Ghostly Japan Story: The Curse of the Kenmun

In this episode we start with an original story inspired by folklore from the Amami islands in the years after the second world war. A group of US Marines sent in for occupation duty to the Amami islands encounter a supernatural creature that doesn't take kindly to the US occupation with ramifications that the marines could never have guessed. Afterwards, stick around for a discussion of the real life folklore that inspired the story and the history behind it. #Folklore #Japan #History #Yokai #fiction
