Episode 221 - Summer of Yokai

Ahhhh summer. We make plans to flock to the nearest beaches and rivers to cool down under the warmth of the sun. We make travel plans and explore new cities and countries. There's so much to look forward to as things heat up! But we're here to warn you that summer isn't all fun and games... There could be spirits and cryptids lurking close by, waiting for you to let your guard down. This is a deep dive into a few of Japan's water loving Yokai  - Akaei, Tanuki, Enko and Kosodate Yurei.  Have ghost stories of your own?
