Or perhaps you've heard stories of a kind-hearted sorceress. Good, bad, or indifferent, how can one figure symbolize so many seemingly opposing things? We'll try to answer those questions and more on this episode of Unspookable.

Episode 59: Yokai and Japanese Folklore with Thersa Matsuura

A lot of us have heard the word Illuminati, but what does it mean? Is there really a secret group of people controlling society from the shadows? There are conspiracy theories in the world today about these very questions and so much more, but where do these ideas come from? And why do people keep spreading them? Finding and agreeing on the truth can be hard sometimes and we'll talk about that and more on this episode of Unspookable.    Host: Elise Parisian Written by: Ellenor Riley-Condit Created, Produced, Edited by: Nate DuFort Music Direction and Composition: Jesse Case Logo by: Natalie Khuen You can find Unspookable on Twitter and Instagram at: https://twitter.com/ImUnspookable https://www.instagram.com/unspookablepodcast/
