Greetings Wanderers!
Welcome back to another spook-filled episode!
Today we are taking a trip to the gorgeous Japan to learn about Yokai! Yokai is, for lack of a better term, a catch-all term for anything and everything unexplainable. From the supernatural, to scary stories to keep your kids from misbehaving,to reasons why you should not throw away an object that is still useful. There is truly a Yokai for EVERYTHING. So pack some snacks, a warm sweater, and perhaps some tea to drink as we dive in!
