Ever wondered if that charming house you're about to move into has a hidden history? Like, has someone died there? Or worse, been murdered? In the U.S., you'd better be a detective to uncover this information. Yet in Japan, the story is vastly different.

In this fascinating episode, JJ takes us on a personal journey through Japan's world of "jiko bukken" or stigmatized properties. After recently house-hunting in West Tokyo, JJ shares firsthand encounters with properties that come with more than just four walls and a roof: they come with history that might make your skin crawl.

One beautifully renovated home caught JJ's wife's eye, until the real estate agent reluctantly disclosed that an elderly woman had died

alone on the first floor. Another property sent JJ literally running for the stairs after experiencing an unexplainable, chilling presence in the attic.

The episode reveals how Japanese culture views death in the home very differently than Western culture does. There's a strong belief that places where people died violently or alone carry spiritual and karmic consequences for new inhabitants. JJ even shares a disturbing story from a real estate agent about a mother and daughter who mysteriously "wasted away" after moving into an apartment with no previously reported incidents.

For those brave souls planning to house-hunt in Japan, JJ recommends checking "Oshima Teru" (https://www.oshimaland.co.jp), a website that maps

reported incidents in properties across Japan, much to real estate agents' dismay!

Southern Demonology Season 6 Episode 1: Legitimate Satanic Panic

Season 6 starts off with a bang when Chris from the Wandering Road pocast and JJ welcome Branden Morgan, the talented host of The Devil Within podcast. As the conversation unfolds, listeners are taken on a compelling journey through Branden's unexpected entry into the world of podcasting, born from a personal tragedy and a haunting mystery that shaped his life.

Branden shares the harrowing tale of Tommy Sullivan, a seemingly perfect teenager whose life took a dark turn resulting in a shocking crime that still baffles the community decades later. The podcast dives deep into the unsolved aspects of this chilling case that left both parents and teenagers in a state of fear during the infamous "Satanic Panic" of the late 1980s. With a background in acting and screenwriting, Branden unfolded this narrative with raw emotion and an investigative lens, which clearly resonated with audiences, propelling his podcast to noteworthy acclaim.

Listeners can expect to hear about the intense emotional and psychological questions that plagued Branden during his exploration of the case. Why did Tommy, an all-star student and altar boy, commit such an atrocious act? What societal factors contributed to the tragedy? These poignant reflections are just a few elements that make Branden’s storytelling captivating.

Join us as we not only uncover the chilling details of Tommy Sullivan's case but also reflect on broader themes of mental health, the impact of community, and the mysteries that intertwine our lives with darkness. This episode promises to leave you questioning the complexities of human behavior and the hidden demons that can lurk beneath the surface.

Welcome to Bite!, the mini-episodes of the Southern Demonology podcast that are all about horror movies. In this episode, JJ breaks down why Uzumaki meaning "spiral" in Japanese is probably the best horror anime of all time, even with only episode 1 dropping last week, and how it perfectly represents the Lovecraftian horror that just oozes from the art of Japan's premiere mangaka, Junji Ito.

And welcome to the second to last episode of season 5! In this one, JJ invited Father Mike Birdsong and his son Deacon Josh, two exorcists from Georgia and frequent contributors to Southern Demonology, to offer their thoughts on the movie Godless: the Eastfield Exorcism. The goal was to showcase the improper methodologies the film depicts in hopes of showing others what an exorcism should never, ever look like. In fact, please consider this a follow-up to our episode The Do's and Don'ts of Exorcism.

While we've released Demonology 101, 201, and 301 up to this point, there really hasn't been a dedicated discussion as to what is NOT a demon. In this episode, Chris from the Wandering Road Podcast and JJ take a stab at just that and go over not only some lessons that anyone can use but also take the opportunity to address some of the misinformation that many love to promote, whether that would be through sermons or online. JJ finishes the episode with a quick synopsis of what an demon actually is in order to contrast the rest of the episode.
