Hey, y'all! This is episode 1 of Obscure Worldwide for Patreon. The Patreon will be launching February 1st, so I wanted to give y'all a little taste of what the bonus episodes will be like if you wish to join.

The Obscure Worldwide episodes aren't limited to Appalachia, instead spanning the globe. They'll be a bit shorter, more casual and conversational, and less censored. A bit less polished, too, which is hard for me, y'all. But you say you want that, so here it is!

In Japan, following the earthquake and tsunami of 2011, ghosts began cropping up in the area of the disaster and nearby. When I say ghosts, I mean HORDES of ghosts. Spirits on a large scale. The stories are heartbreaking, fascinating, and understandable.

CW/TW: Natural disaster, widespread grief, nuclear disaster, demonic possession.
