I recently discovered this podcast and I’m addicted! History mixed with spooky lore in a most stimulating way. Binge worthy educational entertainment. I am interested in Japanese culture but this podcast would entertain anyone interested in ancient, modern and everything in between ghostly tales reported in very real historical places and events.
A fantastic podcast with really cool insight.
