokubu, murder of a Rokubu
六部殺し伝説 Rokubu goroshi densetsu - comes with more than 11,000 results googeling !
Working on the Rokubu legends, I found two patterns that are told quite often:
One is of a family having a Rokubu pilgrim staying over night, only to kill him and get his money - and then suffer some kind of curse for generations.
The other type of legend
tells of families which have a problem and ask an itinerant Rokubu, almost like a Shaman, for explanation, understanding and help.

This basic story comes in various forms.
A farmer's family let a Rokubu stay over night and cooked a good meal for him, but when they saw the money in his backpack, they decided to kill him and get his money.
They used the money to start a prosperous business.
A child later born to the family was the re-incarnation of this Rokubu - but the child could not speak. One night the child seemed to need to go to the toilet, so father went with him to the outhouse. It was a moonlit night (a dark night, a rainy night . . . variations) - anyway the same weather as the night when they had killed the Rokubu.
Suddenly the child opened his mouth and talked!
"It was a night just like this when you killed me! I remember well!"
And in one second the face changed into that of the Rokubu.
The end of the story varies again, with the father falling dead on the spot, the riches of the family being lost and they get very poor again . . .

In times without television or daily newspapers, in all parts of Japan, itinerant Rokubu and other pilgrims were welcome to bring news from the parts they had just been. They were called
異人(まれびと)Marebito and treated well, bringing good luck and fortune to a village - usually.
Sometimes they got killed and their stories are まれびと殺し marebito koroshi.
marebito - 稀人 / 客人
In some parts where the family did not have a child, it was possible to offer the woman of the house as maroodo-kon「客人(まろうど)婚」"wedding a traveler", a "bride for one night" to an itinerant priest, and a child born out of this "marriage" might later remember what happened to his father.
