Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Kyle brings us back to the world of Japanese folklore by way of Yokai. We talk about the crossover of Shinto beliefs and the origins of Yokai, as well as a human-faced tree that bears unnerving fruits, the horse-based possession of a wealthy exotic meat-lover, a vengeful turtle ghost that sometimes doubles as the proprietor of a restaurant, and the horrible yokai-ification of a particularly unpleasant stomach bug...all this and more!
