100 Ghostly Candles

100 Ghostly Candles

Join Nathaniel and Mitch as they examine ghost stories, myths, legends, and creepy pasta from Japan, Korea, and the rest of Asia. Whether its Japanese yokai (monsters) or yurei (ghosts), or Korean gwishin (ghosts) or dokkaebi (ogres/goblins), they try to uncover the culprits behind each paranormal tale. With years of experience living, traveling, and studying in Japan and Korea, Nathaniel and Mitch bring a unique perspective to their hunt for answers to these spooky stories. If you love scary stories and exploring deep and beautiful cultures, be sure to tune in. Also, join them for our Ale and a Ghostly Tale bonus episodes where we meet with friends to share a drink and tell the best spooky stories we have heard or experienced. Join us as we light another candle!
