Send a text

Celebrate the 100th episode of Supernatural Japan as returning contributor Phillip Jackson shares chilling tales from Kyoto, diving into the eerie tradition of goryō worship—the vengeful spirits of wronged nobles. This episode explores the tragic story of Prince Sawara, brother of Emperor Kanmu, who was accused of an assassination plot, exiled to Awaji Island, and whose angry spirit was blamed for disasters in the ancient capital. Discover why ceremonies to appease these feared ghosts continue to this day, and don’t miss Kevin’s announcement of the brand-new Supernatural Japan Premium membership on Patreon for listeners who want even more supernatural content.
