Together, they unravel the terrifying world of Japanese curses, the vengeful spirits known as onryō, and the dark rituals believed to bind rage, grief, and unfinished business to the living world.The conversation moves beyond legend into lived experience as JJ recounts an unsettling encounter during a house-hunting trip in Japan—an experience that blurred the line between bad luck, spiritual warning, and something far more sinister. From exorcisms rooted in Shinto and Buddhist traditions to the cultural fear of lingering spirits that refuse to move on, this episode explores why Japan’s supernatural reputation is so deeply feared—and respected.Equal parts folklore, theology, and personal horror, this episode is a slow-burning descent into curses that follow, spirits that watch, and the terrifying possibility that some places never want to be lived in at all.Support the showSOCIAL MEDIATwitter: @TWRoadpodcastIG: twroadpodcastWant to be a guest or share your paranormal experiences?  Email [email protected]
