Grab some cucumbers, a Shinto protective trinket and convert to Buddhism because this week we’re discussing Japanese Ghost Stories and the Yokai which inhabit them! On the list this week includes the prototypical foxy lady of Ancient China, the origin of Samara from the Ring, how to make a giant bone monster and what happens next when you hear the sound of “teke teke” creeping up from behind you...
