Jorōgumo - The Binding Bride

from Supernatural Japan · host Supernatural Japan

A beautiful woman waits by a misty waterfall… but she’s no human. In this chilling episode of Supernatural Japan, we dive into the legend of the Jorōgumo — Japan’s deadly spider-woman yōkai. Explore her Edo-period origins, eerie encounters at Jōren Falls, and terrifying tales like Genbe the fisherman and Samurai Hiroshi. Blending folklore, history, and horror, this episode uncovers how the Jorōgumo lures, traps, and devours her victims — and why her legend still thrives in modern anime, manga, and Japanese culture.
