On this episode, we’re heading to Japan—into a world where folklore blurs the line between the terrifying, tragic… and downright bizarre. Yōkai are not your typical spirits.

Some emerge from forgotten objects left to decay. Some exist only to unsettle, confuse, or disturb those who cross their path. And others are far darker—manifestations of war, suffering, and souls that have been denied peace.

It’s that time of year again. The air is cold, lights are glowing, and everywhere you look there’s another Christmas festival, holiday market, or winter celebration bringing people together.

But tonight… we’re stepping away from jingle bells and into something a little more otherworldly. Because while many festivals celebrate joy, light, and togetherness — others honor the dead, the spirits, and the unseen.

In this episode of Ghost Encounters, we’re traveling across cultures and continents to explore ghost festivals from around the world.
